Your guide will meet you on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha (45-60 minutes).
Spend the afternoon exploring Arusha's vibrant culture, take a coffee plantation tour, enjoy lunch at the Coffee Lodge, visit Shanga, and more! Or just relax and enjoy the spa and pool at your leisure.
First up this morning, join an experienced local guide on a full-day game drive in Arusha National Park (the first of many on your safari) to look for gentle giraffes, boisterous baboons, colorful flamingoes and big buffalo. Return to the hotel mid-afternoon.
At Tarangire National Park you will experience an unrivalled landscape of open plains, dotted with thousands of baobabs. Not only does the meandering Tarangire River attract a vast number of wildlife, but the Park is renowned for its huge elephant herds, enabling visitors to see entire herds of elephant families.
The Maasai tribe live in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are known for their welcoming dances where the man sings and jumps as high as possible with straight legs, to show how fit and strong they are. The woman stands at the side, singing with the man and doing a special dance for women only. The Masai believe that all the cows in the world belong to them and were given to them by god. The wealth of a family is majored by the number of cows they own. The Masai tribe live in villages (Manyata) and each woman builds a small house (Boma) for her family. The bomb’s structure is made of wood and it is covered by a mixer of mud, wood and sticks, grass, cow dung, human urine, and ash. Traditionally, men wear sheets wrapped around the body. Usually, the main color is red but you can see some blue colors and a paid pattern. Men and women wear ornaments made of colorful beads.
One of the best places in Africa to spot the Big Five – elephants, leopards, lions, buffalo and the rare black rhinoceroses is the ancient Ngorongoro Crater, often called Africa's "Garden of Eden," is home to almost every species in Africa... except the giraffe, which can't negotiate the steep incline down into the caldera but will be seen at the rim of the crater. Game drives and a unique picnic lunch on the crater floor offer ample opportunities to spot lions, cheetahs, hippos and lots of birds.
Serengeti National Park is the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world and boasts the greatest concentration of plains game in all of Africa. Established in 1952, it is home to the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The Park can be divided into 3 sections:
The southern/central part (Seronera Valley) with its classic savannah dotted with acacias and filled with wildlife.
The western corridor is marked by the Grumeti River, and has more forests and dense bush.
The north, which meets with Kenya’s Masai Mara Reserve, is the least visited section.
Today you will once again venture the corners of the mighty Serengeti plains for a full-day game drive, following the great migration and spotting prides of lions, cheetahs, leopards and so much more. Opt-in for a breathtaking hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at dawn (see below)!
