Recharge & Relax

Enjoy a restorative moment in East Africa

For all of the activities East Africa promises, sometimes there comes a moment when finding stillness is worthwhile. In East Africa, you’ll find that moment in a region full of unique and rejuvenating experiences. These are lands of natural beauty, with vast open spaces, lush forests, and shimmering lakes, making it the perfect place to unwind and escape the stresses of modern life.

From savannas perfect for watching long sunrises and sunsets to meditative paddle boat rides through lakes, East Africa has a way of reconnecting you to what really matters. Luxurious lodges and restorative spa treatments await you at the end of your day, as do evenings and nights free of city lights and full of stars.

Let the beauty of each day take your breath away, and the stillness of each night give you the space to find it again

An island getaway in East Africa

For those seeking a laid-back experience after their Uganda safari tour, a few days in Zanzibar, the idyllic island off the coast of Tanzania, is the perfect place to unwind. Here, you can relax on white-sand beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy the island’s rich cultural heritage.

Nature Walks

Nature Walks

Walk through the wilderness of East Africa

If you are a lover of nature and yearn to be immersed in the serene beauty of the great outdoors, then this activity is perfect for you.

 

A nature walk is a sensory feast that delights the senses and rejuvenates the soul. The rustling of leaves underfoot, the melodious sounds of the birds, the sight of grazing animals in the distance, and the earthy smell of the soil combine to create an experience that is both enchanting and invigorating.

Find your path through East Africa's stunning natural landscapes

After a few hours on the road, there’s nothing quite like slipping off on foot into the stillness of the Ugandan wilds. From the lush forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park to the open savannahs of the Serengeti, you’ll have a chance to marvel at the impressive flora and fauna that make the regions’ natural habitats unique.

Nature walks are a restorative adventure, and Kikooko Africa Safaris is the perfect guide to take you on this journey. See below for itineraries that incorporate this activity. We are also happy to customize your itinerary to suit your preferences.

Walking Safaris

Walking Safaris

Experience East Africa on foot

Our walking safaris take you on a journey of discovery through the savannahs, forests, and mountains of East Africa, providing an intimate and authentic experience of the country’s wildlife and culture.

 

Walking safaris offer a unique opportunity to observe wildlife, including the once-endangered white rhino, up close and personal, and to appreciate the subtle details of the African wilderness that are often missed on traditional game drives.

The most epic walking safaris in East Africa

In Uganda, you can explore the vast savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the rugged mountains of the Rwenzori Mountains National Park, or the lush forests of Kibale National Park. Each park offers a unique and unforgettable walking safari experience.

In Tanzania, areas for walking safaris exist in Tarangire National Park and in the northern part of Serengeti National Park. If accompanied by a park ranger, walking is also allowed in the Ngorongoro Conservation area, though not within the crater itself. 

In Rwanda, Akagera National Park is the main area, with a walking tour that goes along the park’s perimeter.

Recommended Tours

Our walking safaris offer more than just game viewing. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the local cultures and traditions of Uganda, as our guides share their knowledge of the country’s history and customs.
