Guided Walking Tanzania Safaris

TANAPA (Tanzanian National Park Authorities) has severe guidelines for walking in the National Parks to ensure safe Tanzania Walking Safaris, whereby only 6 guests are allowed, beyond which are not.  At least one TANAPA-qualified armed ranger will be assigned, who must follow particular walking paths. These laws are new to Tanzania’s national parks, thus we only encourage walking from camps with a track record of good walking safaris and reliable guides.

The Game Division (a less strict body) runs Tanzania’s Game Reserves, which has resulted in differing walking safari standards. Walking safaris are hit-or-miss depending on the guide’s competence and knowledge. All of our suggested camps have well qualified guides who follow camp rules for excellent walking safaris. We recommend that you Incorporate some walking into your Tanzania safari, by first speaking to our experienced  safari experts as camp experiences differ greatly.

Walking Safaris in Nyerere National Park Tanzania

Guided Walking Safaris In Tanzania

The southern park of the Selous Game Reserve is the primary location to think about for a Tanzania walking Safari. The rules are a little different than in more well-known parks like the Serengeti because it is a Reserve rather than a National Park, but there is still plenty to keep you occupied for up to a week because of the wide variety of ecosystems and topographies that the park has.

Walking Safaris in Ruaha National Park Tanzania

Ruaha National Park stands as a stark contrast to the expansive grasslands and dense baobab woods of the Selous Game Reserve, situated to the west of the latter. It may not have the various climbs, but it is still a wonderful area for a Tanzania Walking Safari hike, and there is excellent guiding available at camps like Mwagusi.

Walking Safaris In The Northern Safari Parks

The Tanzanian Parks Authorities have realized the potential of permitting walking safaris, and as a result, walking now takes place in parks like Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and several of the Serengeti’s periphery concessions. Even while it might not permit days of trekking, excellent game viewing and excellent guiding can still enhance the whole experience.
