Kilimanjaro/Arusha - Tarangire,Ngorongoro Crater , Central Serengeti National Park
Step beyond the ordinary safari circuit and immerse yourself in Tanzania’s hidden gems. This 8-day adventure blends world-class wildlife encounters with authentic cultural experiences.
From the elephant herds of Tarangire and the birdlife of Lake Manyara, to an eye-opening visit with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes at Lake Eyasi, this journey offers rare insights into Tanzania’s wilderness and traditions. Top it off with game drives across the legendary Serengeti and the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater for the ultimate safari combination.
You will be met at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport by your safari specialist and driver who will brief you on the journey ahead. Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, our experts will be able to answer any questions you have and provide you with all the information necessary for an unforgettable safari experience.
After checking into your chosen Arusha hotel, relax and unwind before enjoying dinner at the hotel or in one of our recommended local restaurants in Arusha town.
After breakfast, you will start your journey to the unique Tarangire National Park. One of the last untouched places on earth, the park is famous for its huge herds of elephants against a stunning backdrop of majestic, ancient Baobab trees. Many of Tarangire’s larger residents follow the rains to greener pastures between November and June.
Wildebeest and zebras join elephants, buffalo, and giraffes to form a wildlife migration second only to the Serengeti/Maasai Mara phenomenon. There are large populations of impala, giraffe, eland, and buffalo. Thompson’s gazelle, hartebeest, boho reedbuck, and both the greater and lesser kudu are also in abundance here.
Lion pride is common throughout Tarangire in terms of predators, as are leopards and spotted hyenas. Packs of wild dogs sometimes pass through as well. After a full day spent exploring Tarangire, at 6pm you will head to your lodge for dinner and overnight rest.
After breakfast, you will depart your lodge and head for Lake Manyara National Park to continue your safari. Lake Manyara lies in the Great Rift Valley and is one of the most beautiful places in Africa. Dramatically bordered by lush green vegetation, upon entering the park you will become captivated by large troops of baboons and blue monkeys swinging from the trees.
Further down, the forest opens up into woodlands, grassland, and swamps, beyond which sits the Soda Lake itself. Home to 350 species of birds including the flamingos, pelicans, sacred ibises, grebes, and storks – it’s easy to see why Lake Manyara is commonly referred to as “the bird watcher’s paradise”.
The most famous spectacle in the park is the tree-climbing lions who spend most of their days lazily relaxing along the branches of Acacia trees 6 – 8 meters above the ground. The park is also noted for its numerous buffalos, elephants, giraffes, impalas, hippos, and smaller animals, which can all be seen in a single day.
After an early breakfast, your driver will pick you up and transfer you to Lake Eyasi to visit the last hunter-gatherers in East Africa – the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes. Step back in time and learn about the realities of daily life in Tanzania’s bush, where the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes grow no food, raise no livestock, live without rules or calendars and rely solely on hunting and the gathering of fruits and berries for their survival.
Watch in amazement as they craft bows and arrows out of animal tendons and wood, extract sap from the Commiphora tree to use as mosquito repellent and make delicious drinks using the fruits of the baobab which are joyfully shared after a successful day of hunting. After an educational day learning about the different cultures of Tanzania, your guide will drop you off at your accommodation in time to enjoy dinner.
It’s an early start to the day, as we set out with the bushmen on their morning hunt. Watch in amazement as local children skilfully climb huge baobab trees and the tribe dance in celebration of their successful catches.
After an educational morning with the tribe, you head back to your accommodation for a late breakfast and to check out. You are then transferred to the Serengeti National Park.
After lunch you will begin your afternoon game drive where you can expect to see large numbers of elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, antelopes, and many exotic bird species. Your drive will end at your chosen camp or lodge where you will relax and rest overnight.

After an early breakfast, you will begin your journey to the stunning Ngorongoro Conservation Area. By lunchtime, you will be descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2- 3 million years ago.
You will enjoy your first game drive around the crater floor, stopping for a picnic lunch at one of the many scenic lunch spots. With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few animals migrate in and out of the crater making it an area with its one of the highest concentrations of wild animals in the world. You’ll be searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many rare birds you might even get to see the ‘Big Five’ all in one day!
After the game drive, you will drive to your reserved accommodation. The rest of the evening can be spent relaxing and enjoying the spectacular views over this prehistoric landscape.
Enjoy breakfast with views over the stunning crater before, departing for Arusha airport, where you will take a flight to your next destination, or transfer to Kilimanjaro airport, if required.
Ask for more information if you wish to stay longer. For a more relaxed pace to your safari and in order to maximize the opportunity of seeing more games in different regions, there is the option to extend your stay by one day.
Comfort safaris can be arranged as private or group tours, depending on your preference and budget.
