1Arusha Region
Welcome to Tanzania!

The remainder of the day is flexible, depending on your arrival time. If you arrive early, you will have time to relax before we offer an optional city tour. This is a great opportunity to experience local life, explore bustling markets like the Maasai Market, central food market and see key landmarks like the Clock Tower and the Cultural Heritage Centre.

Accompanied by an armed ranger, this 1 to 1.5-hour stroll offers a thrilling perspective on the bush that you can't get from a vehicle.

With no rush to travel elsewhere, we have the luxury of spending more time at significant sightings, capturing the perfect photos of the diverse wildlife. After a final picnic lunch in the wild, we continue our game drive through the afternoon, soaking in the endless horizons that make this park a World Heritage site.

We spend approximately five hours on a high-intensity game drive within the crater floor, offering your best chance to spot the rare Black Rhino alongside massive bull elephants, prides of lions, and colorful flamingos on Lake Magadi. After a picnic lunch in this natural wonder, we ascend the steep crater walls and drive to the nearby town of Karatu.
