This is what a walking safari feels like. No engine, no windows – just you, your guide and a herd of buffalo at a respectful distance.

On foot you notice the little things: tracks in the sand, the smell of the herd, the call of the oxpeckers. Every walk is different, and that's the magic.

Want to experience it? Send us a message – we plan private walking safaris on your dates.

Meet the two people behind iLala Safaris.

Jan Hendrik has been guiding in the African bush for almost 20 years, mostly on foot. He reads tracks like other people read the newspaper, stops for every bird and flower, and bakes the bread on every safari.

Sabrina swapped spreadsheets for spoor. She's a Swiss accountant turned trails guide and yoga teacher, so she'll guide you on a morning walk, roll out the yoga mat in the afternoon, and still keep the books in order.

Together we guide walking, yoga and privately guided safaris – and we'll be sharing more of our life in the bush here.

This August, we’re lacing up (again!) for the Siyafunda Slog — 100km on foot along the Makalali Game Reserve fence-line, over two days, raising funds for the rangers and anti-poaching teams protecting rhino and other endangered species. This will be our 3rd time. Every step (and every rand) goes toward keeping these animals safe. Link in bio if you’d like to support us. 🦏👣

The bush is still thick after all the rains, making it difficult to find animals. We didn't struggle with lions though and found this lioness lying in the road, calling for her pride.
