If you're looking for proper immersive walking safaris then in our view there are two areas to begin by looking at in Tanzania. 

The first is Ruaha National Park in Southern Tanzania - this beautiful park comes into its own between June and October and during this time offers game viewing that rivals pretty much anywhere in Africa. Head off on a multi-day foot safari and you're in the best possible place to experience the magic of this park. Expect few other tourists and an astonishing variety of wildlife, big and small.

The second area to consider is the Serengeti and the surrounding areas of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. In this part of the world the time of year radically affects where we'd recommend walking - from the northern wilderness zones close to where the wildebeest migration crosses the Mara River between July and October, to the beautiful landscapes around the Gol Mountains that come into themselves between December and May. Take a look at a walking safari in the Serengeti.

Fly camping is minimalist camping par excellence.  Above all it’s about experiencing the sights, sounds and smells of the African night; myriad stars, the noise of elephant foraging near camp, the calls of hyenas, leopard and lion.  Frills are restricted to the essentials: good simple food, cold drinks and a comfortable bed-roll.  And there's a ranger of course so you dont need to fight the animals off with your toothbrush.

By day, you'll walk with your guide to a secluded location on a dry riverbed or island to find your camp set up.  In the evening you'll have drinks barefoot by the campfire, eat under the stars and sleep (if you can) in the wild as never before.  Few experiences better illustrate the idea that less really can be more.  Do it for a night, or as part of a longer walking safari.  Just make sure you do it.
