Walking Safaris are one of the major services being offered by East African Voyage Company Ltd. It is particularly important, however, that your itinerary be designed around the season and weather conditions. The culturally based walks in particular are more seasonal. For this reason, we have designed different main itineraries to suit this.

During the raining season we go out on the short grass plains of the Serengeti ecosystem which are lush green and full of wildlife. During the dry season the plains are dry, dusty and empty of wildlife, so we go higher on Ngorongoro highlands. The highlands capture the moisture and usually have resident populations of wildlife. If conditions are between wet and dry, we use both habitats. All these initiatives are to give you adventure.

Walks in the Serengeti National Park are less impacted by the seasons. We have explored extensively within the park and discovered many of the secret springs the animals use to survive the dry season. This means that there is year round wildlife in these areas.

If you book one of our culturally based trips far in advance we can approximate what your itinerary will be based on the season. However, if the rains do not arrive or if they unexpectedly come, we may want to shift your itinerary to get you to the best possible area for your trip. If you are uncomfortable with this type of last minute change, we can recommend certain itineraries and times of year that are most reliable.
