The walking safari is like any other game drive, you may be lucky to spot the lonely giraffe in the distance, a couple of zebras on an intimate outing or a pack of curious wild dogs from the distance, call out the birds and learn about the medicinal plants and insects and their wonderful contribution, often ignored to the ecosystem. Your camp, carried on the back of camels will always be a step ahead of you and ready to welcome you as you complete your walk.
