We are so pleased to say that Africa on Foot has been nominated for the 2016 Safari Awards alongside a number of superb lodges in South Africa. It is an honour to be recognised as one of the best in a total of 3 categories, all of which we are immensely proud: Best Guiding Team, Best Walking Safari, and Best Vaule Safari Property.
We are determined to keep it real, and to offer the most authentic safari experience around, beginning with the early morning bush walks, to lunchtime siestas by the pool (with the elephants), and ending the day around a crackling camp fire listening to the sounds of the night.
Our team of guides has been trained by the best in their respective guiding schools, and upon arrival at Africa on Foot they fall under the employ of camp co-owner, Courteney Blunden, whose passion for the bush has seen him achieve FGASA Level 3 and SKS Dangerous Game qualifications. The admiration the Africa on Foot guiding team has for the bush, and the professional manner in which they conduct themselves is what makes them some of the best in the business. Impassioned, and knowledgable, these guys have chosen their paths of life in the bush, and their enthusiasm is evident.
Walking safaris are perhaps where Africa on Foot stands out the most (it is even in its name). In a category where only 6 lodges in South Africa have been nominated, this is a true speciality field. Rising with the sun and setting off into on foot just as the bush comes alive is an incomparable experience. This is what sets Africa on Foot apart, and it is what makes guests choose to go to this unassuming safari camp over and over again.
As far as a ‘best value property’ nomination goes, Africa on Foot is one of the most affordable safari camps in the Greater Kruger Park, but the ‘value’ part only really counts when guests are receiving an experience they deem exceptional. Co-owner Cecilia Blunden (also armed with a FGASA qualification) possesses the dedication of this intimate safari camp in offering the best all-rounded adventure in the Klaserie. Africa on Foot is proof that it does not need to come at great cost.
In the categories of Best Guiding Team, Best Walking Safari, and Best Value Safari Property, we’ve been nominated to win, so if you find us worthy in any of the above , please cast your vote!
