Day 2. Tarangire National Park

In the morning, after breakfast, we’ll soon set off for Tarangire National Park, the first stop on our adventure. On the way, from the comfort of our vehicle, we’ll get our first glimpse of this fascinating landscape, dotted with Maasai huts. In the distance, we’ll be able to observe their daily activities. In Tarangire, we’ll search for its magnificent and famous elephant herd, as well as the characteristic baobab trees that adorn this spectacular park. At noon, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch inside the park. After lunch, we’ll continue our safari to thoroughly explore every corner, searching for lions, leopards, giraffes, impalas, buffalo, and many more. In the afternoon, as the sun sets, we’ll be transferred to our camp to rest and spend the night. Full-board accommodation at Burungue Tented Camp or Sanwaiwe Tented Camp.

Day 3: Lake Manyara National Park

In the morning, we’ll have breakfast at the lodge and then head to Lake Manyara National Park, where we’ll spend the entire afternoon searching for the famous tree-climbing lions that live there. In this park, we’ll also see large troops of baboons, elephants, zebras, and many other animals. This park is undoubtedly the place to spot birds such as pelicans and majestic flamingos, who, drawn to the water, display their plumage while fishing, creating a pink optical effect visible from a distance. Accommodation with full board at Farm of Dreams Lodge, Karatu Tented Camp, or Nijia Panda Lodge.

Later, we’ll head down for a safari inside the Crater, one of the wonders of the world, where we’ll begin our search for the endangered Black Rhinoceros, which lives alongside more than 25,000 other mammals. We’ll also go on a safari to the Munge River area, where we can see lions with darker manes. At midday, we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch inside the Crater in front of a marsh, watching the hippos bathe. After lunch, we’ll continue our safari en route as we leave the Crater and head to our hotel in the town of Karatu, where we’ll rest and spend the night.

Day 5. Karatu / Tribes – Lake Eyasi / Arusha – Departure

Early this morning, we’ll have a light breakfast of coffee or tea and set out for Lake Eyasi, also known as the land of the Bushmen. Once there, we’ll be joined by a local guide who will help us translate the Bushmen’s complex language, “CLIC.” We’ll spend time with a family to learn about their culture and traditions, and we’ll even have the opportunity to go hunting with them. If we prefer, we can stay with them at their home and help the women with their daily chores. Afterward, we’ll visit another family from the Ndatoga tribe. The Ndatoga are herders in this area and will also share their culture with us. Finally, we’ll watch an ironworker at work, discovering this art form that, though archaic, has endured over the years. Afterward, with our picnic lunch, we’ll head to the town of Arusha and directly to the airport for your departure to Zanzibar. DEPARTURE FLIGHT STARTING AT 5:00 PM.
