6-Day Tanzania Safari with Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel, where you will meet your guide, chef, and the other clients joining the tour. Then we will drive to Tarangire National Park, a journey of about 2 hours. The park is famous for its diverse landscape.

We will enjoy a game drive through the park, depending on reported animal sightings, especially predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, which are harder to spot. Later, we will head to the Tarangire River picnic site and enjoy the beautiful view of the river and animals while having lunch. After lunch, we will continue with the game drive and exit the park at around 4:30 pm, then head to our accommodation at Fig Tree Lodge & Campsite for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, we will drive from our accommodation in Mto Wa Mbu to Serengeti National Park, a journey of about 6 hours including all stops, as we transit through the Ngorongoro Crater area.

We will briefly stop at the gate and viewpoint to take in the breathtaking view of the crater. Afterward, we will continue to Serengeti National Park. We will arrive in the late afternoon and enjoy a game drive in Seronera, the center of Serengeti, until late evening, where we will experience the spectacular Serengeti sunset. We will then head to our Seronera Campsite for an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, we will go on an early game drive to see many animals. In the afternoon, we will return to our campsite for lunch before heading out again for an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti.

Once the game drive is finished, we will make our way to Simba Campsite, about a 2-hour drive away, where we will have dinner and spend the night near the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

After an early breakfast, we will descend into the crater at 6:15 am on a journey to find the black rhino, as rhinos are the hardest animals to spot in this beautiful crater. Most animals are fairly easy to see here because it is a floor crater.

After lunch, we will continue with a game drive, then ascend the crater and head towards Fig Lodge & Campsite, where we will have dinner and spend the night.

After breakfast, we will go to Lake Manyara National Park, which is famous for its large number of flamingoes in the lake and its tree-climbing lions. We will embark on a game drive to view plenty of animals and birds and visit the hippo pool for a close look at the hippos.

You should expect to see buffaloes, wildebeest, warthogs, vultures, eagles, monkeys, and more here. In the evening, we will drive to Arusha for an overnight stay.

Today you will enjoy a day surrounding the famed Mount Kilimanjaro. Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe and a great authentic tribal village lying just outside Kilimanjaro National Park.

First, we will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga and village life, and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will also see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim, so don't forget your swimwear.

After enjoying the scenery, you will slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You will also have the opportunity to taste the local banana beer, which is not to be missed.

Next, the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances - a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture.

After the tour, we will drop you off back at your accommodation or the airport, depending on your flight time.

Departure transfer back to your accommodation or Kilimanjaro Airport, Tanzania.
