Walking safaris

Ruaha is one of the last great wildlife areas of Africa and we love to be here in dry season. Believe it or not, Ruaha is 50% bigger than the Serengeti National Park, yet with only a percentage of visitors in comparison, makes Ruaha a standout option for walking safaris. This is a secret Africa that is properly wild and we guarantee spending a few nights off-grid in our humble little camp will certainly bring out the explorer in you.

Ugalla is new territory for us and most others as well, this lesser known park in western Tanzania is inly recently finding its way on to the safari radar. As a result, we find ourselves in a beautiful untouched part of the world. The Ugalla River provides a lovely setting for long walks and lazy lunches under a shady tree, a rare opportunity to slow down, stop and stare.

Our expeditionary walking camp pitches in the Serengeti from November onwards as the landscape transform from the dry season with the time of new arriving - everything turns a gorgeous shade of green. The camp actually moves around the southern end of the Serengeti during this period to land guests in the best walking territory. From November to April, we head for the eastern side and Gol Mountains, stunning scenery surrounds you with varied terrain to explore and panoramic views west across the vast plains. In May, the camp heads west to the opposite side of the park standing in the best position as the migration begin to make their way north. Walking in this area is wonderful with superb game and interesting topography to scale kopjes and hills alike.
