6-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Lake Eyasi and Wahadzabe Visit

Get picked up in the morning just after breakfast and drive towards Tarangire National Park, which is famous for its large population of elephants.

Have a chance to view elephants in large numbers gathering around the Tarangire River. A lot of other animals can also be spotted, including lions, leopards, and more.

In the morning, after breakfast, depart from Karatu Town to Ngorongoro Crater with your Tanzanian safari guide.

Spend the whole day exploring Ngorongoro Crater, where you will view a variety of animal species, including birds. There is also a big possibility of spotting the Big Five, which include lions, buffaloes, elephants, rhinos, and leopards.

Have lunch at the best picnic site on the crater floor in the afternoon.

Later in the afternoon, travel to Serengeti National Park and stay overnight there.

Wake up early in the morning and catch a beautiful sunrise in Serengeti National Park.

After breakfast, enjoy game viewing in this park, which has a greater diversity of animals than any other park in the world. There is also the Visitor Information Centre, which is worth visiting. It is nicely designed and offers interesting wildlife displays, a gift shop that sells souvenirs, and information leaflets. You can also get cold drinks and snacks from the Centre.

Enjoy a relaxed picnic lunch at the Centre under the shade of acacia trees.

Later in the afternoon, follow the Kopjes Circuit, which goes anti-clockwise around the Masai Kopjes. This area usually attracts many lions and large cobras. The kopjes are weathered granite outcrops found around the plains, and many of them are miniature ecosystems, providing shade as well as drinking water within pools in the rocks after heavy rains. This makes the kopjes good for spotting wildlife species, including lions, leopards, and many more.

View the sunset on your way to Taj Resthouse for accommodation.

After breakfast, begin the day with a game drive where you will view more animals, and if you are lucky, you may see a live hunt.

Later in the afternoon, drive all the way to Ngorongoro and Karatu Town to rest with your Tanzanian safari guide.

Early in the morning, head towards Lake Eyasi, one of the most remote places in Tanzania. The Bushman, also known as the Wahadzabe tribe, still maintain their traditional hunter-gatherer way of life. A local guide who will describe their lifestyle will lead the visit to the village. The Bushman will make fire from sticks and show you their very few belongings. They will take you on a simulated hunt in the area with their bows and arrows, and visitors can try a little target practice.

Conclude the visit with traditional singing and dancing. In the rainy season, they live in caves, and in the dry season, they live in the trees and bushes. Upright sticks in a semi-circle mark homes. Men hunt wild animals and birds with bows and arrows. There are different arrows for different types of animals. Poisoned arrows are used for large animals.

After breakfast, travel back to Arusha city/airport.
