Walking towards wonders

Walking Safari

“Look – there! Up ahead – it’s a …”!
Imagine the rush and tightening stomach, as you spot animals in their natural habitat from a vantage point reached purely on foot. We keep you completely safe, but this is the closest you will ever come to your own wild past, alert to nature and the echoes of ancestral hunter-gatherers.

A walking safari offers a different kind of adventure for your holiday. Turn in early the night before, with your boots at the foot of the bed and backpack checklist at the ready. Early morning wake-up is served with a cup of hot coffee and a spoonful of excitement for the day ahead.

A walking safari is one of the top things to do in Africa. It allows you to soak up the sounds, smells, and colors of the bush in a way that a game drive does not. No more roar of the engine to drown out the sound of the wind shaking the canopies overhead or the hoof thump from a territorial male impala. A secret language of signals shared between you and your guide, as he gestures the way across the openings and navigates through thickets and woodlands, teaches you the wonders of communication in the wild.

Indulge yourself

ACTIVITIES

One of the many advantages of being located in the heart of the Serengeti is being able to run nature walks within the Area.
On a guided walk, you are free to stop and inspect tracks left behind by a male lion as he makes his way back to his pride or scuff marks left by a dove having momentarily enjoyed a dust bath. Your guide may lead you to closer encounters with elephants taking a snooze or drinking at a watering hole, or on a challenging trek to a kopje’s peak to discover what lies beyond it.

These are not chargeable -but for anyone wanting something even more memorable, for $50 USD per person, an armed Tanapa ranger will accompany you, your ranger, and spotter on a walking safari at a Tanapa designated area, along the banks of the Mara river.

Your ranger and local Kuria tribesman come along to spot and interpret the animals’ tracks left from the night before and identify the flora and fauna, explaining for example which are used for medicinal purposes by his tribe. All you need is a pair of good walking shoes and a sense of adventure!
