5 Tips for the keen hiker
Carry snacks and water at all times1)
It is essential that you stay hydrated and sustain your
body with the energy necessary to
venture on walks through the wild.
Hike in a group2)Stay with your
group! Accidents happen. Hiking
through nature has its risks – be sure to
have at least one other person with
you to aid you should it be necessary.
Only pack the essentials3)
You don’t want to walk around with kilograms of food
and clothes on your back. Pack light so you can enjoy your
walk.
Take a map or ask for a guide to avoid getting lost
4)
Never leave the pack and never
stray from the path. If you want to take a different path, be sure to take a map
or a guide who knows the area
well.
Wear Comfortable Shoes5)
Nothing crushes the spirit like blistered feet. Remember to break in your shoes before attempting a
long hike.
** Find the perfect hiking route!
Be sure to choose a hiking route and hiking group that suits your fitness
profile. Many game reserves offer
guided hikes tailored to suit you and ensure your utmost comfort
throughout the trip.
