Group tour 8 days Tanzania Classic

After loading at Kilimanjaro airport, you will be met by our driver and taken to the hotel in Moshi. Our German-speaking tour guide will provide you with detailed information about the itinerary  and answer any questions you may have. Depending on the time of arrival, you will still have the opportunity to get a first impression of the country and its people.

In the morning, you will set off towards Arusha. If the weather is good, you can catch a glimpse of Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, on the way. After passing Arusha, the journey continues to the East African Rift Valley. From one of the viewpoints, you can look into Lake Manyara National Park. Look out for the monkeys and elephants that live there, which you can spot among the trees. It is also home to large herds of buffalo, zebras, wildebeest and giraffes. The marshy salt lake is also famous for water birds such as flamingos, pelicans and cormorants.

After the first night in a tented lodge, the journey continues towards the Serengeti. You pass the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with its varied vegetation, the small hills, extinct volcanoes and the legendary primeval forests give you a first impression of the diversity of Tanzania. Before we reach Nabi Gate, the entrance to the Serengeti, around midday, we see the first wildebeests and zebras and, with a bit of luck, lions and elephants. In the afternoon there is time for a first game drive in the Serengeti.

This morning, after a night in the center of the Serengeti, the “Seronera Valley”, you will set off on a full-day game drive in the Serengeti. Your driver knows the best places to spot antelopes, reedbucks and baboons. The hippo pool with the gigantic hippos resting on acacia trees Leopards and lions are of course not to be missed either

After breakfast, you will set off for the southern part of the Serengeti. Here, too, you will have the opportunity to take beautiful photos of lions, elephants, the huge herds of wildebeest with the zebras that are always close by and, with luck, you will also see leopards today. You leave Serengeiti through the Nabi Gate and continue towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

After a quiet night on the crater rim, we set off today on an extraordinary game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater has an extension of about 20 kilometers and an animal density that is nowhere higher than here. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to most species of East African wildlife. For example, the endangered black rhino, which is a member of the “Big Five” alongside the buffalo, lion, elephant and leopard! After exciting hours with fantastic game viewing, we continue to Tarangire National Park in the afternoon.

Today our driver will take you back to Kilimanjaro Airport, from where you will fly back to Europe or to your connecting stay in Zanzibar.
