In the evening, we will reach the Maramboi Tented Camp with your safari tour guide. Maramboi is 30 minute distanced from the Tarangire National Park and is a famous known game area. It is also aimed for the lower end of the market for its tourists. If you are keen to view the Tarangire but not interested in visiting the northern are and want to keep your cost down, then Maramboi is the best option. There are larger version suites than the original standards which are more airy and spacious, also featured with the balcony of panoramic views. You can see the wild animals like Zebras, giraffes, warthogs, gazelles between the palm trees from the terrace of your exclusive tent.

Lake Manyara incorporates a massive range of elephants, such a lot of giraffes; zebras, wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, and swine, little celebrated back Kik’s dik dik further- more as Klipspringer on the ramps of the escarpment. Leopards ar hosted inside the broken forests and escarpment, healthy lions that ar wide celebrated for his or her tree ascent pranks We will follow what we tend to say “The Ernest Hemingway Route”. We’ll relish one last game drive in Tarangire on the way to Lake Manyara parkland, that lies at the bottom of the valley escarpment. This little park is astonishingly numerous, starting from groundwater forests to rushlike plains, to the alcalescent Lake Manyara itself.

Kitela Lodge rises on the the slope of a beautiful Valley with stunning views of a coffee plantation and a body of water among the unbelievable highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation space. It consists of twenty colonial vogue cottages enclosed by stun- ning gardens, a coffee plantation and a operating farm. On the 4th evening we will stay at the beautiful Kitela lodge.

Bushman tour, have you ever watched the movie “The God must be Crazy”? Our day will begin with a journey to Lake Eyasi where we will enjoy visiting with the nomadic Hadzabe tribe to learn about their hunting techniques and their way of life in this challenging environment.

Your day with the Hadzabe is not something you are likely to forget. Singing and rhythmic chants drift over from the women’s camp. They grow no food, raise no livestock, and live without rules or calendars. They are living a hunter-gatherer existence that hasn’t changed in the past 10,000 years. What do they know, that we have forgotten? We will venture with them for the day and the morning after. We will have dinner and stay overnight at the Lake Eyasi Lodge.

After our drives at lake eyasi and surrounding we will Rest at Kisima Ngeda tented camp. Kisima Ngeda tented camp is the intimate tented lodge set on the shore of Lake Eyasi.

Today we embark into the heart of Tanzania, Ngorongoro Crater, the Eden of Africa. First, you’ll enjoy a cultural adventure with Maasai Warriors in the Ngorongoro area. A full-day game drive inside Ngorongoro Crater is a „once-in-alifetime’ opportunity to spot all the African wildlife you’ve been yearning to see. The crater is technically a caldera: the world’s largest unfounded caldera, in fact.

At the night we will stay at Entanamu Ngorongoro Luxury Tented lodge Beauty and courtesy on the way.Opening its doors in August 2016, Entamanu is one of the newest properties on the rim owned by Nomad’s, and is sat on the remote northwestern rim of the crater. Sleeping a maximum of 16 people, the camp offers that intimate and peaceful feel that other larger properties on the crater do not. – Game drives into the Ngorongoro Crater are a big highlight! Early starts- where you will be woken by a hot cup of tea or coffee- are recommended so that you can enjoy the crater before it gets too busy. Entamanu also offers guided walks around the rim of the crater and in the surrounding highlands, guided by a local Maasai to explain the way of life, the role of medicinal plants and Maasai beliefs. These walks need to be pre-booked but are perfect for a slower pace activity.

Serengeti, derived from the Maasai word, “siringet”, means “the place where the land runs on forever”. This beautiful park covers 5,700 square miles of grassland plains, savanna, riverine forest and woodlands.More than 2 million wildebeest make up thelargest population of big mammals that still roam the planet, and are accompanied by 250,000 zebra, 5,000 African bush elephant and the largest population of lions in Africa.

Accompanied by Fundi
You may be asking yourself so what is a Fundi? A Fundi is a handyman, a fix it guy and he is often an expert in his field. If you are an Auto Mechanic, a Motorbike Technician, a Tailor, a Cabinetmaker, a TV or an Appliance Repairman, you are a Fundi. The Fundi in Africa is a vital part of any community large or small. The Fundi often works in conditions their counterparts in the western world could not even comprehend, such as facilities that are old and very outdated, sometimes with no electricity and most often their work areas are outdoors where they have to deal with rain and all the other elements. At this Safari we offer folks a “Hand Up not a Hand Out” So bring tools for Fundi while coming on this safari to help them
