◆ TWO WAYS TO EXPERIENCE TANZANIA

Walk. Fly. Discover.

Walking Safaris

Step out of the vehicle and into the landscape. Guided on foot by armed rangers and expert trackers, walking safaris slow everything down — the smell of the bush, fresh tracks in the sand, birdsong instead of an engine. It's Tanzania at its most immediate.

Fly-In Safaris

Skip the long drives and land where the wildlife is. Private and scheduled light-aircraft transfers connect remote parks, exclusive camps and the coast in minutes instead of hours, so more of your trip is spent experiencing Tanzania and less of it in transit.

We didn't just see the Serengeti — we felt it. Walking the first morning, then flying into the Mara for the crossing, was the best decision we made on the whole trip.

Find Your Way Through Tanzania

01

Walking Safari

For travellers who want to feel the bush beneath their feet — guided walks through the Northern and Southern Circuits, from short introductory trails to multi-day walking expeditions.

02

Fly-In Safari

For travellers short on time but not on ambition — private air transfers linking Tanzania's most remote parks, camps and coastlines into one seamless itinerary.

03

Walking + Fly-In

The best of both — walk the landscapes that reward a slower pace, then fly to the places worth the extra distance.

Example: Arusha → Arusha National Park (Walking) → Serengeti → Zanzibar

◆ ON FOOT

Why Walking Changes the Safari

✓

You notice everything — tracks, dung, insects, birdsong — the details a vehicle drives past.

✓

Guided by rangers trained to read the bush and keep you genuinely safe on foot.

✓

A different kind of adrenaline — proximity without a windshield between you and the wild.

◆ FROM THE AIR

Why Fly-In

✓

Reach camps and ecosystems a road safari simply can't get to in the same trip.

✓

Turn a full day of driving into a 45-minute flight over the Serengeti.

✓

More time on the ground at each camp, less time in transit between them.

◆ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a walking safari and a fly-in safari?

A walking safari means guided game walks on foot; a fly-in safari means private air transfers between camps instead of long road drives. Many journeys combine both.

Is walking safely possible in Tanzania?

Yes — walking safaris are led by licensed, armed rangers trained specifically for guiding walking guests safely through wildlife areas.

Do I need prior experience to join a walking safari?

No. Walks are paced to the group, from gentle introductory trails to longer, more demanding routes for experienced walkers.

How do fly-in transfers work?

Small private aircraft connect safari airstrips directly, replacing multi-hour road transfers with short scheduled or chartered flights.

Can children join walking or fly-in safaris?

Walking safaris typically have a minimum age for safety reasons; fly-in safaris are suitable for most ages. We'll confirm what's appropriate when planning your trip.

Can you create a private itinerary?

Yes — every Yera Journeys safari, walking or fly-in, is privately arranged around your dates, pace and interests — at no extra cost to you.

How many days should I plan for a walking or fly-in safari?

From 2 days for a short walking introduction near Arusha, up to 14+ days combining multiple circuits, walking and the coast.
