Walking Safaris in Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park, Manyara Region, Tanzania. 2 to 4 hours.

Experience Overview

Guided by an armed TANAPA ranger and a professional guide, walking safaris in Tarangire typically take place in the more remote southern reaches of the park or within private concessions on the park's borders. The experience is a sensory journey through the Miombo woodlands and along the banks of the Tarangire River. You will focus on animal tracking, dung identification, and the intricate life of the savannah that is often missed from a vehicle. While the focus is on ecology, the thrill of seeing a giraffe or a herd of zebras from ground level provides a completely different perspective on the wilderness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to walk near elephants?
Yes, safety is the primary focus. Every walk is led by a highly trained, armed ranger who understands elephant behavior and ensures that a respectful and safe distance is always maintained.
Where do the walks start?
Most walking safaris are organized by specific lodges within the park that have walking permits, such as Oliver's Camp, Sanctuary Swala Camp, or Nomad Tanzania - Kuro, Tarangire.
What is the best time for a walking safari?
The dry season (June to October) is excellent as the grass is shorter, making it easier to see wildlife and navigate the terrain.
Can I go walking if I am a day visitor?
Generally, walking safaris must be pre-arranged and are typically offered to guests staying at lodges inside the park. It is difficult to arrange a walk as a spur-of-the-moment day visitor.
