Safaris are either vehicle-based in an open-sided Austrian Pinzgauer or guided on foot. On a walking safari you’ll need a level of fitness that enables you to walk at a gentle pace on uneven ground for 2-3 hours. On vehicle safaris there will be plenty of opportunities to stop at sites of interest and walk around. On receiving your booking we’ll send you further details of where to meet and what to bring.
Knepp Wildland Safaris are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature and are therefore unsuitable for children under 12.

Knepp Wildland Safaris, our gardens and campsite are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature.
Some of the species we are likely to encounter are shy or can be frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Our campsite with open-air fire-pits, wood-burning stoves and an on-site pond is unsuitable for small children.
For this reason, our safaris, garden visits, holiday cottages and campsite are suitable only for children of 12 and over.
