Materuni Village, Waterfalls and Culture

You will be picked up from the lodge and driven to Materuni Village.

On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga, village life and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. On the bottom of the waterfall, there is an amazing pool which is a good place for a refreshing swim so you might as well bring your swimwear.

After having enjoyed the scenery, you will slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer —definitely not to be missed.

Day 4

Northern Serengeti National Park

Northern Serengeti National Park

Each year millions of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras thunder across the Serengeti plains in search of green grass and fresh water. This is a breathtaking experience to see all those animals migrate from north to south, followed by their predators.
This is the best time to visit Serengeti!

The southern and northern plains of the Serengeti are the two main feeding grounds for the herds. The animals are constantly on the move between these two areas each year. We can generally predict where they should be at a given time of the year. After an astonishing day of wonders, you will later drive back to the lodge for an overnight stay and dinner.

Northern Serengeti National Park
Accommodation:
Africa Safari Serengeti Ikoma (Safari Comfort)
  • Mid-range tented camp located inside Western Serengeti NP

  • All meals included
  • Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 5

Central Serengeti National Park

Central Serengeti National Park

The magic of Serengeti National Park is not easy to describe in words. Not only seeing but also hearing the buzz of millions of wildebeest so thick in the air that it vibrates through your entire body is something you will try to describe to friends and family, before realizing it’s impossible.

It doesn’t matter what season you visit the Serengeti National Park, It is magical all year round.
Even though animals still rule the plains of the Serengeti, this area has an incredibly long history of human occupation. Not only humans but also human ancestors (Australopithecus afarensi) lived in this area for almost 4 million years.
Today, Serengeti National Park is still home to several indigenous tribes. One of the most famous tribes is the Maasai: this tribe is unique and popular due to their long-preserved culture. Despite education, civilization, and Western cultural influences, the Maasai people have clung to their traditional way of life, making them a symbol of Tanzanian culture.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will descend into the crater and enjoy a game drive in the crater.
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded 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 crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard. You will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.

Late afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha for drop-off.
