Bridge the gap between raw nature and human legacy. This 7-day circuit harmonizes prime wildlife safaris inside Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the iconic Serengeti plains with an authentic, community-guided immersion into traditional Maasai ways of living.
Meet your representative at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Arusha. Relax at the lodge and prepare for the safari.
After breakfast, travel to Tarangire. Explore the Tarangire River, baobab forests, acacia woodland and open grasslands. Possible wildlife includes elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, impalas, warthogs and lions. After your game drive, continue to the farm-style accommodation.
After breakfast, travel towards Ngorongoro and descend into the crater. Spend the day exploring the crater floor, looking for lions, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippos, gazelles and other wildlife. With luck, you may see black rhinoceros. Return to the accommodation after the crater experience.
After breakfast, continue towards Serengeti. Along the way, experience a visit to a Maasai boma. This cultural encounter offers an opportunity to learn about traditional Maasai homes, livestock, community life, traditions and the relationship between the Maasai people and their environment.
Where offered by the community, guests may also experience traditional songs, dances and demonstrations. After the cultural experience, continue towards Serengeti. As you enter the park, the landscape opens into the famous endless plains and your wildlife experience begins.
Spend the entire day exploring Serengeti. Search for lion prides, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas while also watching the huge herbivore populations.
Continue exploring Serengeti. Having another full day allows your guide to search different areas and follow wildlife movements. Depending on the season, you may encounter migration herds.
After breakfast, transfer according to your onward travel arrangements. Your seven-day journey concludes with memories of Tanzania's wildlife, landscapes and Maasai culture.
