Africa

Walking Safaris

Why on foot?  An African safari in a 4x4 vehicle is always an exciting concept and a wonderful way to see parts of this beautiful continent, but to travel on foot brings you that much closer to the real Africa and with senses heightened this can be a truly exhilarating experience. The slower you travel, often the more you see!

Having spent many years in Tanzania ourselves, getting to know some of the more remote areas, we are delighted to be able to offer some wonderful opportunities to see some beautiful parts of the country that are rarely visited and often only accessible on foot.

Walks can last from anything between one or two hours from your camp to a full walking safari over several days and supported by a mobile lightweight camp and crew.

In northern Tanzania there are some excellent opportunities for walking in the Tarangire ecosystem and on some of the dormant Rift Valley volcanoes such as Mt. Esimingor. The Crater Highlands are ideal for hiking amongst impressive peaks and crater lakes, dense forests and grassy ridges, streams and waterfalls. Myriad wildlife co-exists with the pastoralist Maasai peoples in this region and one of the most exciting safari experiences is to approach big game on foot with your armed guide - nowhere typifies this experience more than the Loliondo area in the Serengeti ecosystem.

In the Selous Game Reserve in southern Tanzania bush walks with overnight fly camping are expertly conducted from Sand Rivers and the Selous Safari Camp and from Jongomero in Ruaha, whilst the Udzungwa Mountains offer the chance to explore unique cloud forest which is home to several endemic primate and bird species.

We can arrange group trips or tailor-made safaris for you according to your preferences - please contact us for further details.
