Alex Hunter's Walking Safaris is an exclusive five night safari that offers every aspect of what a real safari should be - seeing animals, walking, exploring, and experiencing African life alongside the expert local trackers who live in this area.
The opportunities for game viewing on foot or by vehicle, at any time of the year are undoubtedly some of the best in Africa. The area transects the Koiyaki and Ol Kinyei Group ranches, adjoining the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
The idea behind Alex Hunter's Walking Safaris is to gain a much more intimate, comprehensive, and intense experience of the animals and landscape in a wilderness area. The animals you come across will be going about their daily business of survival undisturbed. Walking is a fantastic way to encounter game, their tracks, sounds, scents, their relationships to each other and the ever-changing environment.
Accommodation on Alex Hunter's Walking Safaris is in comfortable, walk-in insect-proof tents, custom-made for the walking safaris. They are bush-green, with large mesh windows on all sides for maximum viewing (can be completely closed if necessary). The mesh roof (to see the night sky) can be covered with a flysheet if rain looks likely. Comfortable bedrolls with mattresses, cotton sheets and warm covers (with hot water bottles when necessary) on a 7ft X 7ft sheepskin carpet make up the sleeping arrangements. Washing facilities consist of hot traditional safari bucket showers as required, washstands with basins and a short drop toilet tent.
