BABANANGO’S NEW WALKING SAFARIS

Babanango Game Reserve in KwaZulu-Natal recently launched new, immersive ‘ guided Walking Safaris’ in the reserve, including overnight camping right in the heart of the African wilderness.

While a game drive safari is undoubtedly a bucket-list adventure, nothing quite compares to a walking safari. A highly trained guide will lead guests through the hills, grasslands and valleys of the White Umfolozi River, with the chance to encounter not only the famed Big Five but also discover hidden gems best experienced on foot.  Guides will also share their expertise on essential bushcraft survival skills, such as identifying animal tracks, spotting camouflaged creatures, and recognizing edible or medicinal plants. Guests will learn to interpret animal behaviour and understand the intricate balance of the ecosystem. This deeper understanding truly enriches the safari experience and makes for memories.

After a day of exploration, the adventure continues with an overnight stay in a canvas tent at the base camp. Nestled in a secluded area of the 20,000 hectare reserve, these tents provide a rustic yet comfortable retreat, equipped with essential facilities, sleeping bags, and lantern lighting. Guests will fall asleep to the sounds of the bush and wake with the African sunrise for an authentic connection to nature.
