4 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
5 LAKE EYASI
A unique and fascinating adventure that our safari tour operator in Tanzania has decided to offer you through some of the most emblematic parks in Tanzania where, in addition to discovering the unspoiled and wild nature, you will interact with the customs and traditions of the local tribes.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro (or Arusha) airport, just outside the main exit, you will be received by our guide who will take you to your Lodge in Arusha. If you have time, you can take a tour of the city, accompanied by the guide. Alternatively, relax at the hotel with dinner and overnight stay.
Early in the morning you will leave, immediately after breakfast, to discover the wonderful Tarangire National Park. (Approximate transfer time Arusha•Tarangire: 2 h 30 min) The park, dotted with huge baobabs, covers an area of 2850 km² and includes the Tarangire River, where immense herds of zebras, wildebeests, oryx, water antelopes, lesser kudus, giraffes, buffaloes and their natural predators such as lions, leopards and wild dogs gather, especially during the dry season. Tarangire is also known for having the highest concentration of elephants in the world and is considered by many to be Tanzania’s best destination for birdwatchers, with over 450 species of birds spotted there. After lunch on one of the many natural terraces with breathtaking views of the river and the surrounding nature, the safari in Tanzania will continue in the afternoon with the transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight.
Depart early in the morning to drive through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, where you will go on a daytime safari. (Approximate transfer time Tarangire•Manyara: 2 h 30 min) Lake Manyara is one of the smallest parks in Tanzania (330 km²), but it has a lot to offer. The lake and the surrounding area constitute an ecosystem renowned for its richness in plant and animal species. The vegetation is very varied, with areas of evergreen forests, stretches of savannah, swamps and hot springs (Maji Moto). The fauna includes numerous elephants, baboons, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, hippos, large flocks of pink flamingos and other species. The park is also home to leopards, hyenas and the famous Manyara lions that have the habit of climbing trees in this area. At the end of the game drive, transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in Karatu. (Approximate transfer time Manyara•Karatu: 1 h)
EXTRA ACTIVITY: TREETOP WALKWAY
In the morning, immediately after breakfast, you will start with the game drive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, declared WORLD HERITAGE SITE (UNESCO 1978) AND INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE (1981). (Approximate transfer time Karatu•Ngorongoro Conservation Area: 30 min) The area has become a real ecosystem, thanks to the good rainfall, the ponds, the small lakes and internal streams, the night fog that surrounds and feeds the forests of the slopes of its famous crater. After a short stop at the crater rim, you will descend to the bottom of the caldera for a photo safari dedicated to the discovery of one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where nature is sovereign and “unchanged over time”. The 265 km² caldera has the highest concentration of wildlife on the continent. It is one of the very rare places where you can meet the black rhino. After lunch near the enchanting hippo lake, you will head up the crater out of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and reach the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in the Serengeti National Park. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Serengeti: 2 h 30 min)
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: MAASAI BOMA • OLDUVAI GORGE MUSEUM
The Serengeti is considered the most famous national park in the world, the cradle of the Great Migration, where every year one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed: tens of thousands of ungulates move, guided by the primordial instinct for survival, in constant search of new pastures. The landscape, dotted with large acacias and Kopjes (mounds of ancient rocks), is the ideal habitat for big cats. As you go deeper into the heart of the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means, in the Maasai language, “boundless plain”. Your safari will continue to discover the park where there will be opportunities to spot families of giraffes and elephants, large prides of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and smaller ones such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, along with more than 500 species of birds. The safari will end in the afternoon with the return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITY: BALLOON SAFARI
Early in the morning, you will depart, immediately after breakfast, to reach the northern shore of Lake Eyasi where you will meet the local Datoga people. (Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Eyasi: 4 h) The Datoga are a population of semi-nomadic shepherds, easily recognizable by the elongated lobes and the showy tattoos on the face and back that make breeding their main source of livelihood, even if over the centuries they have introduced the practice of cultivating corn and millet. During the visit, you will be able to admire the art of metalworking used to create jewelry, knives, arrows and participate in the lively ritual of grinding corn on stone to obtain flour. At the end of the activities, transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay in the Lake Eyasi area.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, you will experience the last activity of this 7 day Safari in Tanzania: you will interact with the local Hadzabe tribe. The Hadzabe are one of the most primitive peoples on the African continent. They live exclusively by hunting and are gatherers of the spontaneous fruits of nature such as berries, tubers and honey. They do not know agriculture, writing and forms of political organization. During the visit, you can participate with the Hadzabe men in bush hunting or learn with the women the use of medicinal plants gathered from the savannah. After lunch you will return to Arusha/Kilimanjaro in the late afternoon to catch your return flight.
(Approximate transfer time Eyasi•Arusha: 3 h • Eyasi•Kilimanjaro Airport: 4 h)
However, we are flexible and available in case of special needs, such as early flight or other.
IT IS POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THIS SAFARI WITH AN EXTENSION OF A BEACH STAY IN ZANZIBAR.
