Walking Safari: A Different Perspective

While game drives are famous for discovering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a walking safari offers a unique and friendly way to connect with nature. Visualize crossing the vast plains on foot, guided by a skillful Maasai tracker.

As you soundlessly tread along ancient wildlife paths, you'll have the chance to observe animals up close and marvel at the tricky details of the ecosystem.

A walking safari allows you to appreciate the more miniature wonders of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, from the brilliant plumage of a bird to the delicate tracks left by a passing antelope.

It provides a slower pace, allowing you to savor every moment and witness the interconnectedness of all living creatures. And with the Maasai by your side, you'll gain insights into their old-style hunting and gathering techniques and their deep understanding of the land.
