Tour Overview

Karibu Tanzania (Welcome to Tanzania)! This 6 Days Lake Manyara, Eyasi, Natron, and Ngorongoro Crater Safari brings together adventure, wildlife and local culture. You'll go hunting with the Hadzabe Bushmen, watch the colorful birds of Lake Natron and see the wide range of wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater, all on one trip through some of the most varied corners of Tanzania.

This 6 Days Lake Manyara, Eyasi, Natron, and Ngorongoro Crater Safari takes you to four of Tanzania's most interesting places, each with its own mix of wildlife, culture and scenery:

Lake Manyara National Park – A beautiful park known for its soda lake, where pink flamingos gather, sometimes in very large numbers. Tree-climbing lions, large elephant herds and many kinds of birds live here too, so nature lovers have lots to see.
Lake Eyasi – A shallow, seasonal salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. This is home to the Hadzabe Bushmen, one of the last hunter-gatherer peoples in Africa, and you'll have the chance to join them on a traditional hunt with bows and arrows. It's also a good spot for birdwatching, with flamingos, pelicans and other water birds.
Ngorongoro Crater – Often called the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, it covers 265 sq. km and its walls rise up to 600m. Around 20,000 to 30,000 wild animals live here, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino). With grassland and water all year, it's a great place for wildlife viewing in any season.
Lake Natron – Known for its red water, caused by the lake's high alkalinity, Lake Natron is one of the largest breeding sites for lesser flamingos. Volcanic landscapes surround the lake, and it's a great place for birdwatching and photography.

What Our Travelers Say About Our Tours

Highly Experienced and Wonderful Crew
The 7 days Lemosho route Kilimanjaro trek exceeded our expectations. The route is so beautiful and we enjoyed tackling the mountain with experienced guides - Bakari and Nickson. They were supportive from start to finish in all the aspects of the trek, starting with the technical strategy on the speed, rests and ensuring that we were healthy through regular checks.

Absolutely Beautiful Memories For My Family
Traveling with my 6 members of my family of ages between 8 and 73 is always a complex task with many moving parts. We had to arrange for Mama and Poppas dietary restrictions, accommodations, easy access for Mama and off-course places with a pool and kids activities for Lil Poppa and his teenage sister Anna.

The Best Experience Absolutely
We could not have asked for a better experience on Kilimanjaro. Everything about this trip with this local operator was top notch. Starting with the booking with Naick who made it smooth and easy with his timely responses and advice. Payment was easy and they took care of all the logistics that all we had to do was present ourselves at the KIA.
