Watching game drives are the most popular safari activities in Kenya, and with good reason. But as you pass through travelling woodlands, riverine forests, lake banks, savannah plains and other habitats, you actually pass many of Kenya’s most fascinating inhabitants. Kenya walking safaris are accessible for all fitness levels, and they can be as easy or adventurous or challenging as you like. Guided bush walks or nature walks may continue as little as one hour or extend into half the day.
