A walking safari in Tanzania through the African bush is a wonderful way to experience Africa intimately. Smells and sounds become distinct and varied, and smaller creatures gain significance. They are no longer simply rushed past in the race for the bigger game. When larger animals do appear, they are met at eye level; the land is truly shared between humans and animals. Safety is not an issue all walks are accompanied by armed, experienced guides and game rangers.
The best time for walking safari in Tanzania is during the dry season where grass are short which enable you to spot animal easily while at safe distance.
There are no words to describe the feeling of tracking a fresh set of lion prints or having an old elephant bull walk up to investigate you… or walking along with a few giraffe looking at you…
Canoeing Tanzania
Canoeing trips are available in the Arusha National Park and are a wonderful experience, drifting past herds of elephant, giraffe, hippo and buffalo as you cruise along the shores of the lake surrounded by countless flocks of birds. Canoes are also available for rental throughout Zanzibar, which provide a perfect opportunity to enjoy the rare birds of Zanzibar’s many mangrove forests.
Horse Riding Tanzania
Galloping alongside a herd of zebra or wildebeest as they race across the open plains is a life long dream for many riders the world over. Horse riding in Tanzania offers the chance to make the dream a reality with well- bred, well- schooled horses, professional equipment and the luxury of miles and miles of country side to ride in.
Day rides are available from a few camps in Tanzania, for all levels of riders. Game animals are not afraid of horses in the same way that they are of cars or pedestrians, allowing visitors to approach the wildlife much more closely than usual.
Night Game Drives
The bush is a completely different world at night which is what makes night drives so special. Manyara National Park is currently the only national park that allows this activity, an exciting once in a lifetime experience. At night animals behave quite differently than during the day, and you never know who you might encounter on a night out.
This is the exclusive domain of hunters such as lions and leopards, and the only time when you may catch a glimpse of such elusive nocturnal creatures as aardvarks, cape hares and bush babies,a unique experience well worth the time.
