FGASA is excited to announce the release of Walking Safaris of Africa: Guided Walks from the Cape to Kenya, a new book written and compiled by FGASA member and guide Denis Costello. This essential guidebook is the first of its kind to explore walking safaris across Africa’s major wildlife destinations and features stories, reflections, and professional insights from many of the continent’s most highly regarded FGASA Trails Guides.
The book highlights the experiences and expertise of well-known FGASA members including Noelle van Muiden, Massimo Rebuzzi, Brett Horley, Marius Swart, and Sabrina Krattinger, among others. It also showcases the work of lodges and operators who proudly train and/or employ FGASA-qualified guides, such as Lowveld Trails, Nightjar Training, Ingwenya Field Guide Training & Consulting, Bhejane Nature Training, Zululand Explorers, Lion Sands Game Reserve, Manukuza Wilderness Safaris, MORE Family Collection, Royal Malewane, Simbavati, Singita, &Beyond Travel, Thornybush Game Lodge—and many more.
Packed with advice, wilderness knowledge, and captivating stories of adventure, Walking Safaris of Africa takes readers beyond the confines of the 4×4 and into the immersive, life-changing experience of safari on foot. From tranquil dawn strolls to multi-day backpacking expeditions, Denis captures the essence of guided walking safaris, showcasing not only Africa’s iconic wildlife but also its rich ecosystems, flora, insect life, rock art, fossils, and human history.
