Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arusha to Arusha National Park

   Meet your tour guide when they pick you up from your Arusha hotel at 8 a.m. Visit Arusha National Park, where the beautiful Lake Momella is situated. View the bronze bush, home to the buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, warthog, zebra, and gazelle of the Ngurdoto Crater all year long.

   Take a stroll that will allow you to experience the vibrant pulse of Africa through the soles of your shoes. Investigate the surroundings of chirping birds, buzzing insects, and distant savannah cries.

   A beautiful place famous for the antics of black and white colobus monkeys can be reached by hiking through a verdant forest to a dazzling waterfall.

2. Day 2: Arusha National Park to Tarangire National Park to Mto Wa Mbu

   Travel to the peaceful, beautiful Tarangire National Park. Especially between July and October, when the Tarangire River is completely flooded, it is a sizable park with a diverse concentration of wildlife.

   Watch the magnificent African elephant, the world's largest terrestrial mammal. These gorgeous, clever animals roam in herds and care for their young at their own pace.

   
   Enjoy the opportunity to observe a bewildering array of species, such as lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongooses, buffalo, and baboons. Watch a red-and-yellow barbet's flash or the tawny eagle's leisurely circling.

   Drive to Mto Wa Mbu, pack a picnic lunch, and arrive late afternoon.

   Enjoy a delicious dinner while relaxing and drinking in the African sunset.

   Accommodations: A campground with a view

3. Day 3: Mto Wa Mbu to Lake Natron

   Leave Lake Natron, famous for its salinity and the special effects of this—the lake's rusty colour results from organisms that prefer an alkaline environment.

   In the shallows, observe salt-crust rafts strewn about. The lake is home to more than half of the world's lesser flamingos, and as they settle and stalk the still waters, pink clouds are likely to appear in the sky.

   
   Experience a mysterious landscape of freshwater and saltwater wetlands with distinctive vegetation that leads to beautiful waterfalls.

   View the amazing Oldoinyo Lengai, also known as the Mountain of God in Maasai, the language of the Maasai people, in this tour safari. This active volcano creates hornitos, magnificent statues made of cooled lava.

4. Day 4: Lake Natron to Serengeti National Park

   Through Klein's Gate at the park's northeast entrance, travel through the popular towns of Loliondo and Wasso.

   An opportunity to see antelope, wildebeest, and zebra.

   
   You can stretch your legs once you reach the Serengeti on this safari. Fill up on a filling dinner to get a good night's rest.

   Accommodation: Nyani campsite

5. Day 5: Explore Serengeti National Park

   Continue into the magnificent Serengeti's expansive grasslands, home to hundreds of different species of animals and birds. See lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and water buffalo up close and personal inside your jeep.

   Watch as millions of zebra and wildebeest migrate from across the plains, risking their lives because they attract predators that are also simply trying to survive.

   
   Eland, hyenas, gazelles, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, and rhinos are just a few of the less well-known but no less stunning animals that you might see in the park.

   Later, savour a delicious, freshly prepared meal while gazing at the stars.

   Accommodation: Nyani campsite

6. Day 6: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

   Drive on a safari to Serengeti to experience its views, sounds, boundless sky, golden grasslands scattered with acacia, and ever-changing landscapes. After lunch, depart on your next excursion, which will involve exploring the distinctive Ngorongoro Crater.

   Spend the night here, which is right on the crater's rim. This is a great location for pleasure and leisure. Drink in the amazing colours of the setting sun as they spread over the grassland and the caldera below as nightfall approaches. Enjoy a great meal under the stars.

   Accommodation: Simba campsite

7. Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater to Lake Eyasi

   Eat a hearty, nutritious breakfast before travelling to the crater. Numerous grazing animals and their predators are drawn to the volcanic environment due to its abundance and fertility.

   On this safari tour, get the chance to see animals, including zebras, wildebeest, and cackling hyenas. Enjoy a leisurely picnic lunch next to a hippos-filled pond before visiting Soda Lake to see the graceful flamingo flocks, along with storks, ibis, and cranes.

   
   Set out for Lake Eyasi in the late afternoon to arrive in time for a tranquil stroll along the lakefront at dusk, followed by a well-earned rest.

   Accommodation: Campsite

8. Day 8: Lake Eyasi to Mto Wa Mbu

   Visit Lake Eyasi and meet the last remaining hunting and gathering tribe in the world. Get in touch this new year, 2023, from January to December. The Hadzabe Bushpeople don't cultivate any food, don't keep any livestock, or follow any laws or calendars. They continue to lead a hunter-gatherer lifestyle that hasn't changed much in 10,000 years.
   Observe the Hadzabe traditional hunting techniques and other means of subsistence.
   After lunch, we set out for Mto wa Mbu, which is a short distance from the entrance to our next national park, Lake Manyara.
   Spend the evening thinking back on your experiences thus far and unwinding with a drink while taking in the sounds of the night.

   Accommodation: Panorama campsite

9. Day 9: Lake Manyara National Park to Arusha

   Discover the wildlife at Lake Manyara National Park, a patchwork of diverse landscapes, including the shrubby expanse of the golden savannah on Tanzania's Big 5 safari, the narrow shores teeming with wildlife, and the still waters of Lake Manyara itself. The park is nestled at the foot of the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

   Look out for the elephants and the baboon groups that swoop and cry to one another while never seeming to stop for air.

   
   See the fabled tree-climbing lions, the strong water buffalo, the magnificent African elephant, the giraffe, the impala, and the hippo. In the middle of the park, take a picnic.

   On your way to Arusha, pass through Maasai bomas, baobab forests, and undulating savannah grasslands.
