After the boat cruise, we take a short drive to Hell’s Gate National Park. Here, we transfer onto bicycles and embarked on a cycling safari into the park. We visit the park’s gorge and cycle back to the gate. From the park, we travele to the Elsamere Museum, the home of Joy and George Adamson, and a fitting tribute to the lives dedicated to the wildlife of Kenya.

Some of the included highlights of our trip will be the Masai Village experience, Masai markets, and scenic drives.

Today, our aim is to explore the park as much as possible, taking time to learn about the wildlife in the area. We will visit the crossing areas where hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras move to greener pastures. This is home to some National Geographic quality sightings, and our guides will go the extra mile to make sure we get the most out of this experience. A full-day drive is on the cards.

Leaving the wildlife behind, today we will take a day’s drive to Africa’s largest water body, Lake Victoria.

It will be a night of rest before we head out into the wilderness again.

Waking up early, we bid farewell to the lake and make our way to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. It is another dream destination that we want to visit as it serves as the home to large prides of lions and a predator’s paradise. Throughout the day, we explore the various loops in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the famous wildlife the park has to offer. We will be spending the next two nights inside the national park, which is one of the highlights of the tour. The Serengeti National Park is a must-see destination because of its magnificent beauty and wild inhabitants.

A full-day game drive is scheduled for today to explore this particular area of the park. Our aim is to cover as much ground as possible and hopefully catch a glimpse of the migration. However, seeing animal life is guaranteed and this place is definitely a must-visit destination in Tanzania.

Included highlights:
– Full-day game drive.

On this day, we travel from Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We take time to enjoy the numerous scenic views en route to the famous crater. The Conservation Area is massive, but the greatest highlight is, of course, descending to its depths to explore the ever-filled hippo pools, the predators of the crater, the natural salt lakes, and the lush forests, with the hope of catching a glimpse of the rare black rhinos that call this place home. We will overnight on the rim at a well-appointed campsite boasting panoramic views of the crater.

Included highlights:
* Masai village
* Scenic landscape drive.

“An early morning to explore the depths of the crater. Today, we will board a 4×4 Game Viewer and descend into the crater at sunrise. This is one of the most remarkable spectacles and should not be missed. We will explore the crater in the early morning hours before returning to the rim. From there, we will travel out of the Conservation Area and head into the village of Mto Wa Mbo. Included highlights: a game drive in the crater.”

Today, let’s take a look at Mto Wa Mbo village and its rice farming that has sustained the village for years. This village is located in Tanzania, a country that comprises over 120 tribes that coexist in peace. After the visit, we will drive for a couple of hours to Lake Natron, an incredibly beautiful but non-touristy place in the country. This lake is home to the highest number of flamingos and pelicans in the world, making it a haven for bird enthusiasts. Later in the evening, we will visit a waterfall before returning to the camp. The itinerary includes a boat cruise on the salt lake, among other highlights.

This morning, we start early to enjoy a boat cruise and explore Lake Natron. It’s a unique beauty in the least visited area of the country. It’s like paradise in a hidden world. After exploring it, we travel back to the village of Mto Wa Mbo since that’s the only access road before heading to our well-appointed camp at the Meserani Snake Park.

“Today, we have a relaxed program as we explore the park and learn about the Meserani Project in detail. We will also take some time to visit the Cultural Heritage, which is the largest curio market on the continent. Close by, there is an Environmental Education project that we are interested in supporting for future generations to learn.”

Leaving Arusha behind, we head towards Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain on the continent. As we travel, we get several views of the mountain while driving towards the Kenyan border. Once we cross the border, we’ll drive to Amboseli National Park for our last wilderness experience of the tour.
