Overview
Itinerary
Hello, adventurers! Get ready to kick off 6 days of unforgettable experiences. First stop: the Shanga Community Project – an inspiring initiative that empowers disabled community members through the art of crafts. Mto Wa Mbu will be our home for the coming two nights (it's also the gateway to some of the best national parks in Africa!). So settle in, grab dinner, and spend some time with your crew. (D) Stay: Migombani Camp (or similar)
Wakey wakey. You guessed it - it's game drive time! We'll head off to our game drive in Tanzania - Tarangire. Famed for its two African giants; the elephant and baobab trees.
This evening, we'll wander around this wonderful lil' town's markets (and possibly get a souvenir or two). Then you have the option to walk through the canopy around Lake Manyara and even spot monkeys! (B/L)
See ya in a bit, Mto Wa Mbu. We've got a couple more places to tick off. Switching to our pop-top safari vehicles, we'll head out on another game drive in search for the Big 5. Was that a lion? ! Oh, it was your tummy grumbling. Fear not - it's time for lunch. Next, one more game drive in the world-famous Serengeti before heading back to our camps for the night. (B/L/D) Stay: Seronera Camp (or similar)
We'll spend a full day seeking out the game of Africa's plains, with predators in hot pursuit of their prey. If the wildebeest migration is around, then you are in for a wildlife treat: millions of wildebeest and zebra grazing for as far as the eye can see really is one of Africa's greatest spectacles to observe. If you want to make today even more unforgettable, you can opt in for a once-in-a-lifetime balloon safari. A buffet dinner awaits us back at our safari camp. (B/L/D)
Another day, another safari. Take in the epicness of our final game drive in this wonderful national park before we head back to Mto Wa Wbu. A Maasai village tour? Mountain biking to Lake Manyara? Canoeing across it? You've got loads of activities to choose from today. Plus, if a night game drive sounds like something you'll love - this is your chance! (B/L/D) Stay: Migombani Camp (or similar)
It's our last day on safari and our last chance for some wildlife viewing. So opt to jump on one last game drive to Lake Manyara National Park? Known for its famous tree-climbing lions (yep, you read that right), Lake Manyara offers a completely different vibe from the other parks we've hit up. Think grassy floodplains, towering forests, and the chance to spot some seriously unique wildlife and birdlife you won't see anywhere else.
And with that, our wonderful, epic, surreal trip has sadly come to an end. With full hearts and memories made, it's time to say fond farewells to your new lifelong friends, and to our African adventure. (B)
