South Africa has been richly blessed with a magnificent array of nature reserves, parks, and game farms for local and international travellers to discover and explore. These amenities are abundant in a sumptuous assortment of wildlife – with the Big 5 catered for extensively throughout the country – a striking collection of various flora, diverse and eclectic bird species, and reptiles just to name a few. The parks and reserves are furthermore known for their breathtaking and riveting scenery and aesthetic appeal making this African nation one of the most beautiful natural paradises in the world. There are many ways in which to explore this spectacular piece of Mother Earth with a range of options at the disposal of visitors namely game drives, hot air balloon rides, and even horseback expeditions, but one of the most rewarding and adventurous has to be a wildlife foot safari.

While there are many tours available where guests can explore the park on their own without a guide, these trails often have none of the bigger, more dangerous animals in close proximity and so a guided foot safari is always recommended as it guarantees to bring you up close and very personal with some of the planet’s most fascinating animals. Think about being just feet from the likes of the rhino or the elephant while they are going about their business totally unaware of you – sounds like magic doesn’t it? Well, it is indeed an experience unlike any other! While there are many types of foot safaris on offer, visitors will do well to enjoy the benefits of a multi-day foot safari where they will be able to unearth not only the jewels of the animal kingdom, but also those of the earth that surrounds them and even the cultural legacies of indigenous peoples who have inhabited these lands many years ago.
