This beautiful park is famous for its green surroundings, lakes, unique sights and its black-and-white colobus monkeys.

Lake Natron | Impressive Landscape

Lake Natron | Impressive Landscape

After breakfast at the lodge, it is time to continue your safari adventure! Today, you will enjoy a road trip to Lake Natron. The drive will take up to 4 hours and will take you along Tanzania's ever-changing landscapes. From the lush green vegetation around the Great Rift Valley, the environment will slowly change into dry, arid and dusty landscapes.

The closer you get to Lake Natron, the more you will see remains of old volcanoes rise around you - it seems almost unearthly! You will drive by one of the few active volcanoes, Ol Doinyo Lengai, which means "The Mountain of God" in the Maasai language.

While here, you can choose from a couple of activities such as a flamingo walking tour, a visit to a waterfall, mountain climbing, or a visit to a Maasai boma. Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring your swimsuit, as you will get the chance to take a refreshing dip once you arrive at the waterfall!

Lake Natron
Accommodation:
Africa Safari Lake Natron (Safari Comfort Bungalow)

Serengeti means "endless plains" in the Maasai language, and this rightly describes it. With almost 15,000 sq km (6,000 sq miles), Serengeti National Park is the second-largest park in Tanzania. Meals and your overnight stay are at the camp.

Day 6-7

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will start the safari by being transferred to the central part of the Serengeti (also called Seronera). Here, your driver will try to find the animals you're most interested in. Close to lunchtime, you will visit the Serengeti Visitor Centre, where you will be offered a lunchbox and provided with lots of interesting information not only about the animal populations, but also about the history of the national park. Also, in this area, you will be able to see hyraxes, which are the elephant's closest relatives.

It is difficult to describe in detail all the animals of the Serengeti plains, for they number in the thousands; elephants, buffalos, ostriches, giraffes, jackals, hyenas, lions, antelopes, leopards and cheetahs. Keep your eyes peeled and enjoy the nature around you.

In the evening, you will be transferred to a lodge where you will have dinner and rest.

Day 8

The Black Rhino Spot Experience

The Black Rhino Spot Experience

After breakfast at the lodge, we will proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro National Park supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephant. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of hippos, flamingos, and other waterbirds can usually be seen here.

You will have dinner and overnight as per the standard and type of accommodation option requested.

Main Destination:
Ngorongoro Crater
Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
High Season Most of the year – July to March (Expect crowds)
Best Weather June to October (Rainfall is little to none)

Day 9

The Hadza and Datoga Experience

The Hadza and Datoga Experience

In the morning, depart on a guided cultural tour of the Hadzabe’s location at Lake Eyasi to learn about and experience their way of life. You may want to join the Hadzabe Bushmen on a hunting demonstration by these proud people who mostly live on hunting and gathering wild fruits and roots.

Amongst the world’s last remaining hunter-gatherer community inhabiting the scrubby bushland, Hadzabe men search for food alone and return home with golden honey, sweet fruit, or hearty wild game when available.

Their language is similar to Southern Africa’s Bushmen, who speak the Click language. Their language is believed to still have clicks and pops like no other “click language”. You will also have the opportunity to visit a blacksmith tribe of the Datoga, where different ornaments are made.

In the afternoon, visit Lake Eyasi. Dinner and your overnight stay are at the lodge.

Lake Eyasi
Accommodation:
Kankari Lodge
