Walking Safaris
Bush walks are a great way to get close to nature and learn more about the smaller species and the more intricate details of the bush, from tiny insects to towering trees, as well as stretch your legs. Although you may spot some giraffes, or warthog, or walk in the footsteps of elephants, our bush walks are tailored to give you the opportunity to learn about the things you miss from a vehicle or boat. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the plants, birds, and smaller animals that often go unnoticed during traditional game drives, and you’ll learn to identify animal tracks and signs.
Bush Walk
$55 per person + Park Fees
Departs camp at 6.30am - Inside the park boundary
Walks are slow-paced, accompanied by both an armed ranger and our expert guide and are around 2-3 hours long. Leaving camp after a cup of tea or coffee, your guide will drive you the short distance to the entrance of Nyerere National Park, where you pick up your armed ranger before starting your walk from the gate.
Your guide and armed ranger will lead you through the bush alongside the airstrip, not too far from the gate itself. As you walk along, you may spot the tracks of various animals left overnight, come across insects such as colourful butterflies, or an industrious dung beetle rolling a dung ball, you will learn about various medicinal plants and their traditional uses, and discover trees such as the crocodile bark tree, whistling thorn acacia, sausage tree, and the iconic baobab tree, or perhaps stop to quietly watch giraffes browsing from a tree in the distance.
Please note groups cannot be larger than 6 people. We do not recommend the walk to children under 12. The camp management, guide or ranger accompanying the walking safari have the right to stop a child from participating if they feel it is in the best interests of the safety of the individual or group.
