Walking Wild is a walking safari experience through one of Kenya’s best wildlife viewing habitats – the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. This area provides some of the most stunning landscapes in Africa and are home to a wide variety of game including the “Big Five” (rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and buffalo), over 420 species of birds, reticulated giraffe, cheetah, numerous different antelopes and endangered species such as the Grevy zebra and sitatunga. The increasing shift away from the confines of a traditional lodge has seen Kitonga develop this exceptional experience into a memorable part of any holiday for any age group.
A normal Walking Wild day involves an early start, after a full breakfast then breaking to pass the heat of the day under the shade of an acacia tree. This is an opportunity to allow the animals to come to you and often turns up some excellent sightings. As the day passes the walking will continue towards the night’s camp which will be set up at a new location. Often by moonlight we are able to watch the animals move around our light weight camps. It is a unique chance to really become part of the conservancy in a way in which the nocturnal activity accepts you as if you have always been part of the wilderness. You will traverse a variety of ecosystems, enabling you to experience the diversity of flora and fauna that the areas have to offer. The focus of the safari is learning about the ecosystems as well as the Maasai culture.
