Tour Description

Over six incredible days, you’ll safari through the legendary Serengeti and soak up Tanzanian culture on a village walk. Next, you’ll switch up the view and wander the treetops at Lake Manyara. And you’ll even head out on a night safari to spot big cats on the prowl. It’s one epic sight after another with a fellow group of 35 to 45s. Best part? You can camp under the stars without lifting a finger (thanks to your very own Camp Manager), or kick back in a chalet-style stay instead.

Itinerary

Arusha to Mto Wa Mbu

Day 1

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Twiga Lodge (or similar)

Hello and welcome to the oh-so-stunning Tanzania! Say hello to your Contiki crew before we check out the Shanga Community Project - a wonderful initiative that offers employment to disabled community members through arts & crafts. Welcome to Mto Wa Mbu - our home for tonight (and also the gateway to some of the best national parks in Africa). So settle in, grab dinner, and spend some time with your crew.

Mto Wa Mbu to Serengeti via Ngorongoro Crater

Day 2

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Ngiri Camp (or similar)

See ya in a bit, Mto Wa Mbu. We've got a couple more places to tick off. We’ll head out on another game drive across the crater floor, keeping watch for the Big 5 and plenty more wildlife along the way. Was that a lion?! Oh… just your tummy grumbling. Good news — it’s time for lunch. Then it’s back out for one more game drive in the world-famous Serengeti before heading to our campsite set right in the heart of it all — surrounded by wildlife and as close to living in nature as it gets.

Serengeti

Day 3

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Ngiri Camp (or similar)

We'll spend a full day seeking out the game of Africa's plains, with predators in hot pursuit of their prey. If the wildebeest migration is around, then you are in for a wildlife treat: millions of wildebeest and zebra grazing for as far as the eye can see really is one of Africa's greatest spectacles to observe. A buffet dinner awaits us back at our safari camp.

Serengeti to Mto Wa Mbu

Day 4

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Twiga Lodge (or similar)

We’ll start with a hot breakfast before heading out on a morning game drive through the Serengeti. We’ll keep watch for big cats, elephants, giraffes and plenty more as the plains wake up around us. After a picnic lunch en route, we’ll exit the Serengeti and continue towards Mto Wa Mbu, with a shopping stop at Safariland if time allows. Tonight, we’ll arrive at our accommodation and settle in over an included dinner.

Mto Wa Mbu via Lake Manyara

Day 5

Duration: 1

Accommodation: Twiga Lodge (or similar)

Wakey wakey. You guessed it - it's game drive time! Home to its famous tree-climbing lions (yep!), Lake Manyara serves up a totally different safari vibe. A Maasai village tour? Mountain biking around Mto Wa Mbu? Canoeing across Lake Manyara? You've got loads of activities to choose after lunch. Plus, if a night game drive sounds like something you'll love - this is your chance! It's our final night together, so come join us for a delish dinner to wrap things up. Catch some sleep and start dreaming about the final safari that awaits us tomorrow.

Mto Wa Mbu to Arusha via Tarangire National Park

Day 6

Duration: 1

It's our last day on safari and our last chance for some wildlife viewing. So opt to jump on one last game drive in Tarangire National Park? This epic national park is famed for its two African giants - the elephant and baobab trees. Keep your eyes peeled! And with that, our wonderful, epic, surreal trip has sadly come to an end. With full hearts and memories made, it's time to say fond farewells to your new lifelong friends, and to our African adventure.
