6-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari with Hadzabe Visit and Olduvai Gorge

• Drive from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park, which takes about 4 hours.

• After a picnic lunch in Manyara, start a late afternoon game drive with your Tanzanian safari guide. This is the best time to view animals in the park.

• As you approach the park from the east, the Rift Valley escarpment looms on the horizon, forming an impressive backdrop to the lake. In the tall trees of the groundwater forest, monkeys leap from branch to branch, while elephants stand in the shade on the escarpment. Other animals frequently seen here include zebras, impalas, monkeys, giraffes, buffalos, hippos, and more.

• Head to Flamingo Safari Campsite or a similar campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.

Lunch and dinner included.

• After breakfast, drive from Flamingo Safari Campsite to Lake Eyasi.

• On the way, stop to visit the Hadzabe bushmen, who are among the last hunter-gatherers in the world.

• At Lake Eyasi, see abundant birdlife, while the meadows along the lake shores and the forest are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including leopard, hippos, several species of monkeys, various birds, greater and lesser flamingoes, storks, and pelicans.

• Drive back to Panorama Hotel or a similar hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

• Drive to Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge, which takes 3 to 4 hours. Olduvai Gorge is an archaeological site located in the eastern Serengeti plains where early human fossils were first discovered. It has an amazing landscape shaped by the same tectonic forces that created the Great Rift Valley millions of years ago.

• Late in the evening, arrive for your overnight stay at Nguchiro Campsite.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

• After breakfast, venture into Serengeti's wilderness corners for a full day of game viewing in the park.

• With a picnic lunch, take your leisure time exploring this World Heritage Site, where the earth's largest concentration of plain game still roams free.

• In the late evening, return to Nguchiro Campsite for dinner and your overnight stay.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.

• After breakfast, go to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive inside the crater. This is the best place in Tanzania to see black rhino, as well as prides of lions that include magnificent black-maned males. Along with the animals, you will also find many colourful flamingoes and a variety of water birds. Other animals you may see include leopard, cheetah, hyena, other members of the antelope family, and small mammals.

Dinner and overnight at Simba Public Campsite or a similar campsite.

All meals included.

• After breakfast, head to Tarangire National Park, which takes about 2 hours. This park is spectacular in the dry season, when many migratory wildlife species return to the permanent waters of the Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands, and oryx gather in Tarangire until the onset of the rains, when they migrate again to better grazing areas.

• In the evening, drive back to Arusha.

Breakfast and lunch included.
