Upgraded Tanzania Safari

Get ready for an incredible adventure through Tanzania, where you’ll have the opportunity to spot the African “big five” and gain insight into the indigenous culture of the Maasai. Encounter the world's largest intact volcanic caldera at Ngorongoro Crater and become mesmerized by the rippling golden plains of the Serengeti. Then, enjoy a country steeped with wildlife and human history spanning nearly two million years as you immerse yourself in a Maasai village and explore the area around the Olduvai Gorge.

Day 2 Arusha/Lake Manyara National Park
This morning take a guided walk through the Mto wa Mbu village where you will visit the local market and meet artisans in their workshops.

Be on the lookout for lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, and other wildlife on our first safari drive in Lake Manyara National Park.

Day 3 Lake Manyara National Park/Serengeti National Park
Today arrive in a Maasai village after driving through the Rift Valley and learn about the G Adventures–supported Clean Cookstoves Project. Experience a presentation by a Massai woman detailing the impact that this project has had in these communities and end with a guided tour of the village. Along the way to our safari camp in Serengeti National Park we will stop at the Olduvai Gorge Museum and Visitor’s Centre.

Day 4 Serengeti National Park
It’s all about safaris today on this visit to one of Africa’s most celebrated wildlife reserves; the Serengeti. Set out on morning and afternoon safaris in a 4x4 through the flowing grasslands. If luck is on your side, spot all of Africa’s “big five” animals before settling in at the Serengeti Wildlife Research Centre to enjoy a talk by one of the visiting researchers.

Day 5 Serengeti National Park/Ngorongoro
Search for more wildlife as you depart the Serengeti in the morning and continue scanning the landscape on the way to our tented camp near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Check a UNESCO World Heritage site off your travel lists while you enjoy the vibrant colours of an African sunset from the viewing deck.

Day 6 Ngorongoro/Arusha
Descend into the green-walled paradise of the Ngorongoro Crater to spot more wildlife on an early morning safari. Ngorongoro also happens to be the largest non-flooded caldera in the world.
