A Unique Insight into Kenya

Kenya walking tours offer a different way to experience the African landscape. These tours are a tranquil and intimate way to get to know the sights and sounds of Kenya away from the chug chugging of car motors. On these tours you are also supporting locals who provide the guides and animals to transport your luggage and equipment. You can get to know the way that the locals live and get a taste of authentic Kenya. Walking tours also have little impact on the environment and local habitats, so you can ensure that the lands you are marveling at will be around for your children and grandchildren to discover one day too. Responsible and sustainable tourism practices are used wherever possible.

What Can I See and Experience?

Such walking tours give you the chance to snap close up shots with virtually every African animal that you care to name. You can see zebras, glimpse herds of elephants, meet black rhinos, graceful giraffes and gazelles, lions, leopards, hippos and wildebeest. You can also visit native tribal villages and get to know their cultural traditions, bathe in hot springs and climb mountain escarpments. There is something completely disarming and memorable at every twist and turn on a Kenya walking tour. Some of the typical locations included in Kenya walking tours are: the Great Rift Valley, Loita Hills, Masailand, Mt Kenya, Laikipia Plateau, Karisia Hills and the old growth forests of the Leroghi Plateau. The local tribes that are usually visited on these tours are the Masai and the semi-nomadic Samburu people.

How Fit do I Have to Be?

You don’t need to be especially fit to take the walking tours and keep up the pace. If you are fit enough to make it through a gentle hike, then you are going to be fine with a Kenya walking tour. Tours offer you all the creature comforts including hot showers, comfortable accommodation, specially prepared three course meals and air conditioned transport to and from your walks.
