Moun­tain Mad­ness is one of only three com­pa­nies spe­cial­ly select­ed by Nation­al Parks to oper­ate mul­ti day walk­ing Safaris inside the Serengeti Nation­al Park. This is a great cred­it to our amaz­ing crew and inspi­ra­tional walk­ing guides mak­ing each and every walk unique and spe­cial and has led to these awards:

Back when the park was cre­at­ed in the 50’s almost a third of the area was set aside as ​‘wilder­ness zones’ …these were a reserve with­in a reserve and had vir­tu­al­ly no human pres­ence for more than half a century.

We now oper­ate our walk­ing safaris in this pris­tine wilder­ness, vast tracts of land to explore from kop­jes to plains, from gorges to glades the area teems with wildlife big and small. One of the key things about walk­ing with us in the Serengeti is the absolute soli­tude and exclu­siv­i­ty …. You effec­tive­ly have a ​‘pri­vate Serengeti’ expe­ri­ence and won’t see anoth­er soul for the dura­tion of the walk.

But it wasn’t just our walk­ing safari team that were hon­ored … our sea­son­al camps at Ngoron­goro, in Arusha Nation­al Park and in the Serengeti NP were also ​‘High­ly Commended’.

These lux­u­ry camps real­ly are the per­fect spot to relax – small enough to be inti­mate, placed in incred­i­ble loca­tions and designed to be super com­fort­able AND they have mouth­wa­ter­ing food!
