Full-Day Bush Walk Details
Experience Africa as it was meant to be—on foot, in the heart of the wild.
Our Full-Day Bush Walks are designed to reconnect you with nature, offering a rare opportunity to explore the African wilderness at a relaxed, immersive pace. With just a moderate fitness level, you can fully enjoy this journey as we let the bush guide us.
Whether we’re following fresh rhino tracks, quietly trailing a lion along the river, or simply soaking in the sights and sounds of the untamed landscape, every step brings a new adventure. This is the only experience of its kind in Gauteng, offering some of the best Big 5 encounters on foot possible.
We begin just after sunrise and walk until just before sunset, with plenty of time to absorb the beauty around us. And don’t worry—when the midday heat settles in, we take a comfortable lunch break, giving you time to rest, recharge, and take it all in.
If you’re ready to swap the safari vehicle for a true wilderness adventure, this is your chance. Step into the wild—one foot at a time.

05:50 – Arrival, Indemnity Forms & Pre-Walk Briefing
Your adventure begins just before sunrise as you arrive at our designated meeting point. Here, you’ll meet your qualified professional guide, complete the necessary indemnity forms, and receive a comprehensive safety briefing. We’ll go over the essential bush-walking etiquette, what to expect for the day, and how to maximize your experience.
06:20 – Depart for Morning Walking Session
As the first golden light of day stretches across the bushveld, we step into the wild. With the air still crisp and the animals at their most active, this is the perfect time to spot fresh tracks, listen for early morning bird calls, and follow signs of overnight wildlife movement.
06:20 – 11:50 – Morning Walking Session
This is where the adventure truly unfolds. We take the day one step at a time, following the natural rhythms of the bush. Whether we’re tracking rhinos, observing a herd of elephants, or quietly watching a lion move along the river’s edge, every walk is a unique experience. We adapt our route based on wildlife activity, ensuring the best possible encounters on foot. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating insights into animal behaviour, plant uses, bird identification, and the delicate balance of this untamed ecosystem.
11:50 – 13:20 – Lunch Break & Bush Nap
As the midday heat settles in, we take a well-deserved break. A comfortable rest spot is chosen where you can relax, enjoy a packed lunch, and soak in the sounds of the wilderness. Some guests may use this time for a peaceful bush nap, while others may simply sit back and take in the surroundings.
13:20 – 17:20 – Afternoon Walking Session
Re-energized, we set off for the afternoon session. The sun starts its slow descent, casting long shadows and bringing another wave of wildlife movement. This is often the best time to witness elephants heading toward water, predators becoming active, and the golden light making for spectacular scenery. We may revisit areas we tracked in the morning or explore new terrain, ensuring the best possible sightings before the day ends.
17:20 – Post-Walk Debrief & Departure
As we return to our starting point, we gather for a short debrief, reflecting on the day’s highlights and incredible encounters. This is your chance to ask any lingering questions, share stories, and soak in the last moments of the bush before heading back to civilization.
One thing is certain—no two walks are ever the same, but every walk is unforgettable
