After breakfast, you will proceed on a walking safari with an armed ranger. Later depart for a game drive until the evening. One of the largest national parks in Tanzania located in the Manyara region, this place is characterized by the large herds of elephants, tree-climbing lions, and the fascinating baobab trees also called the Tree of Life for its almost mythical powers that some cultures attach to it. This park is especially known for the Tarangire river which flows all year round and is the only source of water for wild animals during dry seasons.

Meals: Break, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Mpingo Ridge Tented Lodge

We will drive to the Hadzabe tribe where we will start a cultural tour with the locals. The Hadza, or Hadzabe, are an indigenous ethnic tribe located in north-central Tanzania that lives around Lake Eyasi in the central Rift Valley and in the neighboring Serengeti Plateau. The Hadza number is just under 1,000 with some 300–400 still living as part-time hunter-gatherers although the increasing impact of tourism and encroaching pastoralists pose serious threats to the continuation of their traditional way of life.

The Hadza are not closely related genetically to any other people. While traditionally classified with the Khoisan languages, primarily because it has “clicks,” the Hadza language appears to be isolated and unrelated to any other. As descendants of Tanzania’s aboriginal hunter-gatherer population, they have probably occupied their current territory for thousands of years with relatively little modification to their basic way of life until the past hundred years. Depending on the length of time spent with the Hadzabe tribe, we may also visit lake Eyasi and hike around the waterfalls there before driving to the overnight accommodations.
Meals: Break, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Farm House Lodge

After Breakfast around 7 am, We will descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a morning, half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely populated African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park is home to a vast variety of animals which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big drawing card to this picturesque national park is the dense population of predators including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before returning to the accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Lion’s Paw
Meals: Break, Lunch and Dinner

After breakfast, we head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa – the Serengeti National Park – with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eye can see. We head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species. We arrive in time for lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park.

Accommodation: Serengeti Sametu Tented camp
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Be one of only a few fortunate people to glide in a Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti Plains (available at supplementary cost by pre-arrangement). Floating silently above the awakening bush, while spotting wildlife and enjoying the amazing scenery of Africa, across rivers and over numerous small villages.

We do an after-breakfast game viewing drive along the Sogore River Circuit, which loops into the plains south of the Seronera River, and which is good for possible Lion, Thomson gazelle, topi, ostrich, and cheetah sightings. The Visitor Centre close to the Serengeti Seronera Lodge and public campsites is well worth a visit after the morning’s game drive. This nicely designed centre offers some interesting wildlife displays as well as a gift shop selling information leaflets and maps of the area. The centre also has a shop where cold drinks and snacks can be purchased, as well as a picnic area and information trail up and around a nearby kopje. We will enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the center in the shade of the giant acacia trees.

In the afternoon we will follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Maasai Kopjes, which usually attract a number of lions and some formidably large cobras. Kopjes are weathered granite outcrops, scattered around the plains, most of which are miniature ecosystems, providing shade and drinking water in pools left in the rock after the rains. This makes the kopjes particularly good for spotting wildlife in the dry seasons – including lions, which like to lie in wait for animals coming to drink!
