This tour includes a 10 Days Safari Adventure in an off-road vehicle to the five most famous and in flora and fauna very different national parks in Northern Tanzania and the protected area at Lake Eyasi. On this safari you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Arusha National Park, Serengeti National Park and Tarangire National Park. In addition, this safari also visits Lake Eyassi with Tanzania's last bushmen, the Hadzabe.
This tour is specifically designed for Tanzanian travellers who have enough time to see all the famous northern parks in Tanzania and the areas around Lake Eyassi and Lake Natron. You will find that this safari is truly a highlight of safaris as you get to see one of the greatest variety of landscapes and wildlife that East Africa has to offer.
You will spend a lot of time in the parks and reserves on this safari, as the transfer distances between the individual parks are quite short by African standards. You can also start your game drives very early in the morning, as your accommodation is either in the park or in the immediate vicinity of the park.
Transfers from Kilimanjaro airport or Arusha bus station to the hotel in Arusha and back, as well as two nights' hotel accommodation in Arusha and all fees are included in our Special Offers, unless otherwise stated.
All our safaris are conducted in small groups of 2-7 people and each guest is guaranteed a window seat in the vehicle. As our contingent is limited, we recommend that you book early, especially during the high season.
On all our safaris, we take care of your physical well-being and your restful sleep. You can choose between three types of accommodation: Camping-only safari, lodge-only safari or tented camp-only safari. These overnight options can also be mixed and matched according to your personal preference.
With the camping option, you will sleep on camping beds in simple campsites in tents as high as a man. During the safari you will be accompanied and fed by your personal safari cook.
In the lodge and tented camp option, you will be looked after by the staff of the lodges and camps.
You will travel in off-road vehicles and all our vehicles have roof hatches or elevating roofs which allow a better view of the African wildlife especially in high vegetation.
On safari you will be driven by a well-trained English-speaking driver who will also act as your guide. On the camping and mixed safaris you will also be accompanied by a cook who will prepare each meal fresh for you at the campsites.
For an additional charge, you can also book a higher-quality hotel in Arusha for this safari in the camping variant.
