Welcome on arrival at Kilimanjaro airport and transfer to the lodge located close to the airport.
Free dinner and overnight stay at the lodge.
This small village is famous for its local produce market, selling fruit and vegetables as well as handicrafts.
You’ll set off for a ride in a tuk-tuk, one of the means of transport used in the village. Along the way, mamas sell local produce and, depending on the season, you’ll find an abundance of mangoes, papayas, watermelons, avocados and the famous red bananas. You will visit painting and sculpture workshops. Meet the artists and craftspeople.
A lunch of traditional dishes is included in the tour.
After lunch, departure for Lake Natron (Lake Natron). Arrive at the end of the day and set up camp facing Mount Lengai, the sacred mountain of the Masai.
Breakfast followed by a walk with a Masai guide to the shores of Lake Natron, to get a closer look at the pink and lesser flamingos.
The lake covers hundreds of square kilometres and offers stunning landscapes of changing colours.
After lunch, a morning walk with your Masai guide to the Engare Sero Waterfalls, which gush out of the bottom of a superb gorge.
Bring a pair of closed shoes for walking in the water! Swimming possible (see the video of this location)
Return to your accommodation in the late afternoon. Take time to relax in front of the Lengaï.
After breakfast, departure for the Serengeti National Park.
In the early morning, you will drive along Lake Natron. This semi-arid environment is home to a wide variety of aquatic birds and the breeding and nesting grounds of the Lesser Flamingo.
You’ll be driving through the heart of the African Rift and crossing Masai country.
In the afternoon, you will take your first game drive in the Serengeti, to your accommodation.
Dinner and overnight stay at Serengeti Wildlands Mobile Camp from June to November (or equivalent)
After breakfast, another full day’s safari to enjoy the Serengeti Park.
The oldest and most popular of Tanzania’s national parks, Serengeti National Park has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978. Even when the wildebeest migration is over, it remains one of the most beautiful places to go on safari. The park is home to the highest density of plains wildlife in the world. Herds of buffalo, elephant, giraffe, eland, damalisque, hartebeest, impala and gazelle can be spotted, not forgetting felines (lions, leopards, cheetahs, etc.) and hyenas.
This profusion of animals has generated a local economy based on eco-tourism, and Tanzania has established protection policies and specific taxation for tourist activities.
At the end of the day, departure for your accommodation.
Breakfast at the lodge. Depart for the Ngorongoro Crater.
This day will be devoted to discovering this famous crater, considered to be the 8th Wonder of the World ( > see the video of this place).
The crater is a vast caldera 20 km in diameter. At its heart lies an incredibly rich fauna, perfectly protected by a 600-metre-high rampart.
An exceptional moment: this is one of the only places in Tanzania where you can see the Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo.
More than 500 species of birds, both resident and migratory, can be seen in the crater. Lake Magadi, with its brackish waters, is often visited by pink flamingos. Hippos bask in the freshwater ponds, while buffalo bathe in the mud.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge (or equivalent)
After breakfast, departure for the Tarangire region.
Day’s safari in the Tarangire National Park considered one of the country’s fine wildlife refuges.
Covering an area of 2850 km2, it is renowned for its exceptional concentrations of animals between August and January. The park is home to species that are harder to locate and often impossible to find in other parks in northern Tanzania, such as the Gerenuk, lesser kudu, Oryx beisa, eland and the most sought-after antelope, greater kudu.
The park is crossed by a river that never runs dry in some places, the Tarangire River. The park has the highest concentration of baobabs in the world, which dot the landscape. Elephants, of which there are many, cut into the bark of these mythical trees to quench their thirst, as they are veritable water pumps.
In the early afternoon, departure for Arusha.
Dinner and overnight at Ambureni Coffee Lodge (or equivalent)
After breakfast at the lodge, you will spend a free morning in the town of Arusha to be arranged locally.
Lunch not included.
After lunch, departure for Kilimanjaro airport for your international flight or flight to Zanzibar for the extension.

+1h in summer, +2h in winter compared with France.
The yellow fever vaccine was reinstated in early 2008. You should allow more than 14 days before your departure. Don’t forget to take your international vaccination certificate with you, as customs officials may ask for it when you enter Tanzania or Zanzibar.
Vaccinations not compulsory but recommended: against typhoid, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, DTP and in certain cases against meningitis A and C, and against rabies (check with your doctor).
Preventive treatment against malaria is essential. Remember to take mosquito repellent with you.
English and Swahili are the two official languages. There are also many African dialects, reflecting the country’s tribal diversity.
Tanzanian shilling: 1€=2600 TSH (January 2019)
For US dollars, remember to take notes issued after 2006 !!!
Since the recent ban on bureaux de change in Tanzania, you can only withdraw Tanzanian shillings from ATMs in Arusha, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. However, the euro and, more particularly, the US dollar are widely used and may suffice to pay for all your purchases in Tanzania (USD notes dating from after 2006). But be sure to carry small denominations;
If you wish to pay for certain purchases by credit card, you should be aware that additional credit card payment charges will be applied (approximately 4 to 6%).
The current is 230V. The plug is English; an adaptor is recommended.
Apart from the Kilimanjaro ascent, which requires special equipment, the weather is relatively warm all year round. You should, however, bring a jumper and windbreaker for nights spent near the crater or in a bivouac, as well as for stays in July and August, which can be cooler months. It is advisable to wear light trousers in the parks to ensure peaceful cohabitation with certain insects.
You’ll also need light walking shoes, a hat, sun cream, a torch, binoculars and batteries for your camera. Cameras with zoom lenses can be hired.
Please note that for domestic flights, only soft luggage, strictly limited to 15kg, is allowed (including hand luggage)!
It is common practice to tip people who accompany or assist you on your journey. To take your bag to your room, the porter will expect a small tip of TSH 500 (around €30), and the driver guide will expect $20 per day on safari.

Cécile nous a préparé un voyage tellement parfait. Nous sommes allés crescendo en émotions et surprises. elle a parfaitement cerné nos attentes .
Les accueils dans tous les... read more lodges sont supers, la nourriture est délicieuse , les chambres sont très propres, spacieuses et avec tout le confort (douche chaude et WC. Peut-être avons nous eu de la chance car les lodges étaient vides ou presque, donc nous avons été très chouchoutés! mais je pense que c'est aussi , dans la nature du Tanzanien d'être gentil et souriant. Nous avons terminé par le Manyara'secret Lodge, il est tout neuf, il est TOPISSIME... pas la peine d'aller à Zanzibar pour se reposer 2 jours
Nous avons eu la chance de tout voir, chasses manquées, chasses réussies, festins, repos. Les félins (tous) nous ont régalé. les éléphants aussi à 2 m du 4X4 ...dingue !
Notre guide Haruna était parfait. Avec son "œil de lynx" il savait débusquer un arbre truffé de lionnes faisant la sieste comme des chats ou un guépard tapi dans l'herbe. et bien plus encore
Je recommande Cécile et HORS PISTE
que de beaux souvenirs !!!! merci à toute l'éqipe
Francesca nous avait mitonné avec amour un superbe voyage en Tanzanie : 1 semaine de safari dans les parcs du Nord puis 1 semaine de farniente à zanzibar.
Nous avons... read more eu la chance de découvrir le Ngorongoro, Ndutu, Serengeti et Tarangire aux côtés de notre super guide Patrick. Grâce à lui nous avons vécu une véritable aventure et avons eu la chance de voir de très proche une multitude de majestueux animaux. Simbas, pumbas, girafes, hipo, léopards, guépards, hyenes, buffles, des centaines d'éléphants, gazelles, gnous et zèbres par millions car c'était la période de la grande migration dans le sud du Serengeti...et j'en oublie beaucoup. Un rêve éveillé rempli d'émotions.
Les lodges et camps étaient TOP ! Merci à tous pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil.
mention spéciale pour la nuit au Camp du Ndutu où nous étions seuls avec un hôte au top et les lions autour de nous....
Ensuite de retour à Arusha, Patrick nous a déposé à l'aérodrome direction Zanzibar. Un charmant chauffeur nous attendait et nous a conduit à la superbe Villa Kiva. Une belle découverte : le lieu splendide, la vue magique, le service et la nourriture impeccables. La plage de Matemwe fut notre préférée malgré les oursins ;-) Après plusieurs jours nous sommes descendus vers Jambiani et avons eu la chance de loger dans deux super hôtels que sont le Loop et le Mwezzi.
Bravo à Hors Pistes pour leur organisation et leur réactivité, nous recommandons chaudement :-)
Ludovic et Vanessa
Magnifique séjour organisé par Hors Piste au Kenya durant les congés scolaires. En 10 jours, nous avons découvert Nairobi, le Parc de Masaî Mara, le lac Naivasha et le parc... read more Amboseli. Que de belles rencontres avec la faune sauvage !
Merci à Nelson notre guide-chauffeur, très à l'écoute et toujours très prévoyant. Les lodges et hébergements furent de qualité et l'accueil aux petits oignons. Malgré des temps de liaison un peu long au regard des routes du Kenya, le spectacle de la rue nous a fasciné. Notre rencontre avec les masaïs d'Amboseli restera un grand moment, comme la visite de l'école. Cette immersion dans la culture africaine et son peuple fut éblouissante. Merci à Hors Piste et n'oubliez pas de demander Nelson votre guide en 1 ère classe.
