Walking Safaris offer a thrilling and intimate way to explore the African bush on foot, guided by experienced rangers and armed scouts. Unlike traditional game drives, walking safaris allow travelers to closely observe animal tracks, learn about plants and insects, and discover the small wonders of the ecosystem that are often missed from a vehicle. It’s a truly immersive experience that awakens all the senses and brings a deeper understanding of nature’s delicate balance.
One of the best places to enjoy a walking safari in Tanzania is Selous Game Reserve (now part of Nyerere National Park), located in southern Tanzania. Known for its remote and pristine wilderness, Selous offers excellent opportunities for safe, guided walking safaris in areas teeming with wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, and even predators at a safe distance.
