GREAT WALK OF AFRICA 2025
Another amazing Great Walk season comes to a close…
We often ask our visitors at the end of the Great Walk of Africa “what was the most important thing you took from the safari?” The most common answer is “…for the first time in years, I had time to think.” The best journeys answer questions that at the outset you never thought to ask. On the Great Walk there is time for this, you will find yourself in a world you could never have imagined; a world far from other people, where natural wildlife rules supreme. You will find it to be a simpler world than the one you are used to, which we journey through fully aware that we are privileged to be there.
This last season - between June and October - the Great Walk across Tsavo National Park produced stunning moments with wildlife. There has been a big increase in the population of African hunting dogs, and many of our groups were fortunate to see this incredible species; lions were plentiful, as were leopards, and of course the elephants produced as they always do. One of the highlights of every Great Walk this past season was at our beautiful Epiya Chapeyu camp, where the surrounding doum palms produce a nut essential to the elephant diet. We can have as many as 20 bulls in the camp vicinity during our peak season, and they are as docile as can be, some even poking their heads inquisitively into the dining tent as we eat.
The Great Walk of Africa is an award-winning safari, recognised as Africa’s unsurpassed walking experience. Over 10 days we hike approximately 100 miles, and we carry only our light daypacks. If you are looking for magnificent camp locations (there are 7 camps), and gourmet cuisine, join us in 2025 for the African experience of a lifetime.
We will take you into a world far removed from the world’s strife, where politics, wars, social media, and television news become inconsequential. Tropical Ice’s Great Walk of Africa is the best therapy possible, you will find some perspective to your life, and…you will even have time to ‘think’!
