After breakfast, we will pick you up from your hotel and drive to Lake Manyara National Park for an exciting game drive.

Lake Manyara offers breathtaking scenery and diverse habitats ranging from groundwater forests to open plains and the alkaline lake itself. The Great Rift Valley, one of the world’s most remarkable geological features, stretches approximately 8,000 kilometers from Turkey to Mozambique and was so vast that astronauts could clearly see it from the moon. During your safari, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, and the famous tree-climbing lions, along with a spectacular variety of birdlife including flamingos along the lakeshore.

Once the game drive is done, you will be transferred back to the lodge, where you'll stop for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay for preparation of the next day Safari.

Ngorongoro Crater (Full Day Game Drive)

After an early breakfast, you will descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable morning game drive. Surrounded by towering 2,000-foot-high walls, the crater forms a natural enclosure that supports an incredible concentration of wildlife throughout the year. Because very few animals migrate in and out of the crater, you will have excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, jackals, hyenas, antelopes, flamingos, and a variety of bird species. The crater is also one of the best places in Tanzania to see the rare black rhino in its natural habitat.

Located within the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Africa’s most remarkable natural wonders, featuring breathtaking landscapes, rich volcanic scenery, and exceptional wildlife viewing experiences. Once the game drive is done, you will be transferred back Karatu, where you'll stop for relaxation, dinner, and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you will depart for Lake Eyasi, a remote and culturally rich destination located along the Great Rift Valley. Upon arrival, you will visit the famous Hadzabe bushmen, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in the world. During this unique cultural experience, you will have the opportunity to observe their traditional way of life, including hunting techniques, gathering of wild fruits and roots, and survival skills that have been practiced for generations.

The Hadza people, with a population of fewer than 1,000, live around Lake Eyasi and the neighboring Serengeti Plateau in north-central Tanzania. Their simple lifestyle and deep connection with nature offer a fascinating insight into one of the oldest surviving cultures in Africa.

Day 5

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park

Tarangire National Park is one of the largest and most beautiful national parks in Tanzania, located in the Manyara Region. The park is famous for its large herds of elephants, majestic baobab trees, and the rare tree-climbing lions occasionally seen resting on branches. The iconic baobab trees, often referred to as the “Tree of Life,” are deeply connected to local legends and cultures because of their remarkable ability to store water and survive harsh conditions.

Tarangire is also renowned for the permanent Tarangire River, which serves as the main source of water for wildlife during the dry season. As a result, thousands of animals gather along the river, including elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, buffaloes, antelopes, and numerous bird species, making the park an excellent destination for unforgettable wildlife viewing throughout the year.
Once we finish the game drive, we will transfer you to Arusha for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Main Destination:

Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)
