I would have loved a walking safari not that long ago. Used to walk from 10 to 30 or 40 KMs a day once during hunts.

Nowadays two blackamatics and a sedan chair might be pleasant from time to time.

On some of these walking safaris they wore through at least one pair of boots.

In non sleeping sickness country horses were also used. Mules and donkeys pre conditioned for tetse might also be used.

Harder hunting on foot physically, game was probably less wary and certainly more numerous. Injured or sick, one might get buried out there. Though explorers such as Stanley and Livingstone often spent much time in a bearer borne litter.
