Day 1

Tarangire National Park - Baobabs and elephant herds

Are you ready for your first safari day? After breakfast, your driver-guide picks you up and you begin your journey to Tarangire National Park. During the drive, your guide gives a short safari briefing and answers any questions you may have — this is where your story truly begins.

As you enter the park, huge baobab trees and herds of elephants dominate the landscape. Giraffes browse calmly, while zebras and wildebeest graze across the plains. With some luck, you might spot lions resting in the shade or even a leopard hidden in the branches.

Lunch is enjoyed at a scenic picnic site inside the park. In the afternoon, you continue your game drive, your guide adapts the route to your pace and interests, whether you prefer to cover more ground or spend time observing wildlife at your own rhythm.

At the end of the day, you drive to Heart & Soul Lodge. Relax on the terrace with a drink while the sun sets over the valley and the sounds of the African night slowly surround you.

Day 2

Lake Natron - At the Foot of the Mountain of God

Welcome to Lake Natron, one of Tanzania's most beautiful and unique destinations! Join us on a waterfalls tour and lake walk to discover the stunning natural beauty of this incredible area.

This adventurous hike will take you to the stunning Engare Sero Waterfalls, where you can witness the power and beauty of cascading water. The falls are surrounded by lush vegetation, and the cool misty air provides a refreshing break from the hot African sun. You'll have the opportunity to explore the falls and take some truly amazing photos.

Next, we'll take a walk along the shores of Lake Natron, a shallow salt lake that is home to a variety of unique and fascinating wildlife. Our experienced guides will show you the lake's famous flamingos and explain the lake's fascinating geological history.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 3

Serengeti National Park - Big cats and the open savannah

After breakfast you travel to Serengeti National Park, passing through the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before driving onto the endless plains of the Serengeti.

The Serengeti is one of the world's most famous wildlife destinations. In the afternoon we'll explore the vast plains in search of the Big Five and other animals like cheetahs, hyenas, and zebras. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

Your guide adapts the day to your preferences: a long drive across the plains or a slower rhythm, observing behavior at waterholes and kopjes. Lunch is a picnic in the bush, surrounded by views of the savannah.
As the sun begins to set over the African savannah, it's time to head back to your lodge after a thrilling day of safari adventures. But the experience isn't over yet - the journey back to your lodge can be just as exciting as the game drives themselves. As your vehicle makes its way through the park, you might catch glimpses of wildlife that are more active in the evening hours, such as hyenas or nocturnal birds.

Accommodation Day 3

Serengeti Wild Camp Budget

You'll see lots of animals when you stay at Serengeti Wild Camp. That's because the camp lies in the wildlife-filled central area of the Serengeti, but a little bit away from the other camps in the area. The large safari tents let you watch animals pass by during the day and keep you safe as you listen to the sounds of wildlife at night.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 4

Serengeti National Park

The routes in Serengeti are scenic, with plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the incredible views. Along the way, you'll pass through rugged terrain and open savannahs, with rolling hills and towering rocky outcrops providing a dramatic backdrop. One of the highlights of the journey is the chance to see more wildlife as you can!

Optional Day 4

Early Morning

Rise above Serengeti National Park in the magical light of early morning in a hot-air balloon. The views are simply incredible, and even elephants look like ants from up here.

Day 5

Serengeti -> Ngorongoro

Today you rise early for a sunrise game drive in the Serengeti. The first light of day brings the savannah to life – lions returning from a night hunt, hyenas still active, and leopards that prefer the cooler hours of the morning. The soft light and fresh air make this one of the most rewarding times to be out in the bush.

After several hours of exploring, you slowly make your way back towards the park gate, arriving around midday. Lunch is enjoyed en route before continuing the journey towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The drive itself is part of the adventure, with winding roads, changing landscapes, and wide views over the highlands. In the afternoon you reach your lodge on the crater rim, ready for the next highlight of your safari.

Optional Day 5

Nature walk, Ngorongoro Highlands

Accommodation Day 5

Ngorongoro Wild Camp Mid-Range

Tented camp

At Ngorongoro Wild Camp you're a short drive from Ngorongoro Crater but nicely removed from the busy crater rim area. Accommodation is in elevated safari tents or cottages, and the camp has a swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. Animals, including giraffes, often wander through camp, and the service here is friendly.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater - Wildlife in a natural amphitheatre

Today you descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s most remarkable safari locations. Formed millions of years ago by a collapsed volcano, the crater is now home to a dense concentration of wildlife in a spectacular setting.

As you drive across the crater floor, you’ll encounter a wide variety of animals – from grazing zebras and wildebeest to elephants and buffalo. With some luck, you may also spot the endangered black rhino, one of the rarest species in East Africa. Hippos can often be seen wallowing in the water, while lions rest in the grasslands nearby.

The crater’s enclosed nature makes it a natural amphitheater for wildlife viewing, with dramatic scenery at every turn. Your guide will explain the unique ecology of this area and point out fascinating animal behaviors. After a picnic lunch at a scenic spot inside the crater, you continue your exploration before returning to your lodge in the afternoon.

Day 7

Lake Manyara - Flamingos and tree-climbing lions

Today you drive to Lake Manyara National Park, a compact but incredibly diverse reserve at the foot of the Rift Valley escarpment. In the forested entrance you’ll find troops of baboons and playful blue monkeys, while further on the open plains stretch out towards the shimmering alkaline lake. Here, wildebeest, zebras, and—season permitting—thousands of flamingos bring the landscape to life.

Are you looking for a unique and immersive way to experience the natural beauty of Tanzania's Lake Manyara National Park? Our walking safari is the perfect option for those who want to get up close and personal with the park's incredible wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

In the afternoon we bring you back to your hotel in Arusha or or the airport. Your safari holiday in Tanzania has come to an end. A journey filled with wildlife, culture, and relaxation. As we like to say: Your safari, your story. The memories are yours to take home and share.
