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. 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, walk with your morning Maasai 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 on 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 seen, not forgetting felines (lions, leopards, cheetahs, etc.) and hyenas.
This profusion of animals has generated a local economy based on ecotourism, and Tanzania has established protection policies and specific taxation for tourist activities.
At the end of the day, departure for your accommodation.
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.

Cancellation policy
Any cancellation by the customer will incur the following charges:
Passport valid for 6 months after the date of return.
For French nationals, a visa is compulsory. It can be obtained on arrival at the airport. You will be asked to pay $50 in cash (USD banknotes dated after 2006). Waiting times at the airport for visas can be long; expect to wait between 2 hours and 2.5 hours. Visas can also be obtained online, but please allow 2 to 3 weeks for processing. The Tanzanian authorities’ official online visa application website: https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa
+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.

Une expérience extraordinaire organisée par Soline et pilotée par Joseph, un guide aux connaissances encyclopédiques sur la faune et la nature en général, ainsi que sur la Tanzanie. Excellent chauffeur... read more à travers les pistes parfois défoncées des parcs, Joseph a été exceptionnel de disponibilité et de gentillesse.
Notre immersion dans les parcs du nord a été d’une incroyable richesse: des lions par dizaines, des girafes et des éléphants par hordes entières, des guépards et des léopards presque à portée de la mainNotre fille de 10 ans n’a pas perdu une miette de ces explosions de vie sauvage et de ces paysages somptueux. Les hébergements étaient confortables et le personnel particulièrement serviable ( une mention toute spéciale pour Laizer à Ngongoro Forest Tented Lodge) .
Nous avons pu voir tous les animaux que nous souhaitions et bien plus encore.
Merci pour l'organisation.
