Day 1
Day 1
Tarangire or Manyara National Park
Tarangire National park is particularly known for the abundance of Ancient Baobab trees (the largest trees in the continent) which fill the landscape and dwarf the animals next to them. The river of the park is full of wildlife ranging from a large variety of birds to lions, leopards, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and of course, elephants. In fact, the park has the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country and provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families.
The lunch area is fascinating, boasting an observatory with amazing views to the river and wildlife (with good chances of seeing a hunt while having your picnic).
In the afternoon we will still do a game drive before continuing to your accommodation for the night.

Over night at Karatu Simba Lodge

Day 2.
Day 2.
Hadzabe tribe
Today we will leave the lodge at 06:00am after breakfast, today you'll be joining the Hadzabe bushmen for the opportunity to hunt with them.

One of the last true bushman tribes in Africa, the Hadzabe live very much as they always have despite the rapid development of Tanzania. With only 2,000 members, the Hadzabe tribe are a fascinating people who offer us a window into how life in Tanzania was in the past.

After lunch, you'll have the opportunity for a drive around Lake Eyasi proper. While this shallow soda lake is not home to the same variety of wildlife you'll find in a national park, you'll have the chance to spot a variety of bird and mammal life. On occasion, flamingos and hippos even call the lake home.

You'll also have time to meet with the Datoga people. Mostly farmers and cattle breeders, these fascinating people offer another insight into tribal life in Tanzania.

Once your day's activities have been completed, you'll make your way to Serengeti.

Day 4
Day 4
Serengeti National park
On this day, we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then, we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th wonder of the Natural World.

The crater spreads for 102 sq. miles and has 2.000 ft high walls, making it virtually a Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black Rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which, are the largest in the world and have huge tusks.

Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.

Eine tolle Tour! Obwohl meine Unterkunft außerhalb von Arusha lag, hat der Abhol- und Bringservice wunderbar funktioniert. Mein Guide Mpemba hat mir einen interessanten, unvergessenen Tag bereitet. Der Besuch bei den Massai und die Wanderung zu den Wasserfällen haben viel Spaß gemacht. Die Kaffeezubereitung, das Mittagessen und das Bananenbier waren sehr lecker. Vielen Dank!

This was a wonderful experience for our entire family.

Worth every penny! My guide Eliis was fantastic, he had a lot of knowledge about Maasai people and Tanzania in general, and he took some amazing pictures at the hot springs. The Maasai visit was one of the most unique things I’ve done, and they are very welcoming and friendly people

Abbiamo scelto Africapathway per visitare il villaggio Maasai. Milton, il driver, è stato sin da subito molto cordiale e disponibile. Abbiamo passato una bellissima giornata in compagnia dei Maasai imparando molto sulla loro cultura per poi andare alle sorgenti hot springs. Consigliato affidarsi a Africapathway per la loro serietà e disponibilità. Passerete giornate indimenticabili!
