6 Days Incredible Tanzania Safari

Day 2

Lake Manyara National Park

As we head west toward Lake Manyara National Park, our safari truly begins. Along the way, we stop at the Mto wa Mbu village, home to thousands of indigenous people from 120 different tribes. Experience Tanzanian culture and tour their farms, artisan’s shops and a local market. Our guide and driver will share details of this charming tribal culture. After lunch in the village, we explore the acacia woodlands and lake Manyara, where hundreds of migratory birds, including flamingos, line the shore. The water level fluctuates with the season and draws a wide variety of animals to its mud flat shores and alkaline waters. At the end of the night, we’ll retire to the comfort of the lodge and enjoy dinner.

Accommodation: Lake Manyara Tortilis Camp

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

As we drive farther north, the wonders of this world-famous park reveal itself slowly. The park is divided into three regions. Much of the park is occupied by the iconic plains, where treeless grasslands draw animals like wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo and waterbuck. The western corridor, which is covered in black clay soil, is home to crocodiles, patas monkeys, hippos, and rare birds.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the changing and versatile environment surprises even the most seasoned traveller. Wildlife enthusiasts celebrate the Serengeti as one of the best wildlife opportunities in the world. Each trip is unique, and while the animals don’t appear on cue, there will be many surprising and incredible moments.

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

Wake up to the noises of the jungle for our fifth day, nestled deep in the plains of Serengeti National Park. We begin the day with a game drive, searching for one of the 1.6 million herbivores in their natural habitat. Photography lovers will enjoy the changing light and the spectacular subjects of exotic wildlife. Your guide will help identify the diverse animal population and help you make the most of the trip.

After lunch, the expedition continues! We search for more wildlife and enjoy the sprawling natural vistas and breath-taking landscape offered by the Serengeti. Although never guaranteed, we search for animals like lion, leopard, and zebra. We finish the evening back at the lodge with another delicious dinner to end the day and some well-earned rest.

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater

We begin with a morning game drive through more untouched regions of the Serengeti. After lunch, we travel north to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the nearby town of Karatu. We continue the search for more animals and birds, but also breathe in the beauty of the region, which is unlike anything else in Tanzania. We settle into the comforts of the lodge, while we prepare to visit to the famous Ngorongoro Crater on our final day of the expedition.

Day 6

Back to Arusha and Departure

Today we visit the famous Ngorongoro Crater. This area is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It includes the world’s largest volcanic caldera, filled with grassland, montane forest, and swamp. Nearby, two active volcanoes spew ash and slow-moving lava. The Ngoitokitok Spring and the Munge Stream are the two important water sources for the animals and local Maasai tribe that live in the area.

More than 25,000 animals inhabit the crater, including crowd favourites like elephants, hyena and hippo. It has one of the densest known population of East African lions. If we’re lucky, we’ll spot the rare black rhino who finds shelter in the permanent water features on the crater floor.

After an entirely unique Tanzania experience, we have a picnic lake and provide transportation to the airport for your flight home.
