Walking Safari, Phinda Game Reserve, South Africa
During mid-October we spent a fantastic four days at the Walking Safaris camp at Phinda Game Reserve in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. The experience was memorable ! We were looked after by a great team at the camp, led by Sam the ranger for the camp. The ultimate african wildlife safari has got to be on foot and staying in an unfenced camp. Although the idea is not to encounter the big five on foot, but rather leave that until the evening drives to look for them, we encountered lion on foot - two lioness. Not the first time for me, but a great experience and the whole situation was handled incredibly well by Sam and his tracker. We saw them, they saw us, we stopped, watched for a short while and then backed away, with no aggresive response from the animals at all. The bushveld is not just about the big animal sightings and we had a great time looking at the smaller things - tracks, plants, trees, insects and smaller animals. A fantastic location with a very professional team.
