Today’s typical African safari tours as enjoyed from the back of a game-viewing vehicle are an unforgettable visual experience not to be missed. Safari vehicles can cover vast distances in response to game sightings and as most wild animals are accustomed to the sight of vehicles, one is able to approach them closely, affording excellent opportunities for wildlife photography.
However, a vehicle safari on its own lacks the one vital element that made yesterday’s ‘true’ Tanzania safari tours legendary, namely the unrivalled sensual experience of exploring the wilderness on foot in the timeless tradition of the early African adventurers – the original, classic African walking safari.
With Jolita Safari not only will you get to SEE Africa’s magnificent landscapes and wildlife in all its natural glory from the comfort of a safari vehicle on afternoon game drives, you’ll also get to hear, smell, feel, taste and intimately sense what our earliest ancestors and later explorers experienced travelling on foot through these same wild places on our morning walks.
“Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations which every traveller of feeling will experience”
We offer excellent options in Tanzania in Arusha National Park , Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater area and in the special walking zones in Serengeti National Park to discover wildlife areas through a walking safari. Experience how you can get close to elephants, buffalos, but also lions and wild dogs in the middle of nature. Realize that there are more animal eyes on you than you see animal eyes. You live in the middle of nature.
African safari tours combined with walking safaris and wilderness trails with Jolita Safari are a deeply spiritual journey that will forever change the way you view nature and how the ‘true’ African safari tour should be experienced.
Please note:
Our walking safari is somewhat different from, for example, a walking activity that is offered at various accommodations in various safari countries. There it is more about so-called “bush walks” where it is less about wildlife encounters, but about introducing you to what else the bush has to offer and what often escapes us during a regular game drive. We can provide you with excellent advice from our own experiences in making the right choice.
