Overview of This Safari Adventure

Discover the heart and soul of Northern Tanzania on this 7-day safari journey through diverse landscapes and cultures. From the bustling gateway town of Arusha to the remote beauty of Mkomazi National Park, the hunter-gatherer tribes of Lake Eyasi, the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater, and the ancient archaeological wonders of Olduvai Gorge — this adventure blends wildlife, culture, and history into one unforgettable experience.

Your adventure begins in Arusha, the safari capital of Tanzania. Nestled at the base of Mount Meru, this vibrant town offers stunning views and a gateway to the Northern Circuit. Enjoy a relaxing start with optional local excursions or cultural encounters.

Next, explore Mkomazi National Park, one of Tanzania’s hidden gems. This dry savannah reserve is home to rare species like black rhinos and African wild dogs. With the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro and the Usambara Mountains, Mkomazi offers unique wildlife viewing in a quiet and remote setting.

Journey onward to Lake Eyasi, where you’ll meet the indigenous Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Experience their traditional lifestyles, join in a bushwalk or hunting expedition, and learn about their customs in one of East Africa's most culturally rich regions.

Your next stop is the majestic Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most biodiverse locations in Africa. Descend into the crater for a full-day game drive where you may see lions, elephants, rhinos, flamingos, and more — all within a collapsed volcanic caldera.

Finally, visit the legendary Olduvai Gorge — the "Cradle of Mankind." Explore this paleoanthropological site where some of the oldest human fossils were discovered, offering deep insight into our shared history.
