Walking Safaris in Tanzania

We have in our ranks, some of Tanzania’s best walking safari guides, who’ve led trips through most of the walking hot spots in Tanzania, including the Selous, Ruaha, Mahale and Katavi as well as being amongst the early pioneers of longer walking safaris in the Ngorongoro Highlands and the Gol Mountains in the north.
