While the first-time visitor to the African bush will be content to indulge him or herself in the wonderful animal sightings to be experienced, return visitors may wish to delve deeper into this world. This will especially be true of those who have undertaken a walking safari, with its exposure to animal tracks and droppings, (dangerous) animal behaviour and so on. To meet this desire, AfricaAway has designed a very individual ‘Survival Skills’ safari, which combines conventional game viewing and walking with a unique learning exercise.

This nine-day Zambia-based safari combines conventional game viewing and walking, staying at both main lodges (3 nights) and bush camps (6 nights), with daily lectures on various aspects of bush craft, tracking and survival skills, the principles learned then being put into practice in subsequent forays into the bush. This course requires a minimum of six participants, sharing two to a hut, and runs between June and October.  For more information please contact us.
