You will feel Africa beneath your feet on this quintessential walking safari as we traverse across northern Tanzania through premier game parks and wildlife concessions. We stay in the only luxury camp in parks with permission to go on bush walks inside the national park. Followed by a flight into a remote bush camp located on a private concession in the vast plains of the Serengeti ecosystem where we track game under the guidance of an expert ranger and naturalist guide. Depending on the season and location of the great migration, camp is set at the best vantage point to observe the spectacle of wildebeest and zebra herds and the predators that track them. We witness the rhythms of the bush and the constant struggle of survival on night drives outside the parks and enjoy personal encounters with native people, walking with Maasai warriors and visiting indigenous artisan workshops and markets.
