Safari summary
TANZANIA WILDLIFE AND CULTURAL SAFARI
Explore Tanzania's northern circuit Safari parks. You'll start in Lake Manyara National park, right at the edge of the great Rift Valley and the Ngorongoro Highlands. Or, we can adjust the itinerary to visit Tarangire National park instead of Lake Manyara or instead of Serengeti (prices may vary up or down). Then, explore the famous Ngorongoro Crater, an intact volcanic caldera home to many animals including the elusive rhino. From Ngorongoro you will head to Serengeti for 3 nights with plenty of time to explore the endless plains covered with wildlife. Finally, visit Lake Eyasi for two nights so you can visit and learn from – and maybe even go hunting with – the Hadzabe hunter/gatherer tribe. You'll also visit the DaToga tribe here, a polygamous herding culture. Your cultural safari can be rounded out with a visit to the Maasai tribe at some point during the trip. Return to Arusha to finish your safari and perhaps consider a coast or island extension. Please note the lodging or order of the itinerary may vary based on availability and seasons, and this may impact price.
