From walking with Maasai guides on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater to tracking chimpanzees in the forests of the Mahale Mountains, Tanzania offers some of the most exceptional walking safari experiences in Africa. These immersive adventures allow you to step away from the vehicle, connect deeply with the land, and discover wildlife and landscapes in their most natural form. Whether it’s fly-camping in the Selous or Ruaha, guided walks in Tarangire where elephant encounters are possible, or trekking through pristine forests for chimpanzee tracking in Mahale, walking safaris bring you closer to nature than ever before.

Tanzania’s wild areas are managed under different classifications, which means walking safari rules can vary. In the National Parks, TANAPA regulations ensure safety by limiting walks to six guests, accompanied by an armed ranger and experienced walking guide. In Game Reserves, where rules are more flexible, we only partner with camps that uphold strict safety standards and provide highly skilled guiding. This guarantees not just adventure, but peace of mind.

So whether you’re stretching your legs after a long game drive, learning about medicinal plants with a Maasai guide, or approaching wildlife quietly on foot, a walking safari in Tanzania is an unforgettable way to experience the wild—authentic, adventurous, and truly one of a kind.
