Highlights

Experience the Wild Heart of Tanzania – From Majestic Elephants to Ancient Tribes

Embark on an unforgettable 3-day safari that takes you from the iconic landscapes of Tarangire National Park to the cultural treasures of Lake Eyasi. Encounter Tanzania’s diverse wildlife, meet the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of authentic African life.

This safari can also be arranged as a tour starting from Zanzibar, including domestic flights to and from Arusha.

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your Arusha hotel. After a scenic drive through the beautiful countryside, you’ll arrive at the breathtaking Tarangire National Park – famous for its vast elephant herds, towering baobab trees, and dramatic landscapes.
Enjoy an exciting game drive through the park, where you might spot lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and more. As the sun sets over the savannah, head to your safari camp inside the park, where you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner and a night surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Overnight: Safari Camp in Tarangire National Park

After an early breakfast, head out for a morning game drive to catch the animals as they start their day. You may see predators on the hunt or herds making their way to the river for a drink.
Afterward, you’ll drive out of the park and continue to Lake Eyasi, a stunning soda lake located at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Check into your lodge near Lake Eyasi, unwind, and take in the tranquil surroundings. Spend the afternoon at leisure – relax by the lodge or take a short walk along the lake’s edge.

Overnight: Lodge at Lake Eyasi

Rise early for a truly unique cultural adventure. Today, you’ll spend the day with the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in Africa. Join them on a morning hunt, learn about their ancient traditions, and experience their way of life up close.
Later, visit the Datoga tribe, skilled blacksmiths and pastoralists known for their metalwork and traditional lifestyle.
After this enriching cultural encounter, enjoy lunch before beginning your drive back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon.
