Wild Tanzania (6N / 7D)

Overview

Tanzania, a jewel in East Africa, offers an unparalleled wildlife experience that captivates nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. This vast country boasts some of the continent's most iconic landscapes and biodiversity hotspots. At the heart of Tanzania's wild allure is the Serengeti National Park, famous for the Great Migration.

Each year, millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse its plains in a spectacular display of nature's rhythms. The adjacent Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage site, serves as a natural enclosure for diverse wildlife, including the endangered black rhino. Tanzania's wildlife wonders extend beyond these famous sites. Tarangire National Park is renowned for its elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Ruaha National Park, lesser-known but equally mesmerizing, offers a more secluded safari experience with its large predator populations. For primate enthusiasts, the Mahale Mountains and Gombe Stream National Parks provide opportunities to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. The country's eastern coast, including Zanzibar, offers a different kind of wild – with pristine beaches and vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. Tanzania's commitment to conservation is evident in its extensive network of protected areas, covering about a third of its landmass. This dedication ensures that future generations can continue to marvel at the country's natural treasures. From the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro to the golden savannas and azure coastlines, Wild Tanzania promises an unforgettable journey through one of Africa's last great wildernesses.

Itinerary

Day 01 - Arusha Your Tanzanian safari begins as you arrive in Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania's northern safari circuit.

If time permits, you might take a stroll around Arusha's bustling streets, getting a taste of local life. In the evening, enjoy a welcome dinner at your hotel, where you'll be briefed about your upcoming safari adventure.

Day 02 - Arusha to Lake Manyara After breakfast, depart Arusha for Lake Manyara National Park. The drive takes you through the scenic Maasai steppe, dotted with picturesque African villages. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Known for its elephants and tree-climbing lions, the park also boasts a variety of ecosystems, from its soda lake to dense woodlands. Watch for hippos, impalas, and the park's famous flamingos. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Your expert guide will help you spot and identify the diverse wildlife. End the day with a sundowner before dinner at your camp.
