Walking safaris allow guests to feel the pulse of untamed Africa through the soles of their feet.
Sabi Sabi is also home to a remarkable 350 species of birds. On a single summer’s day, a visitor from the Northern Hemisphere will probably see more bird species than he is likely to see in a lifetime in his home country. In fact, almost 5% of the world’s bird species have been recorded in this region of South Africa.
