6-Day Walking & Bush Safari
Step out of the vehicle. A walking safari through Tarangire, Manyara, and the Ngorongoro Highlands.
TOUR OVERVIEW
Most safaris are spent in a 4x4. This one is different. Six days, with three days on foot - walking through Tarangire's baobab-studded landscapes, along the shores of Lake Manyara, and into the forests of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Always with an armed ranger, always with an expert guide. Game drives on the remaining days to round out the experience.
Step out of the vehicle. Walking safaris are the most intimate way to experience the African bush - and the most rewarding.
