WILD TANZANIA
OVERVIEW
Journey Into the Wild Soul of Tanzania
This journey takes you through some of Tanzania’s most iconic parks—Tarangire, Ngorongoro, the Serengeti, and Lake Manyara. Each one has its own rhythm, its own feel.
You’ll travel through baobab country, descend into an ancient crater, cross the open plains of the Serengeti, and explore the lakeshore forests of Manyara. It’s an eight-day trip built for those who want to go beyond the surface—guided by people who know the land, staying in places that feel connected to it.
ACCOMODATION STYLE
Tarangire
ARRIVAL
A member of our team will welcome you on arrival as you’re given time to settle in, breathe out, and ease into the rhythm of the journey. It’s a soft landing—just enough space to shift gears and take in where you are.
DAY 1
Early morning, your guide meets you and the journey begins. Tarangire opens up with its wide dry riverbeds, scattered baobabs, and quiet elephant paths. The pace is unhurried—this is a place best taken slowly. As the day winds down, you’ll rest and reflect, surrounded by the quiet of the bush.
DAY 2
You’ll spend the full day exploring Tarangire—a park known for its elephants, yes, but also for its stillness, its birdsong, its unexpected moments. By sunset, you’ll return to camp dusty, full-hearted, and quietly changed.
Lake Manyara
DAY 3
An early start takes you along the edge of the Great Rift Valley, where the land begins to shift and the air carries the scent of dust and forest. By mid-morning, you arrive in Lake Manyara National Park—a place often passed by, but never forgotten.
Manyara is a park of layers. There’s the dense, green hush of groundwater forest. Open grasslands where buffalo and zebra graze. Flamingo-stained lake shallows. And, if luck leans your way, a lion sprawled in the crook of a tree.
It’s not a place to rush. You’ll move slowly, guided by what the day offers—an elephant crossing the track, a flash of kingfisher blue, the stillness that settles in when the wild feels close.
By sunset, the sounds of the bush will linger, and you’ll carry a quieter kind of wonder with you.
Ngorogoro Crater
DAY 4
Ngorongoro, where the land climbs and the air cools. The road leads through open highlands and rolling hills dotted with Maasai homesteads, before bringing you to the edge of something ancient.
Standing at the rim of the crater, it’s hard not to pause. Below lies a world of its own—grasslands, forests, swamps, and salt flats, all held within the collapsed walls of an old volcano. You’ll descend into the crater for a day on the floor, where wildlife moves through the landscape as if time hasn’t touched it.
Expect moments of stillness and surprise—lions in the grass, flamingos clustered at the water’s edge, elephants picking their way through the trees.
By late afternoon, you climb back up the rim, leaving behind the quiet theatre of one of Africa’s most extraordinary places.
Central Serengeti
DAY 5
The journey to the Serengeti begins early, leaving the cool highlands behind as the land opens wide and the horizon stretches endlessly ahead.
As you travel, the landscape shifts—from scattered Maasai bomas to open plains dotted with acacia trees. The Serengeti slowly unfolds, and with it, the wildlife: a lone giraffe, zebra on the move, vultures gliding on warm air above.
DAYS 6 - 7
You’ll spend these days immersed in the vast, ever-shifting landscapes of the Serengeti. Mornings begin early, with soft light over the plains and the first stirrings of life—zebra grazing, hyenas heading in, lions stretched out in the cool.
Game drives are unhurried, guided by instinct and experience—following tracks, birdsong, or a flicker in the grass. By midday, you pause to rest and take in the quiet, then head out again as the light softens and the bush stirs once more.
There’s no set path—just time, space, and the freedom to follow the day as it unfolds. This is the Serengeti on its own terms.
DAY 8
This morning, you’ll make your way to the Seronera Airstrip for your flight back to Kilimanjaro.
