Omschrijving

Walking Wild is not your typical safari—no game drives, no cool sundowners, and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat, and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park.

Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company. Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents or lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly—others lay wide-eyed, waiting for dawn.

They drank from murky trickles in dried-out riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo, and crocodiles, and slowly learned to read the bush—from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion.

But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers–both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat–move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. Walking Wild captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie, and deep immersion in the wild—a journey that leaves no one unchanged.

Walking Wild is a testament to resilience, discovery, and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamed of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.
