In this itinerary our Tanzania safari tour operator will offer you the opportunity to visit the most popular parks in the northern part of Tanzania and interact with the Hadzabe and Datoga 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 in the hotel with dinner and overnight stay according to the chosen category.
Depart early in the morning to drive through the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, where you will begin your safari in Tanzania. (Approximate transfer time Arusha•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 stay according to the chosen category.
EXTRA ACTIVITY: NIGHT GAME DRIVE • TREETOP WALKWAY
Early in the morning, you’ll set off for Tanzania’s most famous park: the Serengeti. (Approximate transfer time Manyara-Serengeti: 4 hours) During the journey, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the dense forest of tall trees and the vastness of the crater from above as you pass through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. As you progress towards the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means, in the Maasai language, “endless plain”. 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. The safari will end in the afternoon with the transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay inside the park according to the chosen category.
The next day will be entirely dedicated to the exploration of the Seronera Valley. Along the banks of the river of the same name, you will have the chance to see leopards climbing sausage trees, observe the numerous prides of lions on the Moru kopjes and, with a little luck, even spot a black rhinoceros. Finally, you can get out of the car at the famous hippo pool and approach the pool to scrutinize the many hippos piled up. In the late afternoon return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: BALLOON SAFARI • WALKING SAFARI • SPECIAL RHINO VIEWING
Early in the morning, immediately after breakfast, you will begin the game drive leaving the Serengeti to reach the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, declared a WORLD HERITAGE SITE (UNESCO 1978) and INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE RESERVE (1981). (Approximate transfer time Serengeti•Ngorongoro Conservation Area: 2 h 30 min) The area has become a real ecosystem, thanks to the good rainfall, the ponds, small lakes and internal streams, and the night mist that surrounds and feeds the forests on the slopes of its famous crater. The safari will continue by descending to the bottom of the caldera for an entire afternoon dedicated to discovering one of the most beautiful places on Earth, where nature reigns supreme and remains 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. In the late afternoon you will go up the crater to exit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in Karatu according to the chosen category. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Karatu: 1 h 30 min)
EXTRA ACTIVITIES: MAASAI BOMA • OLDUVAI GORGE MUSEUM
Early in the morning, you will depart, immediately after breakfast, to reach the northern shore of Lake Eyasi where you will meet the local tribes of the Hadzabe and the Datoga. (Approximate transfer time Karatu•Eyasi : 1 h) 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. 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 can participate with the Hadzabe men in bush hunting, learn with the women the use of medicinal plants collected in the savannah, admire the art of working the metals 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, return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight stay.
Early in the morning, after a good breakfast, you will depart to reach Tarangire National Park, during the transfer you will have the opportunity to stop for shopping and gifts in the local bazaars. (Approximate transfer time Karatu•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 will continue in the afternoon with the transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight according to the chosen category.
