Tour Overview

Karibu Tanzania (Welcome to Tanzania)! This 7 Days Eyasi, Natron, Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater Safari brings together adventure, wildlife and local culture. You'll go hunting with the Hadzabe Bushmen at Lake Eyasi, look for the Great Migration in the Serengeti and explore the Ngorongoro Crater with its huge variety of wildlife. It's a full week in some of Tanzania's best-known places.

This 7-day safari takes you to five of Tanzania's best-known and most varied wildlife areas, each with its own landscapes and animals:

Tarangire National Park: Tarangire is known for its many elephants and its baobab-dotted landscapes. In the dry season the Tarangire River becomes the main source of water, so large herds of elephants, zebras and wildebeest come to drink, and predators follow them. Bird lovers will enjoy it here too, with over 500 bird species.
Serengeti National Park: The Serengeti is world-famous for its huge numbers of animals, especially the big cats, and for the Great Migration, when 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles move across the plains. The open savanna is a great place to look for lions, leopards, cheetahs and more.
Lake Eyasi: Lake Eyasi is a seasonal salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, where you may see hippos and birds such as flamingos and pelicans. 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.
Ngorongoro Crater: Often called the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, the Ngorongoro Crater covers 265 sq. km with walls up to 600m high. Around 20,000 to 30,000 animals live here, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo), along with hippos, hyenas and flamingos on the crater's soda lakes.
Lake Natron: Lake Natron is known for its red water, caused by high alkalinity, and is one of the largest breeding sites for lesser flamingos. The volcanic land and rock formations around it make a striking setting 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.
