A guided walk from Materuni to the Kuringe Waterfalls is an ideal choice for visitors who wish to experience the charm of Mount Kilimanjaro without attempting a full climb. With Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, a local guide will lead you on a scenic 40-minute hike to a breathtaking 70-meter waterfall. Situated at an elevation of about 2,500 meters, the trail winds through lush valleys and dense tropical rainforest, offering alternating views of sweeping landscapes and fertile plantations brimming with coffee, banana, and avocado trees.
Today marks your first real game drive with Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, as you explore the stunning Arusha National Park. Located just outside Arusha, this park is famous for its rich variety of tropical birds, the striking black and white Colobus monkeys, and occasionally, rare albino baboons. Keep your eyes peeled for the Colobus monkeys swinging through the trees and for unique bird species like the magnificent Silvery-cheeked Hornbill. With a bit of luck, you might even spot an albino baboon! The park’s diverse landscape features serene lakes, volcanic craters, cascading waterfalls, majestic mountains, and lush open grasslands — a perfect introduction to Tanzania’s natural beauty.
Tarangire National Park is famous for its large herds of elephants and the impressive baobab trees that dominate the landscape. These ancient trees, which can live for centuries, serve as a vital water source for elephants during the dry season, as they skillfully extract moisture from the trunks. The Tarangire River, being the only reliable water source during this time, attracts huge gatherings of wildlife — with herds of up to 250 elephants alongside countless other animals. Experience this incredible natural spectacle with Tanzania Wildlife Voyages.
Lake Manyara National Park is situated between Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, along the dramatic 400-meter-deep Great Rift Valley escarpment. This compact park features diverse habitats that draw a wide range of wildlife. With Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, you can explore the vast lake that makes up nearly 75% of the park, wander through lush rainforest teeming with birds and monkeys, and encounter elephants at close range in the woodland areas.
Mto wa Mbu is a charming village located near Lake Manyara National Park, distinguished as a lush green haven amidst the vast Maasai plains. Experience the local culture while exploring the vibrant village, its fertile landscapes, and expansive banana plantations by mountain bike. Afterwards, dismount and head to a nearby Maasai settlement, where Maasai community members will share insights into their traditional lifestyle. This excursion is offered by Tanzania Wildlife Voyages.
Situated in northern Tanzania, just beyond the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Natron is truly one of a kind. Famous for its vivid red hue, this alkaline lake is a dream destination for photographers — especially between August and October, when thousands of flamingos turn the waters an even deeper shade of pink. The shimmering heat rising over the dry, dusty plains, the glassy surface of the lake, and the volcanic mountains framing the horizon together create a raw, surreal landscape you won’t soon forget. Tanzania Wildlife Voyages frequently guides travellers to witness this extraordinary natural wonder.
Serengeti National Park is famously regarded as a must-visit safari destination, especially for witnessing the Great Migration that sweeps across its plains. The sight of massive, thundering herds is awe-inspiring, and the park is also home to an incredible array of predators: over 4,000 lions, 225 cheetahs, 1,000 leopards, 3,500 hyenas, and hundreds of wild dogs! Plus, countless other stunning wildlife species await, and your guide from Tanzania Wildlife Voyages will be thrilled to help you spot them all. Are you ready for the adventure?
The iconic Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s seven natural wonders, was created two million years ago by a massive volcanic eruption. Its rich volcanic soil has given rise to a unique ecosystem, hosting the densest concentration of wildlife anywhere in Africa! Inside the crater, you’ll encounter thousands of animals—from lions and zebras to buffalo and black rhinos—while breathtaking views surround you at every turn. Experience it all with Tanzania Wildlife Voyages.
The Empakaai Crater sits roughly 40 kilometres northeast of the renowned Ngorongoro Crater, in an area that feels strikingly remote and untouched. From the crater’s rim, it takes around 45 minutes to descend on foot to the lake nestled at the bottom. Often blanketed by large groups of flamingos, the lake gives off a soft pink glow. The vistas from the rim are breathtaking — and on a clear day, you can even spot the imposing silhouette of Ol Donyo Lengai in the distance.
A day trip to Lake Eyasi, combined with a cultural encounter with the Hadzabe community, is truly captivating. Situated south of the Ngorongoro Highlands, Lake Eyasi is a seasonal shallow salt lake and a haven for bird enthusiasts. You may catch hippos lounging in the shallow waters, and with binoculars in hand, spot species like African spoonbills, flamingos, grey-headed gulls, great white pelicans, and pied avocets. Afterward, Tanzania Wildlife Voyages will guide you to meet the Hadzabe bushmen — skilled bow hunters who still live in harmony with nature.
It’s the final day of your journey! Depending on your flight schedule, you may choose to unwind on the beach or enjoy a bit more exploration of the island. Afterwards, you’ll head to Zanzibar International Airport for your departure. Not ready to leave yet? With Tanzania Wildlife Voyages, you can also extend your holiday to another idyllic island, such as Mnemba, Pemba, or Mafia.
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about South Africa. The Kruger safari exceeded all expectations — we saw the Big Five within the first two days. The wine tasting in Franschhoek was a wonderful bonus.
A well-organized tour that covers all the highlights of South Africa. The accommodations were comfortable and the pace was just right. Victoria Falls was breathtaking. Only minor suggestion would be more free time in Cape Town. Overall, highly recommended!
This was the trip of a lifetime! The sunset cruise on the Zambezi was magical, and seeing penguins at Boulders Beach was unforgettable. Every detail was taken care of. Our guide made us feel like family.
