A normal Walking Wild day involves an early start, after a full breakfast then breaking to pass the heat of the day under the shade of an acacia tree. This is an opportunity to allow the animals to come to you and often turns up some excellent sightings. As the day passes the walking will continue towards the night’s camp which will be set up at a new location.
Often by moonlight we are able to watch the animals move around our light weight camps. It is a unique chance to really become part of the conservancy in a way in which the nocturnal activity accepts you as if you have always been part of the wilderness.
The increasing shift away from the confines of a traditional lodge has seen Kitonga develop this exceptional experience into a memorable part of any holiday for any age group. It is particularly popular with children. While the simplicity and chance to spend a few days walking the region with its natural guardians, the Laikip Masai, remains its most popular asset, Walking Wilds hidden strength lies in the fact it can unlock parts of the soul that a traditional safari cannot, simply because by its very nature no two walks can be the same.
