Walking Safari; Botswana - with Botswana Odyssey

There is no better way to feel part of the bush than being on foot; it is a simply fascinating experience to be a part of nature, sharing the same surroundings and experience that the animals have themselves.

Hearing, smelling and being part of the bush is what makes walking safaris so exciting. The eagerness to see what's around each corner edged by the adrenaline that pumps through your body keeps your focus sharp and enhances every walk you take.

Botswana is home to some of the best walking safaris throughout the continent, be it a 14 day walking safari or simply a walk out from one of the camps, it is on a walking safari that you learn the finer details of the bush and can have truly breathtaking encounters with game.

There is no denying it, game runs when it sees you but this sets the challenge; not letting the game know you are there is the key to a successful walk and it is this that challenges most guides as they take groups to within metres of game.

There is simply nothing quite like watching a herd of elephants you've tracked for half a day cross a river within feet of you because you have positioned yourselves and anticipated where they are going. Seeing cats on foot may be someones nightmare but a walkers dream, we suggest you try it to find out!
