On
this page we offer some exciting Tanzania Safari activities
that can be incorporated into your safari while others
- usually lasting a day or longer.
This
tours/ trips can be added on at the beginning or end
(or occasionally in the middle) of your safari. Many
of you request some walking or hiking,
and while we believe this is one of the best ways to
explore the wild places in Africa, there are certain
restrictions.
In
some parks in Tanzania, walking is not allowed, while
in other areas, the costs are high. So while we include
short optional walks (from one to four hours) as an
integral part of our safari at some destinations, at
others we suggest them to you here as an extra activity
or as longer add-ons at the beginning or end, or even
in the middle of your safari.
Please
note, also, that hiking is an important part or your
only means of transport in some national parks, Selous,
Gombe, Mahale, Katavi, Rubondo Island and above all
Mt Kilimanjaro. Please note that prices of these activities
are per person.

are several opportunities to meet the various
cultural communities that exist in Africa,
to see their ways of life, to interact/ ask
questions and learn from them. Some are more
authentic than others. Revenue generated from

and into the conservation of the land and
its habitats.

school projects, water supply and mobile medical
clinics. Many traditional African communities
understand that future of the culture, community,
rites, traditions and rituals can only be
preserved if they fully participate and take
charge.
There

spend additional time volunteering after your
Africa safari at the various communities,
helping out in the schools and hospitals.
