Key Features of Walking Safaris

Our walking safaris are designed to enhance your experience by offering up-close encounters with Tanzania’s rich wildlife while ensuring your comfort and safety. Here’s what you can expect:

• Best Time for Walking Safaris: To make the most of your experience, walking safaris are conducted during the cooler parts of the day—early mornings from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and late afternoons from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. These times provide the best chances for wildlife sightings as animals are most active.
• Distance: Our walking safaris cover 5 to 10 kilometers (3-6 miles) per day, depending on your fitness level and the specific itinerary. Each walk is carefully planned to ensure it matches the preferences and abilities of all participants.

How to Prepare for Your Walking Safari

To ensure you have a comfortable and memorable experience, we recommend the following:

• Dress Appropriately: Wear neutral-colored clothing to blend in with your surroundings. Long sleeves and trousers are ideal to protect against the sun and insects.
• Comfortable Footwear: Sturdy, well-broken-in hiking boots with ankle support are essential to avoid discomfort or injury during your safari.
• Stay Hydrated: Carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the walk.
• Sun Protection: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen, wear a hat, and use sunglasses to shield yourself from the sun’s rays.
• Pack Light: Bring essential items such as water, a camera, binoculars, and a small backpack. Keeping your load light will make the walk more enjoyable.
• Follow Your Guide’s Lead: Our experienced guides are here to keep you safe and enhance your understanding of Tanzania’s unique ecosystems. Always follow their instructions for an enriching experience.

Essential Walking Safari Etiquette

For your safety and to ensure a smooth experience, follow these key guidelines:

• Stay with the Group: Always stay close to your guide and the group to avoid getting lost or disturbing wildlife.
• Minimize Noise: Keep noise levels low to avoid startling animals and to maintain the tranquility of the environment.
• Respect Wildlife: Observe animals from a safe distance. Approaching them too closely can be dangerous for both you and the wildlife.
• Avoid Sudden Movements: Sudden movements may provoke wildlife, so be mindful of your actions.
