Legacy Exchange Outfitters walking safari is the most authentic version of safari. It leaves the roads behind and takes you on paths less traveled and close to the nature
Walking safari is an adventurous activity where guests embark on slow-paced, guided walks with the primary objective to explore different wildlife species along with the bush. The small details that are overlooked on game drives become more apparent from the slower pace and lower angle of being on foot.
Our Walking safaris enable you to encounter things you might miss from a safari vehicle. Instead of rushing from one animal sighting to another, you examine footprints on the ground and track them. Our naturalist guides will teach you how to identify the animals by their droppings as you listen to the melodic chirps of birds, and watch a beetle roll the dung.
Walking safaris are not only for the ultimate hiker, but depending on your fitness, your guide can choose the best-suited terrain for you to enjoy. Travelers up for the challenge can take the rocky uphill paths or for those who simply wish to stretch out their limbs, enjoy a slower-paced walk with a few stops to admire the trees and the birds. Whatever your walking interest, then each Legacy experience is tailor made just for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Walking Safari
A walking safari involves exploring the African bush on foot, accompanied by an experienced armed guide. It provides a more intimate connection with nature, allowing you to observe wildlife up close and learn about the delicate ecosystem.
Safety is the main concern on walking safaris. Experienced guides are trained to identify potential risks and ensure the safety of participants. Armed guards accompany groups for added security. However, it’s essential to follow the guide’s instructions and maintain a respectful distance from wildlife.
Several national parks in Tanzania offer walking safaris. Tarangire National Park is particularly popular due to its diverse wildlife and open landscapes. Other options include Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, although walking safaris are more restricted in these areas.
The dry season (June to October) is generally considered the best time for walking safaris. The vegetation is less dense, improving visibility and wildlife sightings. However, some parks offer walking safaris year-round.
Walking safaris offer a unique opportunity to observe wildlife behaviour up close. You might encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. Additionally, you’ll have a chance to spot smaller animals, birds, and insects that are often overlooked from a vehicle.
Comfortable walking shoes, lightweight clothing, sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent are essential. Binoculars are also helpful for observing wildlife. It’s advisable to pack layers as mornings and evenings can be cooler.
