A Taste of Tanzania is a deluxe 7-day fly-in safari showcasing the best of Arusha, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Kogatende. Available year-round, the experience is at its peak from June to November for the Great Migration, though incredible resident wildlife can be observed in every season.
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your Tanzanian adventure begins. Your guide will transfer you to Arusha, a lively gateway town at the base of Mount Meru. Settle in at Katambuga House, enjoy a pre-safari briefing, and relax over a delicious meal before your journey unfolds.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, home to tree-climbing lions, vibrant birdlife, and lush forests. Explore the park’s diverse landscapes before ascending the Rift Valley escarpment, where sweeping views stretch over the ancient terrain. Settle in at Mandhari Lodge, enjoying a sundowner and a peaceful evening.
Depart early for Ngorongoro Crater, a breathtaking volcanic caldera teeming with wildlife. Descend into this natural wonder, where lions, elephants, and rhinos roam freely in a lush oasis. After an unforgettable day of exploration, return to Mandhari Lodge, where you can unwind and take in the panoramic views.
Fly from Manyara to the Serengeti, taking in aerial views of the vast savanna. Upon arrival, meet your guide and transfer to Kaskaz Mara Camp, stopping for wildlife sightings along the way. After lunch, embark on your first Serengeti game drive, tracking predators and herds as the sun sets over the plains.
From June to October, follow the Great Migration to the dramatic Mara River crossings, where wildebeest brave crocodile-infested waters. Outside migration season, explore predator territories and vast, game-rich landscapes. After a day of adventure, return to Kaskaz Mara Camp for fireside stories and a starlit dinner.
During migration season, witness thousands of animals navigating the perilous rivers. In other months, discover the Serengeti’s resident predators, herds, and striking landscapes. After your final game drive, unwind at Kaskaz Mara Camp, reflecting on the wild beauty of your journey.
Enjoy a final Serengeti sunrise before flying back to Arusha. Take in one last aerial view of the plains, reflecting on the incredible sights and experiences of your journey. Arrive in Arusha, marking the end of your safari—but the memories will stay with you forever.
