Trekking in Tanzania  
       
 

For those interested in making a more personal contact with the environment and surrounding cultures, we strongly suggest signing up for one of our trekking tours. We have put a lot of consideration into designing our treks in a way that allow our travelers to experience the wilderness and beauty of Tanzania without compromising on safety, comfort and authenticity.

Our treks take you right into the heartland of Maasai country, surrounding and intertwining our trekkers with the hum-drum of everyday Maasai life, yet consciously taking care not to disrupt these natural rhythms. We have Maasai guides who serve not only as expert guides but they also help unravel and explain the mysteries and intricacies of the natural world in which they co-exist harmoniously with wildlife. For the trekker who is curious at heart, appreciative of the natural beauty and order of things, and desires a more anthropological understanding of life, these treks can be an eye opening and exhilarating experience.

     
 
 
   
       
     
 

Typically our treks last for about six hours a day and can be physically endured by the average person. At the end of each trek, travelers settle down to a well prepared and hearty meal at camps that have been prepared well in advance by our experienced crew of camp chefs and porters. Trekking with Auram Safari's is aimed at being comfortable, adventurous, a learning experience, and ultimately fun.


Our Maasai guides have been with us for many years, and interpret the natural world, inviting you into the lives of their people. They know the terrain well and are conscious of the need to preserve both the culture of their own people, as well as the wilderness that surrounds them.


The daily treks are on average about 5 to 6 hours - typically trekking in the cooler morning hours. Our camp crew goes ahead to find an ideal place for the camp, so by the time you arrive, camp is set up and a delicious meal is ready. We use small supply vehicles to carry the camps, or donkeys for porterage thus keeping our approach as low impact as possible. While we try to keep things simple, you will be amazed at the level of comfort we provide, with hearty, healthy meals and friendly, helpful staff.
