Serengeti Walking Safari

Serengeti National Park was established in the early 1950s. Since that time there has been no walking anywhere in the park. The park has 3 large wilderness areas that allow no vehicle travel either. After many years of struggle with the National Park service we have finally opened up these wilderness areas to a limited number of walking safaris. Mountain Madness is one of the very few who are able to offer this great new adventure.

You will be in very good hands with our walking safari guides who have been training for years in preparation for running these safaris. They have done firearm training with police and military personnel, professional hunters in Tanzania as well as walking safari experts from Southern Africa.

Being out of the vehicles in this vast savanna and acacia woodland gives you a unique opportunity to explore the details of this ecosystem. Animal tracks, bones, birds, antelope both small and large can be observed at length. Nothing will go undiscovered in your path. You can hike to the top of the large rock outcrops called “kopjes” where you can observe the plains below and plan the next section of your walk toward camp for the night.

This area is very remote and pristine so we are taking the preservation of this wilderness very seriously. We have been given permission to transport a camp into this area but feel a lightweight, but comfortable camp is very critical to diminish any impact a heavy vehicle might have on the area. Are sleeping tents are dome style, 6 foot tall and both bug and rain proof. The toilets and showers are in carefully designed tents but not attached to the sleeping tents. One toilet and one shower are shared between two sleeping tents.
