7-Day Tanzania Cultural Experience

You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning to begin your safari in Tarangire National Park. The terrain of this nature reserve is made up of bush savannah, seasonal marshes, and gigantic baobab trees, and the park is undoubtedly one of the greatest spots in East Africa to watch elephants.

They are not only found in thousands, but they also appear to be more acclimated to automobiles, allowing you to get closer to these massive beasts. It is not just the elephants that make this the one-stop answer for both bird and animal lovers, but also a diverse number of creatures such as Masai giraffes, numerous gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 different species of birds.

After the game drive, you’ll depart the park late in the afternoon and drive to the lodge for the night.

Today’s target is Ngare Sero, a traditional Masai settlement in the hot and dusty Rift Valley. You may be able to glimpse the pink light of the flamingos as they breed and feed from afar, and as the sun sets, you will join a Masai guide on a stroll to a nearby waterfall. After taking in the natural splendor of the area, you’ll return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

DAY 3: LAKE NATRON – SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Serengeti means “endless plains” in Massai, and you’ll find the grassy savannah stretching to the horizon with grazing animals strewn about.

Serengeti National Park is a must-see for anybody visiting Tanzania. Because I am the park where the world’s greatest wonder, ” The Annual Migration of Wild Beasts,” takes place, in which millions of animals march in search of fresh pasture and water, disregarding their own lives and the lives of their calves. After your game watching, you’ll spend the night at your lodge in the park’s northern section.

You will drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater after lunch at a picnic location, and as soon as you reach the crater’s edge, the caldera opens up before you.

Apart from giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and impalas on the grassy plains, lions lazing in the trees and elephants munching on acacias in the forests are common sights.
