WALKING SAFARIS WITH ECOTRAINING – STEP INTO THE WILD

EcoTraining, based in the Greater Kruger National Park, offers some of the most authentic and immersive walking safaris in South Africa. As pioneers in safari guide training, their focus is on reconnecting people with nature—on foot. These are not your typical game drives. This is about feeling the crunch of the earth beneath your boots, reading tracks in the sand, and listening to the language of the bush.

Led by expert trainers and armed guides, EcoTraining’s walking safaris take you into unfenced wilderness areas where you become part of the environment, not just a spectator. Every step brings an opportunity to learn—about animal behaviour, ecology, and your own instincts. It’s a thrilling, humbling, and grounding experience that strips away distractions and brings the wild into sharp focus.

Based at unfenced camps across the Greater Kruger region, including in reserves like Selati, Karongwe, and Makuleke, EcoTraining’s safaris are raw and real. Whether you’re a traveller looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or an aspiring field guide eager to learn bush skills from the best, EcoTraining’s walking experiences deliver connection, adrenaline, and deep ecological insight.

Come walk the paths of elephants, follow the trails of lions, and learn how to see the bush through the eyes of a tracker. With EcoTraining, your walking safari isn’t just a game-viewing activity—it’s an awakening.
