A walking safari is an immersive way to experience Tanzania’s wilderness on foot, allowing you to observe nature, animal tracks, birds, plants, and landscapes from a much closer perspective than a traditional vehicle safari. In Tanzania, walking safaris are conducted on designated trails with professional guides and armed park rangers for safety.
For a short walking safari, Arusha National Park is an excellent choice. The park is close to Arusha and offers diverse landscapes around Mount Meru, including montane forests, grasslands, crater areas and the Momella Lakes.
One of the key benefits of staying in the heart of the Serengeti National Park is the opportunity to enjoy guided nature walks right within the camp grounds.
These walks are complimentary, but for those seeking a more immersive experience, a walking safari can be arranged at a TANAPA-designated area along the Mara River for $80 USD per person. On this adventure, an armed TANAPA Ranger will accompany you alongside your guide and spotter, ensuring both safety and an unforgettable close-up encounter with the Serengeti’s wilderness.
