For
most people, the word safari conjures up the image
of driving all day to look at wild animals in the
African savannah. Although this way of visiting Tanzania
is great fun, we think it's even better to be able
to walk around in the bush and get a feel for the
fauna and flora without having to listen to a motor
half the time.
On our trekking safaris,
we spend part of the time inside a vehicle because
we have no choice in the
matter. It would be very unproductive, for example,
to walk from Arusha to the Serengeti. Also, it is
illegal to walk in some areas, such as inside the
Ngorongoro Crater. However, in our programs, we include
walks on the periphery of National Parks as well
as
around several lakes, canoeing, climbing lesser-known
craters and interacting with fascinating Tanzanian
tribes, such as the Bushmen, the Tatoga and,
of course,
the Maasai.
Accommodation is medium camping. What do we mean
by medium camping? We supply the tent, mattress and
pillow, you bring your sleeping bag and your sense
of adventure because you won't find hot showers or
electricity at the campsites. We use kerosene lamps
and we cook on charcoal. That said, the cook and his
aides pitch the tents, cook our food and make sure
we are comfortable. This might not be luxury camping
but we'll be having a great time.
Take a look at what we have to offer:
5-day
Northern Circuit Overview
6-day Ngorongoro Highlands
Trekking
10-day Northern Circuit
Discovery
12-day Northern Circuit
Exploration
17-day Paka Shume
Challenge
Our Paka Shume Challenge
is so named because we believe that no one else
offers such
a diverse combination of game driving, mountain climbing,
trekking, canoeing, camping and cultural tourism
in
and outside the National Parks of the Northern Circuit
in one single trip. We've put a lot of attention
to
details to come up with the best combination for
this special program.
