6-Day Tanzania Wildlife & Culture Safari

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha.

Meet your professional safari guide and receive a short safari briefing before departing for Tarangire National Park.

After approximately two hours of driving, arrive at the park and begin your first game drive.

Tarangire is famous for its large elephant population, spectacular baobab trees, seasonal wetlands, and diverse wildlife. During your game drive, keep an eye out for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, impalas, warthogs, and, with some luck, lions and leopards.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated picnic area before continuing your afternoon game drive.

Later in the afternoon, exit Tarangire National Park and continue toward Karatu, a beautiful town located near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Arrive at your lodge, check in, relax, and enjoy dinner.

After breakfast, depart from your lodge and travel toward the remote and beautiful Lake Eyasi region.

Lake Eyasi offers a different side of Tanzania, away from the traditional safari routes. The area is home to communities with distinctive cultural traditions and ways of life.

Depending on local arrangements and availability, you will have an opportunity to participate in a locally guided cultural experience with members of the Hadzabe community.

Learn about traditional hunting and gathering practices, local knowledge of the surrounding environment, traditional tools, and aspects of daily life. The experience is designed as a respectful cultural exchange rather than a staged performance.

You may then visit members of the Datoga community, where you can learn about traditional metalworking, farming, livestock keeping, crafts, and other aspects of their way of life.

Enjoy a locally arranged lunch before continuing your cultural experience.

After breakfast, depart from Karatu and begin your journey toward Serengeti National Park.

Travel through the spectacular landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before reaching the Serengeti.

As you enter Serengeti National Park, begin an en-route game drive.

The Serengeti is famous for its vast open plains and extraordinary wildlife. Depending on the season, you may encounter large herds of wildebeests and zebras as well as lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, and many other species.

Enjoy a picnic lunch during the journey before continuing your game drive toward your accommodation.

Arrive at your camp in the late afternoon or early evening.

Enjoy dinner and relax around the campfire while listening to the sounds of the African wilderness.

Wake up early and enjoy breakfast before setting out on a full-day game drive.
