Overnight in Arusha
After a hearty breakfast, we head out on a scenic drive to the enchanting Tarangire National Park. Famous for its majestic baobab trees and large elephant herds, Tarangire is a hidden gem where wildlife roams freely. Spend the day on safari inside the park, spotting lions, giraffes, zebras, and more.
Overnight in a lodge or camp inside Tarangire National Park.
Today is all about culture and connection. We travel to Lake Eyasi to meet the Hadzabe people – one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes in Africa. Join them on a morning hunt and learn about their ancient traditions. Afterwards, visit the Datoga tribe, skilled blacksmiths and pastoralists.
Overnight in Karatu, a peaceful town on the edge of the Ngorongoro Highlands.
After breakfast, we make our way to the legendary Serengeti National Park. On the way, enjoy the stunning landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive in time for your first Serengeti game drive – where the wild heart of Africa beats strongest.
Overnight in the Serengeti
Wake up with the sunrise and spend a full day exploring the Serengeti. Lions, cheetahs, elephants, wildebeests, and more await. Depending on the season, you might even catch part of the Great Migration – one of nature’s most spectacular shows.
Overnight in the Serengeti
After an early breakfast, enjoy a final Serengeti game drive as we head toward the Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera for a safari like no other. With luck, you might spot the rare black rhino. In the late afternoon, drive back toward Arusha.
Overnight near Arusha
On your final day, we head to the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Visit the beautiful Materuni Waterfalls and learn the secrets of Tanzanian coffee from local farmers.
