Trip Overview

Our most famous itinerary is this one because it encapsulates everything that makes up our business. You will get the opportunity to see all the parks in Tanzania’s northern safari circuit (including three nights in the Serengeti) during this journey, as well as engage in fascinating cultural interactions with the Hadzabe tribe near Lake Eyasi. Finally, you’ll unwind and take in Zanzibar Island’s breathtaking scenery.

Day by Day Itinerary

Day 1: Tarangire National Park

At 8:00 am, we will pick you up from your accommodation and transport you to a very unique national park. Tarangire is renowned for its varied topography and nine distinct vegetation zones. The largest trees on the continent, the Ancient Baobab trees, which are abundant there and cover the landscape, dwarf any nearby creatures. A wide variety of birds, lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and, of course, elephants may all be seen in the park along the river. In fact, the park offers the one-of-a-kind chance to see relationships between elephant families and has the highest concentration of elephants in the entire nation. 

There is an observatory with breathtaking views of the river and wildlife in the lunch area, which is quite fascinating. There is a considerable chance that you will watch a hunt while enjoying your picnic. Before you travel to the camp, we will have another game drive in the late afternoon.

Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park

Take a lovely, brief ride over the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park, where you may go on a full-day game drive. Despite its modest size (205 square miles), the park is renowned for its magnificent beauty, rich acacia woodland, enormous figs, mahogany trees, and its expanding baboon and blue monkey populations. Giraffes, elephants, impalas, as well as a sizable number of buffaloes and hippos, are other permanent occupants of this park. The scenery around Lake Manyara is challenging to put into words. Beautiful photo chances with giraffes, buffaloes, and the lake (and its flamingos) in the background can be found during game drives along the lake. On this day, additional tours like a bike tour or a boat excursion are offered. In the afternoon, you’ll make a transfer to the camp for dinner. You can choose to reduce or increase the quality of your accommodations.

Day 3: Serengeti National park

You will go to the Serengeti, the most well-known national park in the world, after an early breakfast. Despite being lengthy, the drive itself is beautiful. It is unforgettable to experience the Serengeti for the first time. You will discover why the Serengeti is called the “endless plains” in local language as you move deeper into the park. The park’s 6,900 square miles (18,000 square kilometers) of plains will most often challenge your concept of distance and stretch to the horizon.

The Great Migration, two million wildebeests, tens of thousands of zebras, and several antelope species call it home. It is the ideal location to keep an eye out for big cats and other powerful predators like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas. In this park, numerous well-known television episodes have been filmed. You can choose to reduce or increase the quality of your accommodations.

Day 4-5: Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park will be yours for two whole days. Your preferences are perfectly acceptable to us, and each day will be set up as you desire. You and your advisor will talk about the ideal times for your gaming drives and awakenings. For example, you could do a morning game drive, return to the camp for lunch and relaxation, and then finish with an afternoon game drive. A full-day game drive with a picnic lunch is another option.

Day 6: Serengeti to Ngorongoro

Today, we advise getting up very early to go on a game drive at a time when the animals are most active and to see one of the most spectacular sunrises you’ll ever see. We will return to the camp for a satisfying brunch following the wildlife drive before traveling to Ngorongoro, the eighth wonder of the world. The crater has walls that are 2,000 feet high and encompasses 102 square miles. With nearly all of the East African native wildlife species making the crater their home, it is like a modern-day Noah’s ark. The chance to view a black rhino is one of the very few in the entire continent. A river, many marshes, a soda lake with a large number of flamingos, a forest, and wide plains can all be found in the crater. It is renowned for having the largest elephants in the world with enormous tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater is a magnificent sight to behold. You’ll get to Ngorongoro in time for sunset drinks. You can choose to reduce or increase the quality of your accommodations.

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater

We will get an early start and enter the crater bottom for an amazing morning of wildlife viewing in one of the most beautiful locations on the planet. There will be time for a picnic lunch next to the lovely hippo lake after the game drive. We’ll have a little game drive again after lunch before climbing the crater. We will head toward Lake Eyasi after leaving the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You can choose to reduce or increase the quality of your accommodations.

Day 8: Lake Eyasi

Today will be incredibly unique and wonderful. Just before sunrise, you’ll get up extremely early and accompany your guide until he locates the Hadzabe tribe, one of Africa’s last remaining real nomadic groups. You will join them in carrying out their morning rituals after receiving some background information about the tribe. Off the usual path and by no means touristy, this experience is unique. There are incredible prospects for photography. Joining the males on their daily hunt or the women on their daily fruit harvesting session are two possible interactions you might have with the tribe. In either case, you will discover a lot about the Hadzabe way of life. This will undoubtedly be a safari highlight.

After you’ve finished up with the tribe, we’ll head to the stunning Lake Eyasi, a small salt lake at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. You will board a flight to Zanzibar in the afternoon.

Day 9-10: Zanzibar

Relax and take in this beauty of the Indian Ocean’s turquoise seas and lovely white sand beaches. A full- or half-day tour of Stone Town is also an option; possible stops on the itinerary include Old Town, the spice market, and Prison Island (lunch is not included). The option of taking a tour of Jozani Forest is also available (lunch is not included).

Day 11: Zanzibar

Relax throughout the last few hours of your trip. Later, you’ll take a transfer to the airport in Zanzibar to catch your trip home from abroad.
