A walking safari is a unique way to experience the African wilderness, designed to fit seamlessly into your safari schedule. These safaris can be scheduled early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the tropical temperatures are cooler. Historically, walking safaris were primarily available in the Selous Game Reserve and a few Wildlife Management Areas, as well as select National Parks like Gombe Stream, Mahale Mountains, Rubondo Island, Udzungwa Mountains, Kitulo, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Arusha (Mount Meru), where they often extended into trekking.
Today, walking safaris have become more accessible. Visitors can now enjoy walking safaris in Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (including Ndutu), and within some designated areas of the Serengeti, which were previously restricted to game drives and balloon safaris.
