Safari summary

Our Wilderness and Culture Safari is a combination of conventional activities that one expects to do when in Africa and connecting with the native people. Tarangire National Park is home to a large population of elephant herds and colossal baobab trees are scattered across the plains of the savannah. We will proceed to the Maasai Steppe – a landscape that encompasses a vast range of woodlands and magnificent peaks. It is located between Arusha and Tarangire National Park and it is home to the infamous Maasai tribe. We will stop at one of the Maasai villages where we will have the opportunity to marvel at the colourful garments of the locals and discover their ancient traditions. We will also get an insight of their habitual duties and roles. Our descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, which has been awarded the title “Africa’s Garden of Eden”, is another highlight on the fixture. This magnificent scenery is paired with an abundance of species making it the ideal spot for a game drive.

Ngorongoro Crater to Maasai Steppe

Ngorongoro Crater

Migration in and out of the crater is infrequent due to its elevated structure which means there is a high chance of spotting every member of ‘The Big 5’. This powerful group comprises of buffalo, lions, elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards. Nearly three million years ago a colossal volcano exploded and the crater was moulded into the spectacular shape we witness today. You can also expect to encounter zebra, hippo, wildebeest and hyena roaming around the caldera.

Fanaka campsite

Maasai Steppe to Arusha

We will travel to the Maasai Steppe for the final element of your journey. You will share a cultural experience with the most renowned tribe in East Africa – the Maasai. The Maasai are highly fascinating due to the fact that they have preserved their culture and still uphold the values of their ancestors. We will have a chance to witness a ritual performance that includes singing and dancing. After an exhilarating day spent with the Maasai tribe we will drive back to Arusha. T
