Tanzania Walking Safaris

Take advantage of being so close to nature on a walking safari by discovering the tiniest of creatures in Ruaha National Park in the centre of Tanzania. Watch as multicoloured insects emerge from ultra-thin cocoons attached to twisted tree branches, birds splashed with bright hues flit overhead and rusty-red termite mounds come alive with activity. Tanzania walking safaris are the perfect ways for wannabe safari guides to get more out of their safari experience, whether it be just a single day on foot before clambering back aboard a roaring 4x4 or spending the entire adventure under canvas in fly camps, listening to the sound of foraging elephants nearby as you prepare for another day of wandering through the wilderness.

Tanzania walking safaris are the ultimate Original Travel adventures and are guaranteed to be jam-packed with exhilarating wildlife encounters that make your heart sing. Climb to rocky outcrops that rise above the Serengeti in the north and watch as thousands of wildebeest dance and prance across the plains and through rapid rivers as they embark on the Great Migration. For a more hands-on approach to a walking safari, take part in lion footprint casting for the greatest safari souvenir, seek out a prickly porcupine by tracking a trail of abandoned spines or throw yourself into conservation in Selous Game Reserve, one of the largest protected areas in Africa. For a truly original safari, put on your walking boots for a trek to the Ngorongoro Crater – once a gigantic volcano – where you may glimpse the racing stripes of a dazzle of zebras or hear a clan of hyenas cackling in the distance. Feel safe in the knowledge that you will always be accompanied by an expert armed guard who will keep you out of harm’s way.
