Offbeat Northern Tanzania

Arusha

The journey starts in Arusha city, the safari capital of Tanzania.

You will be met by us at the airport and enjoy the first evening in an elegant lodge, surrounded by coffee plantations and great views of Mount Meru. In this stylish place you enjoy a snack and a drink at the sound of crickets and birds in the beautiful tropical garden.

Arusha NP

Enjoy a beautiful day in Arusha National Park. Known for the Colobus monkeys, beauty and views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Meru.

Tarangire

After breakfast you will depart for Tarangire National Park and arrive at an authentic tented camp in the Randilen Game Management Area on the edge of the park, where you will check into your tent suite before lunch.

The afternoon is spent on activities in the area, including a cultural visit to the Maasai and a jeep safari. Before returning to camp for an early dinner, you will enjoy a nice sunset drink. But after dinner you will head out again for a night safari.

The next day is all about safari in the Tarangire National Park. The picnic basket will not be missed on this authentic safari.

Lake Eyasi

After breakfast you drive to Lake Eyasi, a soda lake in the middle of volcanic mountains. This is where the original Hadzabe live, an ancient tribe of hunters.

During the day you arrive at a genuine green oasis on the lakeshore, in an otherwise arid area. The luxury tented camp guarantees top service.

You will go out with the Hadzabe these days and learn everything about their culture and way of life. But there is also plenty of time to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The view from the rock at sunset is a true magical moment.

Ndutu

Today you say goodbye to the Hadzabe and later that day you arrive in the beautiful Ndutu area. You will pass the Ngorngoro Highlands, an area where the Maasai live. The next day you will enjoy a game drive in Ndutu, to the South of Serengeti National Park. Known for the groups of cats that stay here year round.

Serengeti NP

After breakfast you will continue with your safari in Serengeti National Park. Serengeti literally means ‘endless plains’. You’ve probably never been able to see that far in your life. Lions, cheetahs, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, warthogs, gazelles… you’re going to see it all.

You will spend the night in a part of the park where few visitors come. The luxury tented camp is located on a river gorge, where a lot of game can be found all year round.

Back home

In the morning you fly from North Serengeti with a domestic flight to Arusha. With good visibility you can look from a great height over the beautiful and wide landscape and sometimes even see the animals passing by below you.

You will have lunch in the tropical garden of an attractive former colonial farm with a large pond. Here you also have the opportunity to relax before you are picked up in the evening for your return flight from Kilimanjaro Airport back home, where you will arrive the next morning.

… Unless you opt for an extension of your safari on one of the tropical islands in the azure blue Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania, where tourism is still in its infancy.
