Arusha to Tarangire National Park-Home of Elephants and Iconic Baobabs

7:30 AM: After a tasty breakfast, you’ll head off to the lovely, quiet Tarangire National Park. It’s a huge park, with a diverse concentration of wildlife especially between July and October when the Tarangire River is in full flood. If you love elephants, then this is the park for you. You’ll never forget your first siting of the majestic African elephant, the largest land mammal in the world; and at Tarangire, herds of these beautiful, intelligent creatures wander at leisure, looking after their young. But you’ll also see a dizzying variety of wildlife including lions, giraffes, warthogs, ostriches, impalas, cheetahs, mongoose, buffalos, and baboons.
The birdlife is magnificent, too, and you’ll catch the flash of a red-and-yellow barbet, or gaze on the slow circling of the tawny eagle.
1:00 pm: You'll enjoy a picnic lunch at the picnic site.
5:00 pm: You'll drive to your lodge. You’ll have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the African evening while enjoying a tasty dinner.

Lake Natron- Explore the Alkaline Lake- Waterfalls and Flamingos

7:30 am: After a yummy breakfast, you’ll depart for Lake Natron, which is famous for its salinity and the unique consequences of this. The microorganisms that prefer an alkaline environment cause the lake’s russet tone. You’ll see salt-crust rafts scattered in the shallows. Over half the world’s lesser flamingoes are born in the lake, and you are likely to see clouds of shimmering pink as the flamingoes settle and stalk on the still waters. You’ll explore a curious terrain of salt marshes and freshwater wetlands with its unique flora, leading to sparkling waterfalls. The lake is framed by the incredible Oldoinyo Lengai (Mountain of God in Maa, the language of Maasai people), an active volcano that carves out hornitos —incredible statues made of cooled lava. (We can arrange a climb up Oldoinyo Lengai —it’s an extra day to your adventure. Just ask us when you book!) You’ll spend the evening watching the sun set pink and gold over this incredible landscape.

Ngorongoro Crater-A Geological and Wildlife Marvel

6:30 am: You’ll be up early in a world etched in the pink and apricot rays of African dawn because early mornings are the best time to spot the animals – especially the Big Five. But don’t worry; you’ll have a filling, healthy breakfast before you set off! The volcanic landscape is rich and fertile and attracts thousands of grazing animals and their predators. The high walls of the crater form a protective shelter for many animals and prevent migration, so the diversity is dizzying. You’ll spot zebra, wildebeest, and cackling hyenas, amongst others. After a busy morning, you’ll enjoy a leisurely picnic lunch near a pond full of hippos and then gaze on the sites at Soda Lake: the flocks of graceful flamingos as well as storks, ibis, and crane.
In the afternoon, you’ll set off for Lake Eyasi, in time for a peaceful sunset walk at the lakeshore before a well-deserved rest at the lodge.

Lake Eyasi-A Sacred Space Between Nature and Culture

Lake Eyasi is a special place; it’s the home of one of the world’s ‘Last community of hunter-gatherers’ and 'Groups of baboons. The Hadzabe bushpeople grow no food, raise no livestock, and live without rules or calendars. They live a hunter-gatherer existence that is little changed in 10,000 years. You’ll be able to watch the Hadzabe traditional methods of survival, including how they hunt; and you can be sure nothing is hunted that is not used in its entirety.
The Hadzabe way respects the land and all of its inhabitants and you’ll find beauty and peace in their way of life. After lunch, you’ll journey to Karatu Town for an overnight stay.
You’ll spend the evening reflecting on your adventures so far, and relaxing with a drink as you listen to the calls of the evening.

Discovering Lake Manyara National Park and the Maasai Boma-Arusha

Another early start fueled by a decent breakfast to spot the wildlife as they are starting their day. Lake Manyara National Park nestles at the foot of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, and is a patchwork of diverse landscapes:

This park is famous for elephants and for its tribes of baboons, who swoop and call each other and never seem to stop for breath. It’s also home to legendary tree-climbing lions as well as powerful water buffalos, majestic African elephants, giraffes, impalas, and hippos. With over four hundred species of dazzling birds, some of which are migratory, it’s a birdwatcher's paradise. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the heart of the park, to the calls of the birds and the buzzing of insects while the sun turns everything to gold. After more wildlife spotting, you’ll say goodbye to the Lake and drive through Maasai bomas, baobab forest, and rolling savannah plains en route to Arusha or dinner and overnight stay.
