đź“ť Overview
This 9-day safari experience takes you deep into the Northern Tanzania circuit — with game drives through world-renowned parks like Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro, plus a visit to the dramatic and less-explored Lake Natron, home of flamingos and surreal volcanic landscapes. Combine iconic wildlife with raw scenery, Maasai culture, and magical moments.
đź“… Itinerary
Arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfer to your lodge in Arusha. Relax, meet your guide, and get briefed on the adventure ahead.
Start the safari with a drive to Tarangire, known for giant elephant herds and dramatic baobab-studded landscapes. Enjoy a full-day game drive with picnic lunch before overnighting at a tented lodge nearby.
Continue to Lake Manyara for a game drive through the groundwater forest and lake edge — spot monkeys, tree-climbing lions, and hippos. In the afternoon, visit Mto wa Mbu village for cultural experiences. Overnight in the Karatu highlands.
Drive through the remote Maasai land toward Lake Natron, with views of Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano. Arrive by afternoon and walk to the nearby Engaresero waterfall, then enjoy a lakeside sunset among flamingos. Overnight in a rustic camp with volcanic views.
Early morning nature walk along Lake Natron to observe flamingos and unique mineral formations. Optional: short trek toward Ol Doinyo Lengai foothills. After lunch, relax or explore nearby Maasai bomas. Overnight stay in the same camp.
Leave early for a long but scenic drive into Serengeti via the wild northern corridor. Enter the park through Klein’s Gate and enjoy an evening game drive in the remote northern plains. Overnight at a tented lodge.
Spend the entire day in Serengeti tracking lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, and more. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush and sunset over the plains. Return to camp for dinner and a night under the stars.
After a morning game drive, travel to Ngorongoro via the southern Serengeti. Stop for views along the way and rest overnight on the crater rim with spectacular sunset views.
