What's a walking safari like?
The walking will not be strenuous and there will be many intervals at various points of interest. The distance covered will be approximately 10km (allow 3-4 hours) on the first day and 13km (allow 4-5 hours) on the second day. As the walk is run on an exclusive basis we are flexible and can reduce it if you feel you are not fit enough.
