Walking safaris are conducted in areas known for their safety and rich biodiversity, such as the borders of the Serengeti and in protected areas around Ngorongoro. You will walk in small groups to ensure safety and maintain a low environmental impact. Each walk is paced comfortably, with stops to observe wildlife, track animal prints, and discuss the environment. Mornings are typically preferred for walking to take advantage of cooler temperatures and active wildlife.
