Walking Safaris in Tanzania

Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro

Tanzania has a huge variety of options for walking safaris, whether you’re looking for short walks from camp or longer immersive multi-day trips.

Walking safaris in Tanzania are completely different to game drives. On foot, you are a participant in the world of wildlife rather than a spectator, which is a thrilling safari experience.

Feel, hear and smell Tanzania

Imagine,

You walk on the same path as the elephants and other wildlife.
You feel the wind through your hair.
Hear a lion roar in the distance and smell the bush and wildlife. Your senses awaken.
You become part of your environment and the wilderness becomes more real.

Wildlife up close and personal

While animals will generally ignore you in a vehicle, they see you as another type of animal when you are on foot. Getting up close and personal with wildlife is definitely a rush of excitement. Walking is also a great way to appreciate the smaller wildlife, which can’t be so easily seen from a vehicle.

Access remote areas on foot

On foot, you can walk

Into remote areas and reach places that a safari car can’t. Once on foot.
You are not constrained by roads and can go almost anywhere you like.
Away from the crowds, off the beaten track. It offers you a freedom incomparable to any game drive safari from the beginning.
Walking in the wilderness felt right and good, if not exciting.
You become more a part of the wildlife than apart from them. Our walks are designed for those who like the private intimacy of being in the wilderness and who marvel and engage in the whole experience – from the tracks in the sand left by insects to the chance encounter with an unsuspecting animal coming down to drink at the river.

Pioneers in walking safaris

Nature & Leisure in Africa are pioneers in setting up walking safaris, particularly in Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Mikumi, and Ruaha National Park. Only a handful of companies have been granted permission to enter these parks on foot. The regulations stipulate that an armed and qualified walking guide from the operating company must accompany all walks. An armed ranger from the National Park will also join every walk.
