This exciting 8-day Tanzania safari takes you through some of the most iconic national parks in East Africa. From the elephant herds in Tarangire, to the flamingos at Lake Natron, the endless plains of the Serengeti, and the incredible wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater, you will have an unforgettable experience exploring Tanzania’s most famous natural wonders. The cultural visit to Lake Eyasi and wildlife in Lake Manyara add even more unique experiences to this adventure.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), where a friendly Safari Expert representative will warmly welcome you. From there, you will transfer to your accommodation at Lindrin Lodge in Moshi. Relax and enjoy amenities like the swimming pool and Wi-Fi. In the evening, attend a briefing with experienced managers to help you prepare for your climb. Overnight stay includes breakfast.
After breakfast, you’ll meet your guide who will take you to Tarangire National Park, which is about a 2-hour drive from Arusha. Tarangire is famous for its large elephants and giant baobab trees. After you check-in at your lodge, you’ll go on your first game drive to see animals like lions, giraffes, and zebras. In the evening, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner and a good night’s rest.
Today, you’ll spend the whole day in Tarangire National Park. In the morning, you’ll go out to see more animals, like elephants, leopards, and birds. Tarangire is known for having large herds of elephants, so it’s a great place to see these gentle giants. After lunch, you’ll continue your safari, visiting the Tarangire River, where animals come to drink water. In the evening, you’ll return to your lodge to rest.
After breakfast, you’ll leave for Lake Natron, a beautiful, colorful lake near Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai, the “Mountain of God.” The lake is known for its reddish water and is home to many flamingos. You can also take a short walk to see the Natron Waterfalls, which are stunning and a great place to take pictures. After exploring, you’ll stay overnight at a lodge near the lake.
After breakfast, you’ll drive to Serengeti National Park, one of the most famous safari parks in the world. The journey will take a few hours, but you’ll enjoy beautiful views along the way, including seeing the Ngorongoro Crater in the distance. Once you arrive in Serengeti, you’ll go on a game drive to see the “Big Five” – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos. In the evening, you’ll stay at a lodge inside the park.
Today is a full day to explore the Serengeti. You’ll start early in the morning, when animals are most active. You might see lions hunting, or animals drinking from waterholes. Serengeti is famous for its wide open plains, so you’ll also see lots of wildebeests, gazelles, and zebras. After lunch, you’ll continue your game drive, exploring different parts of the park, like Seronera, a place with lots of wildlife. In the evening, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner and rest.
After breakfast, you’ll drive to Ngorongoro Crater, a huge volcanic crater that is home to many animals. This crater is often called the “Garden of Eden” because it has so many animals living together in one place. Once you arrive, you’ll drive down into the crater for a half-day safari. You’ll see lots of animals, including rhinos, lions, buffaloes, and elephants. After lunch in the crater, you’ll drive back up to the rim and stay overnight at a lodge with amazing views.
After breakfast, you’ll head to Lake Eyasi, a special place where you can meet local tribes like the Hadza and Datoga. The Hadza are known for their traditional way of life as hunter-gatherers, while the Datoga are pastoralists, raising cattle. You’ll learn how these tribes live and may even join them in activities like hunting or gathering food. It’s a great chance to experience the real culture of Tanzania. After a full day, you’ll stay overnight at a lodge near Lake Eyasi.
On your last day, you’ll drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, as well as flamingos and many types of birds. You’ll go on a morning game drive to see these animals and enjoy the beautiful landscape around the lake. After lunch, you’ll drive back to Arusha for your return flight or other travel plans.
Start your day with a leisurely breakfast at the hotel. Check out by 11:00 AM, though late check-out may be available for an extra fee. Finally, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your departure, concluding your unforgettable 8 days Tanzania safari.
