In Tanzania, the walking is especially good in the area surrounding Ngorongoro Crater, ranging from self-guided walks around coffee farms to guided forest walks. Experienced walkers can enjoy strenuous but stunning walks up to the crater rim, as offered by Gibb's Farm.
 
If you'd like to combine walking and game viewing, experience Africa's big predators at close range, or track chimpanzee with skilled guides, please see our ideas for walking safaris in Tanzania.

Led by a professional, informative and engaging guide you'll explore parts of the Serengeti free from numerous vehicles. You might spend time seeking out leopard between granite kopjies or patiently waiting to watch wildebeest cross the Mara River. At each location you'll stay in a comfortable tented camp set up privately for you and your travelling companions. - View lodge details
