The walk focuses on ecology, birdwatching, and the smaller inhabitants of the park, though you may encounter larger animals like giraffes, impalas, and elephants from a safe distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to walk in a park with predators?
Yes, safety is paramount. Every walk is led by a highly trained, armed park ranger who is an expert in animal behavior. They ensure safe distances are kept and use their knowledge to avoid confrontational encounters.
Where do the walks take place?
Walks are conducted in designated "walking zones" within the park, often near the Rufiji River or around specific bush camps like Beho Beho or Lake Manze Camp.
What is the best time of year for a walking safari?
The dry season (June to October) is ideal. The grass is shorter, which improves visibility, and animals are more concentrated near water sources.
Can I go walking if I am staying outside the park?
Most walking safaris are organized by lodges located within the park for their guests. If you are staying outside, you may need to coordinate with a specific operator who has the permits to conduct walks inside the park boundaries.
