Explore the crater floor, home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, lions, and, with luck, the endangered black rhino.

Enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the breathtaking scenery before ascending the crater and continuing toward Serengeti National Park.

As you enter the Serengeti, the landscape transforms into endless golden plains dotted with acacia trees and rocky kopjes.

Day 4

Central Serengeti

Central Serengeti

Today is all about the kings of the savannah! The Central Serengeti is one of the finest places in Africa to observe lion prides in their natural habitat. An early start gives us the best chance to see them at their most active, and with a little luck, we may even witness the excitement of a hunt.

The Serengeti is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, so throughout the day we'll also be on the lookout for elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, giraffes, Grant's gazelles, impalas, kongoni (Coke's hartebeest), eland, cheetahs, and, if fortune smiles upon us, even the elusive leopard.

With an expert wildlife guide behind the wheel, every game drive offers fascinating sightings and countless opportunities to capture unforgettable photographs and videos of Africa's spectacular wildlife.

As the day draws to a close, we'll journey north through the Serengeti before arriving at our welcoming tented camp, where a warm reception, delicious meal, and a relaxing evening await.

Day 5

Northern Serengeti

Northern Serengeti

Northern Serengeti is one of Tanzania’s most spectacular wildlife regions and an important stage of the Great Wildebeest Migration. The area comes alive as thousands of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and other grazing animals, move across the vast plains in search of fresh grass and water. Depending on the season, the herds may gather around the Mara River, creating one of nature’s most dramatic wildlife spectacles.

Spend the day following the migration routes with your experienced safari guide, searching for large concentrations of wildebeest and observing their constant movement across the wilderness. The Northern Serengeti offers incredible opportunities for photography and witnessing the powerful survival journey of the migrating herds. River crossings, however, are completely natural events and cannot be guaranteed, making every sighting unique and unpredictable.

Main Destination:
Northern Serengeti National Park
Accommodation:
Mara Mara Tented Lodge
  • Luxury tented camp located inside Northern Serengeti NP
Meals & Drinks:
  • All meals included
  • Drinking water & beer and wine (Other drinks not included)

After one final morning game drive, it will be time to bid farewell to the magnificent Serengeti and begin our journey back to civilisation.

As we leave the endless plains behind, we’ll enjoy the memories of unforgettable sightings and incredible moments shared in the heart of the Serengeti. The journey back to Karatu will be a long and bumpy one, but it marks the return to our familiar lodge for our final evening.

Tonight, we’ll gather for our last dinner together a special opportunity to reflect on the incredible experiences of the past six days, share stories from our journey, and raise a glass to the friendships and memories created along the way.

Lake Eyasi ( Discover the hadzabe Culture)

We have a special outing planned for your final day, a morning with the Hadzabe people, one of Tanzania’s last remaining hunter-gatherer communities. Living closely connected to nature, the Hadzabe have preserved traditions and skills passed down through generations, offering a rare glimpse into an ancient way of life.

During this unforgettable cultural experience, you will learn about their customs, daily routines, and deep knowledge of the surrounding environment. Join them on a traditional hunting expedition and discover the techniques they use to live sustainably from the land. With a little luck, you may even have the chance to share in the excitement of their catch.

A morning with the Hadzabe is truly like stepping back in time, a unique opportunity to connect with one of the world’s oldest living cultures.

After lunch, you will be transferred back to Arusha, where your safari adventure concludes, and you continue with your onward journey.
