Introducing walking safaris at Mila Tented Camp, by Legendary Expeditions.
Nothing compares to the true feeling of freedom that comes with exploring the wilderness on foot. It's the invigoration of an unscripted adventure. The anticipation, excitement, and thrill of close encounters. It's the opportunity for guests to enjoy a more active safari experience and truly engage the senses.
The guided walks, which are included in the cost of guest stay, explore several scenic routes, seek out some of the region's most spectacular vantage points, and offer incredible insight into local plants and wildlife.
We kindly request that guests notify us in advance, allowing our dedicated operations team to plan an exceptional walking experience tailored to your guests desires. To take full advantage of all the safari experiences included in the rate - game drives, bush picnics and walking safaris - we recommend a minimum stay of 3 nights.
Engage the senses as you experience the sights, smells, and sounds of the Serengeti up close. Each walk is tailored to your needs, ensuring a unique and unpredictable experience — and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
MOJA (2-2.5hrs, 5.5-6 km)
This route offers panoramic vistas over the Serengeti as you summit a hill to the west of the Grumeti River bridge. An outstanding vantage point, the hill is perfectly positioned to survey the game-filled plains to the north and the meandering Grumeti River, with its pods of hippos and sun-baking crocodiles, to the south. Trace game trails along the hill, soak up the scenery and enjoy a coffee break or sundowner stop along the way.
TATU (2-2.5hrs, 5.5-6 km)
This scenic route summits a string of 3 gentle hills to the west of the camp. Experience the region’s diverse terrain and topography firsthand as you ascend and descend the hills — stopping to soak up the unobstructed views of the sweeping plains and wooded valleys that lie beyond. Stop for a coffee or sundowner break as you enjoy the backdrop of games scattered across the open plains.
MBILI (2-2.5hrs, 5.5-6 km)
This route, which navigates a low ridge and woodland area to the east of the camp, showcases the difference in ecology between the short grass plains and the thickets that fringe them. Explore wooded areas not accessible by vehicles and skirt along the edge of the plains, surveying the vast herds as they roam the landscape. Take a moment to stop for coffee or sundowners along the way.
NNE (3.5/4hr walk, 8-10 km)
Our longest route dials up the adventure by taking you into uncharted territory between the Grumeti and Mbalageti rivers. Far from the nearest roads and camps, this remote route offers a glimpse of the true wild, where animals roam undisturbed by crowds of tourists. Summit rolling hills, enjoy the views of the surrounding landscape and stop for coffee or sundowners along the way.
