Trekking safari in the wilderness

Trekking safari in the wilderness

about the package

Experience a unique walking tour in the Tanzanian wilderness. The area is completely untouched and the only people you will encounter are the Maasai.Discovering the savannah on foot is very exciting. This is suitable for those who are real adventurers and have a relatively good physical condition. Each day you will walk about 15-20 km and you will stay in different places each night. However, the pace is comfortable and you walk at about 2 - 2.5 km/h.

It is likely to be hot and dusty, but there is much to see on the way and you will make many short stops. You will start the day and have breakfast just before sunrise. With lunch packed, you'll head off into the wilderness; dinner will be prepared by your cook when you arrive at your camp for the night. By then, your tents will also already be pitched. We will bring a chemical toilet and shower for you to use.

You will have with you an armed ranger, a person who will arrange the camp for the night, a walking guide and a cook. You will only need to carry a small backpack. We have a professional team where your safety is our top priority. You will be driven to the starting point and will stay the first and last night at Amin iMasai Lodge which is a nice lodge where you can recharge for the tour as well as rest upper after your tour. This is not a trip for those looking for luxury, but if you are looking for adventure and an experience that few others have had, this is the perfect tour for you.

"It was an adventurous trip where we really got to experience Tanzania's wilderness. We didn't encounter any tourists at all. Long way to go, but it was worth it every time. Would recommend anyone who is a bit adventurous to give it a go. Memory for life"

experience
"the big five"

lion

LION

The lion is the only feline that lives and hunts in packs. In the pride, it is mainly the female lions that hunt and the males that defend the pride and its territory. Their roar is powerful and can be heard from 5 miles away. Usually the pride consists of a majority of females. They raise their cubs together and the cubs can be fed breast milk by any of the females. A lion can eat up to 40-50 kg of meat at a time, the equivalent of about 400 hamburgers.

buffalo

Buffalo

The buffalo is one of Africa's most dangerous animals and is known by many as "the black death". They can sometimes even kill lions. They have poor eyesight, but an exceptionally good sense of smell. A buffalo can be unpredictable, especially when alone and injured. It is said that they never forget or forgive and on many occasions they have attacked hunters who have previously tried to kill them. This has made the buffalo the animal that kills the most hunters. This behaviour and the fact that they have sharp horns means that they have not been successfully tamed.

elephant

Elephant

The elephant is the world's largest land animal and also one of the world's most intelligent animals. It can weigh up to 6 tonnes, heavier than a car. Elephants are emotional and can both cry and laugh. They can talk to each other from a few miles away by stamping on the ground and can even smell water up to 2 miles away. With its trunk, an elephant can pick up a single blade of grass, but it can also lift an entire tree. An elephant is pregnant for almost 2 years.

rhinos

rhinos

The rhino has been around for an unlikely 60 million years. There used to be 30 species of rhinos, but there are only 5 left. You might not believe it, but the rhino is a fast animal. However, they are poor swimmers and they have small eyes and very poor eyesight. Fortunately, they have no natural enemies on the savannah. But many poachers want their horns. The horn is made of heavily twisted hair and is used for defence, but also for digging. If a horn breaks off, it grows back.

leopard

leopard

Leopards are agile and fast and are not social animals, usually living alone. During the day they often rest on a branch in a tree and at night or dawn they hunt. Their vision in the dark is seven times better than a human's. They kill their prey in lightning-fast attacks. Leopards are very strong and to prevent lions and hyenas from stealing their prey, they drag their prey up a tree. Their catch can be anything from a baboon to an antelope.
