6-Day Tanzania Adventure Safari

Karibu and Welcome to Tanzania. We hope you are as excited to begin your Adventure as we are to showing you beautiful Tanzania. Your representative will be waiting for you with a sign at the airport with the flight details you have provided. You will be given a short trip briefing so you know what to expect on our way to your accommodation of choice.

We will set an agreed upon time in the morning for the beginning of your Adventure. Your Adventure will always begin with a briefing about your trip, some general tips and recommendation by your knowledgeable and professional guide.

Note – All driving times are approximate as weather and animal movements can greatly affect road and driving conditions. We will be in nature after all.

After a nice breakfast, you will begin your journey to Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara is a scenic gem, with a setting that Ernest Hemingway described as “the loveliest I had seen in Africa”. Manyara offers a virtual microcosm of the Tanzanian safari experience with hundreds of baboons and over 400 bird species in its lush jungle like forest.

Serengeti was voted the #1 Safari destination in the world for a reason! Its majestic and awe inspiring beauty is definitely something one should experience in their lifetime. You will be blessed with panoramic views, amazing wildlife and spectacular photos! Serengeti is also the last natural grazing ecosystem in the world and home to The Great Wildebeest Migration, said to be the “greatest wildlife show on Earth”. The Serengeti is said to have over 3 million large mammals and nearly 500 species of birds. It should give you plenty of opportunities to see the “Big 5″ in one day (Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Leopard and African Buffalo)!

We will go and explore the different areas of this magnificent park, one of the 10 Natural Wonder Travels of the World, with its sprawling savanna, short-grass plains and their granite kopjes. You can never spend too much time seeing the vast grandeur of the Serengeti. Optional extras include an unforgettable and scenic Hot Air Balloon ($550 pp)

The UNESCO Heritage site of Ngorongoro Crater is actually the largest unbroken caldera in the world and boasts the most diverse group of animals anywhere. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder and also known as the “cradle of humankind”.

This area gives you a beautiful opportunity to experience a variety of different activities. With another local guide from the area, you have the option of either Canoeing, Biking or Hiking in the Lake Manyara/Mto Wa Mbu region. Here you will get the chance to see local villages, learn about rice, corn and banana plantations, the livelihood of the people, visit a market and even have traditional food and local brew. After the activities, we will start heading towards the airport via Planet Lodge Airport for showering and refreshment before the flight.
