Walking Safaris
Walking safaris are the oldest form of travel and are more traditional than other modes. Please consider the health benefits it brings to our bodies and how proximity to nature enriches our souls with amusement.
Walking safaris are the most natural way to experience Africa’s pristine wilderness and can be as strenuous or as relaxing as you prefer. Most camps, lodges, and hotels offer walking safaris in the surrounding area.
Walking allows you to get closer to the game and experience the wildlife in a more natural setting.
Trekking and tracking walks are also fascinating, and walking with the Masai or the Datoga/Hadzabe bushmen, who have walked the land for centuries, is magical.
Here are some of our walking safari suggestions:
Walk with the Maasai in Lake Natron and around Lake Manyara National Park. Walking with these authentic tribesmen, who are warm and welcoming to guests, is an incredible experience.
Millions of years of tracking data allow them to determine an animal’s size, speed, pregnancy status, and more.
Walk with the young Bushmen on an initiation ritual. There are many options, but this should not be missed on any trip to Tanzania.
Walk with the Maasai people
This is a truly magical experience, similar to the Bushmen. This tribe is one of the oldest surviving bushpeople in the world. Walk with them and learn more about their culture.
These are typical pastoral societies living in the heart of Tanzania’s wild. From the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater, the Maasai have been traveling and spreading accross the country in search of water and shelter for their hundreds of cattle.
A short walk on Mount Kilimanjaro
Strenuous outwalks from the Machame, Lemosho, or Marangu gates offer fantastic sights, including exposure to the rain forest, encounters with summit climbers, and experiences of the mountain’s different climatic zones.
Mount Kilimanjaro is ideal for walking, and as you ascend through the trails with your guide, you will discover more about climbing Kilimanjaro.
