Itinerary

1
DAY
✈️ Arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi

As you step out of Kilimanjaro International Airport, your personal Tanzania Wildlife Voyages guide welcomes you warmly with a cheerful: “Karibu Tanzania – welcome to Tanzania!” From there, your guide escorts you directly to your hotel, where you can unwind and soak in the vibrant African atmosphere. The following day, embark on a private, tailor-made safari with your guide, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace. Enjoy the comfort of your own safari jeep and pause as long as you like to observe the magnificent wildlife!

DAY
🐾 En route to the famous Masai Mara National Reserve

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.

DAY
🐾 Samburu National Reserve (Day 3-4)

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.

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.
