Day 1

Arusha

It's time to begin your safari. Welcome to Tanzania! After we greet you and provide you with the trip briefing, we'll take you out to help you discover why so many people think Tanzania is the best place in Africa to go on safari.

You'll spend some time in Arusha, where there's always something happening. The endlessly busy streets are a fascinating performance in their own right, but the city also has clamorous markets, excellent museums and a fun food scene. Best of all, it's a window on local life that you just can't get out in the safari parks.

Day 2

Tarangire National Park

If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards are around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Your backdrop for all of this is one of the prettiest in northern Tanzania, with a memorable mix of river woodland, open plains and rolling hills. And some vantage points to take it all in.

Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

You never forget the first time you see Ngorongoro Crater from above. Looking out from the rim of this extraordinary volcanic crater is like gazing down upon a lost world of wildlife and astonishing beauty. The drive down into the crater will be just as special, taking you down onto the crater floor where nature rules and no human being may pass the night. You'll spend the best part of a day exploring this remarkable place, seeing its lions, hyenas, black rhinos, elephants, flamingos and so much more. And when it comes time to leave, you'll keep looking back over your shoulder trying to hold these experiences in your memory.

Lake Eyasi

You’ll treasure the time you spend with the Hadza around isolated Lake Eyasi.

Activities Day 3

Morning

Lake Eyasi

Lake Eyasi is a seasonal, shallow lake in northern Tanzania, nestled in the Great Rift Valley near Serengeti. Known for its cultural significance, it’s home to the Hadzabe, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes, and the Datoga people, renowned for ironworking. The lake is a birdwatcher’s paradise with species like flamingos and pelicans. Visitors can interact with local tribes, experience their traditions, and explore the stunning scenery, making it a unique cultural and wildlife destination.

Activities Day 4

Early in the morning

Hunting activities involve tracking animals early in the morning or late afternoon using traditional bows and poisoned arrows, with hunters relying on their deep knowledge of the land and animal behavior.

It lies off the road that wanders across the beautifully green highlands between Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, and charms everyone who visits.
