SELINDA WALKING TRAILS SAFARI EXPERIENCE

Selinda Walking Trails are led by an armed Professional Guide as well as a tracker. Safety! The Trails guide carries a rifle, two-way radio and first aid kit. A back up vehicle is available in emergency.  The morning walk is between 7-10km/4-6miles and lasts for between three and five hours. Typically, the morning trail ends at that evening's trail camp.

A short afternoon walk of 3km/2miles is conducted from camp into the surrounding area.  Trailists need carry only their cameras and binoculars. All luggage is transferred by vehicle to the next camp. Water and snacks are supplied whilst on the trail. In the event that something interesting is discovered on foot, such as a lion kill, the Trails back-up vehicle can be used for drives to get closer to the action. It also gives trailists the chance to do night drives should they wish.

WHAT YOU MAY SEE 
Walking safaris are the best way to become closer to nature, to see it up close and to feel it. The Trails guide and tracker will introduce the smaller creatures, plants and spoor, as well as stalk up on some of the larger manmmals.  Elephant are common and frequently encountered but mostly viewed from a distance.  Lion and cheetah are seen less often. Wild Dog sightings are rewarding and quite possible during the dry season.  Birding is excellent with more than 310 species having been recorded on The Selinda Reserve.

The species more commonly seen on foot include: buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, hippo, hyena and a wide variety of antelope.
