Itinerary Highlights
This Tanzanian safari has recently been included in our list of tours and uniquely offers tours to the rugged Lake Eyasi. The first day is spent in the majestic Tarangire National Park, where you have the chance to view ancient baobab trees and large herds of elephants. The following day you will study the local Hadzabe and Datooga tribes, residing in Lake Eyasi. An untouched culture, these tribes live according to ancient customs and traditions, hunting and gathering and living off the land. The third day is spent at the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO heritage site famous for its own ecosystem and endangered animals.

In this park you have the chance to see lots of wild Tanzanian animals (lions, buffalos, giraffes, zebras, etc.), but above all else it is famous for its astonishing number of elephants, who typically tend to stay close to their drinking source, the Tarangire River.
You should be aware that this is wild nature, so the guide cannot make any guarantees on the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will do his best to find everything you’re looking for The Nkeya Tour and Safari team has its own radio channel that the drivers use to communicate to other guides and collaborate on searches for rare species.

Day 4 | Ngorongoro National Park

At 6:30 AM you will set off for Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and after about an hour you will already be inside the crater.
Ngorongoro is one of the most famous and interesting of Tanzania’s national parks because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer.
