Walking Safari in Tanzania

This dry season Tanzania Walking Safari includes time in the best locations in national parks, private reserves and conservation areas. They offer a range of experiences such as full day walking safaris, game drives, night drives and cultural hikes.

The Northern Serengeti is one of best walking safari destinations, primarily because the plains are vast and wild. And we select camps that are located in quieter tourism sectors, but close to large densities of game. During the dry season, guests may even catch a river crossing during the Great Migration.

This trip includes walks wherever possible, but undoubtedly the highlight of the trip for keen walkers and hikers is a full day hike on the Ngorongoro crater rim and the inevitable, informal interactions with resident Maasai villagers.
