Walking Safari
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Tanzania’s spectacular ecosystems on our Walking Safaris. Accompanied by highly experienced guides, these safaris offer a unique perspective of the bush, from the tiniest insects to the towering elephants. It’s an opportunity to learn about tracking, the medicinal uses of plants, and the complex ecosystem interactions that might be missed on vehicle-based tours. Ideal for those who relish a closer connection to nature and a more physical form of exploration.
Walking Safari
This is a guided nature walk where guests explore the bush on foot with an armed, professional guide. It focuses on close-up experiences, tracks, plants, birds, and smaller wildlife while learning about ecosystems and animal behavior. Walks are slow-paced, done in small groups, and usually held in the cool morning hours for safety and comfort.
