In addition to walking safaris, Big 5 game drives and night drives are offered to allow guests to participate in a full spectrum of safari activities.

Lodge Facilities

The Greater Kruger area can get very hot in summer and thankfully the camp has a beautiful splash pool complete with decking and deck chairs. Often, elephants come to the pool and stick their trunks into the water to drink.

There is wireless internet connection at Africa on Foot to keep guests connected to the outside world, but to truly immerse yourself in the rustic bush experience, the camp is run on solar power, and there are ambient lanterns decorating camp.

Safari Activities

Each Walking Safari lasts about from 2-3 hours and begins with a comprehensive demonstration on how to behave when encountering animals. All Walking Safaris are led by qualified rangers who have had intensive specialised training in approaching dangerous wildlife.

In the evenings, guests are taken on a game drive, which brings you a lot closer to the big game. The night drives allow guests the opportunity to see the nocturnal animals not encountered during the day.
