Some
lodges and camps organize game walks and hikes outside of the Park.
The wide open country is ideal for game viewing on foot. With a
well trained and knowledgeable guide, a game walk around Amboseli
lets you experience the wild "one on one" and to encounter
wild game great and small on ground level. Walks can be arranged
at most lodges and camps in Amboseli.
A privately escorted foot safari is the best way to really experience
the African bush at its best. Walking through the wilds let you
explore the wild at its most pure and visceral. as you track big
game, you become aware of every sight and sound, the smell of the
earth and the touch of the wind. An expert tracker will teach you
the signs to look for, tracks- the individual tracks and spoor,
and show you how to use the wind to disguise your scent, and to
move silently through thick cover and get up close and personal
with the game.
When you are at close range your senses are heightened, and you
become increasingly aware of the animal you are watching, how it
moves and feeds, how it reacts to its environment. If the animal
reacts to your presence, it can be a real adrenaline rush.
There are few experiences as exhilarating as a close encounter with
an elephant, lion or buffalo. This is an experience that will make
you feel more alive.
You will, of course, want to stay alive so make sure that any foot
safari is undertaken by a fully trained and responsible guide.
