Embark on an immersive 6-day journey through Tanzania’s contrasting wonders — from the wild heart of Tarangire National Park to the coastal charm of Bagamoyo, finishing in the lush and remote wilderness of Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous).
Your journey begins in Tarangire, home to majestic baobabs and one of Africa’s largest elephant populations. The park's life-giving river attracts predators and grazers alike, making it an excellent destination for wildlife viewing in a less-crowded environment.
You then transition from bush to coast as you travel to Bagamoyo, an ancient Swahili town brimming with history. Walk narrow streets lined with colonial-era buildings, visit local craft centers, and enjoy the tranquility of the Indian Ocean beaches.
End your safari in Nyerere National Park, one of Africa’s largest protected areas. Known for its rivers, lakes, and wetlands, Nyerere offers incredible boat safaris, walking safaris, and game drives where you may spot lions, wild dogs, hippos, crocodiles, and more.
This safari blends big game viewing, cultural exploration, and water-based experiences — ideal for travelers seeking diversity and depth in their Tanzanian adventure.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro or Arusha Airport, your guide from Origin Ventures will greet you warmly. Transfer to your lodge in Arusha. Depending on your arrival time, you may visit a local craft market or relax at the lodge. Overnight stay in Arusha.
Drive to Tarangire National Park after breakfast. This park is famous for its large elephant herds and dramatic baobab landscapes. Enjoy a full-day game drive with picnic lunch. Wildlife sightings may include lions, leopards, giraffes, and over 500 bird species. Overnight at a lodge in or near Tarangire.
Take a short sunrise game drive in Tarangire followed by brunch at the lodge. Then, head back to Arusha with stops at a local village or coffee farm. Enjoy a cultural walk or relax at your lodge. Overnight in Arusha.
After breakfast, catch a short domestic flight from Arusha to Dar es Salaam. You’ll then be transferred by road to Bagamoyo, a serene coastal town rich in Swahili culture and colonial history. Check into your lodge and unwind on the beach or enjoy an evening walk through the town. Overnight in Bagamoyo.
Depart early for the drive to Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve), one of Africa's largest protected ecosystems. Arrive in time for an afternoon boat safari along the Rufiji River — spotting hippos, crocodiles, and elephants from the water. Overnight at a safari lodge in Nyerere.
