Mark Thornton Safaris

Mark Thornton Safaris are specialists in privately guided walking, camping, wildlife and trekking safaris in the remote wilderness of Tanzania. With our own private wilderness mobile camp set up for us each day, we walk the old fashioned way on foot often encountering elephant, lion, buffalo, cheetah, leopard, and the great Serengeti wildebeest migration. We believe that our Tarangire, Loliondo, Maasai Steppe, Ruaha, Selous and Serengeti walking safaris and treks are among the most authentic and adventurous in Africa. Our professional guides who work exclusively for Mark Thornton Safaris comprise a small team of recognized leaders in the safari field, professionally and rigorously trained to safely conduct walking safaris in areas of big game. We have exclusive rights to some areas and agreements with national parks for others such as our Serengeti National Park walking safari and have been rated the number one outfitter in Africa and the world by National Geographic Adventure in 2008 and 2009.
