In the Savanna

All Hikes in 'In the Savanna'

Savanna hikes combine open grassland, thornveld, woodland and wide skies, often with an excellent chance of noticing birds, smaller wildlife and the changing character of the veld. This tag groups walks and destinations where the savanna landscape is part of the experience.

Wildlife country needs the right approach

A reserve visit is not automatically an independent hike. In areas with dangerous wildlife, walk only on designated public paths or through a properly authorised guided activity, and never leave a vehicle or trail to improve a sighting. The individual guide explains whether a place offers a genuine walk, a safari experience or a scenic visit.

Prepare for exposure

Sun, heat, storms, ticks and long distances between shade or water can shape a savanna outing. Carry water and sun protection, start early in hot weather, follow local rules and leave wildlife plenty of space.
