WALKING SAFARI
A walking safari in Tanzania is the most intimate way to experience the African wilderness. Leave the 4×4 behind and explore the bush at ground level, where every footprint, scent, bird call and rustle in the grass comes alive.
Until a few years ago, guided walking safaris were limited to southern parks and mountain areas. Today, thanks to new Tanzania National Parks regulations, you can now enjoy walking safaris in Serengeti National Park, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Conservation Area (including Ndutu), Lake Manyara, Arusha National Park and the classic southern reserves — all with Leopard Tours.
What to Expect on Your Guided Walking Safari
Every walk is led by an experienced Leopard Tours driver-guide + armed national park ranger for maximum safety and insight.
- Small private groups (max 6 guests)
- Coolest hours: 6:00–9:30 am or 4:00–6:30 pm
- Learn to read tracks, identify plants with medicinal uses, study dung beetles, listen to the “small five” and understand the ecosystem from the ground up
- Thrilling (but safe) encounters with elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and — if you’re lucky — big cats at a respectful distance
