Walking
Safaris
Try your hand at tracking the spoor of waterbuck or
even elephant or rhino ...probably the most exiting
activity at Hlane is the guided walking safari with
a Swazi field guide, and an inquisitive ostrich or
two often accompany you! These are conducted from Ndlovu
camp and often bring the walker into close contact
with elephant and white rhino as well as a variety
of other game.
A network of self-guided trails can be found at Mlilwane,
ranging from a leisurely stroll along the plains where
in variety of game are often found. Wildebeest, zebra,
blesbok to mention but a few. Or try the harder trails
leading up to the infamous Rock of Execution
Bhubesi camp patrons have the access to a self-guided
walking trail alongside the Umbuluzana River. The trail

The trailing philosophy of the Big Game Parks of the Kingdom of Swaziland is to promote an affinity with nature and kinship with all life.
The walking trails which meander through game country are not intended as endurance walks, but should be seen as providing an opportunity to walk with nature. If this is done slowly and sensitively, it may bring rich reward, a renewal of soul and a better understanding on man's place in nature. If you are quiet, you should see a wide variety of faunal life along the different trails, varying from giraffe and kudu to dassies, black eagles, red rock hares, field mice, centipedes and ants. Our message to you is " treat them all with respect and don't unnecessarily cause them harm".
The emphasis here is on the word " unnecessarily" for you will undoubtedly take life on trail; you will tread on an ant or a bug for instance, and if you do so unintentionally and without malice, you will be excused. It is when such things are done deliberately and for no good reason that they become unacceptable. With this concept, let us develop and foster a national ethic of respect for, and coexistence with, our wild places and the plants and creatures that inhabit them. Let us all leave them clean and tidy and unpolluted for those who follow unimpaired for the enjoyment of the future generations. |
