Publisher's Synopsis
A comprehensive guide that features a diverse range of guided walking safaris in 22 of South Africa's famously diverse and richly populated national parks and nature reserves. From the grassy dunes of the Kalahari and the heathlands of the Cape to the subtropical forests and savanna regions of the lowveld, South Africa has a wide variety of walking terrains, teeming with wildlife, large and small. Organised by accredited public and private walking safari operators and led by highly experienced wildlife guides, the walking experiences cater for all tastes - from short dawn and dusk walks to multi-day outings from a base camp to backpacking trails over several days, either in settings of luxury or out in the wild under the stars. Discover when to go, what to pack, what to wear, and the dos and don'ts of walking in areas with big game. Alongside the practicalities, a diverse collection of first-hand tales of walking adventures vividly illustrate the magical experience of exploring the bush on foot, restoring our deep connection to the natural world.
