7D6N TANZANIA SAFARI TOUR

Meet your tour driver-guide at Ilboru Safari Lodge at 12:30 pm (travellers must arrive earlier or have stayed overnight at an Arusha Hotel to join the scheduled safari. The safari will continue without clients that have not arrived by the departure time and additional costs incurred to arrange for the clients to meet up with the safari group will need to be borne directly by the client on the ground). Depart Arusha passing through the Maasai Steppe filled with many picturesque African villages as well as maize, coffee and banana plantations. At the town of Makuyuni turn North West and continue the journey through a scenic escarpment that brings you to your lodge, perched on the edge of the Rift Valley with stunning views over the distant Lake Manyara. Somewhere in the middle of the rolling grasslands of Tanzania, against the dramatic angles of the Rift Valley Escarpment and overlooking Lake Manyara stands Lake Manyara Wildlife Camp. The 600-meter-high golden Rift Valley Escarpment creates a crater on the edge of which the camp is located. Lake Manyara Wildlife Camp offers comfortable safari accommodations while remaining true to the natural element of the safari experience. The camp comprises ten canvas tented lodgings and sixteen self-contained cottages, all with private balconies overlooking the real Africa, majestic, unfiltered and unadorned.

The Serengeti National Park is famed for being home to millions of animals and the annual Great Migration of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles but the dramatic landscapes in which the wildlife prowls are themselves worthy of admiration during the morning and afternoon game drives, with a stop around midday to have lunch at the lodge. Riverine forests and woodlands, rocky outcrops called kopjes and a volcano are just some of the backdrops in which the animals can be spotted during the game drives. With some luck, here you will see the Big Five: the lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros. Birds and reptiles are also plentiful in the national park. In the evening, enjoy dinner at the camp.
