Welcome on arrival at Kilimanjaro airport and transfer to the lodge located close to the airport.
Free dinner and overnight stay at the lodge.
Breakfast at the lodge. Depart for Manyara Park.
From the main entrance, the road winds its way through lush jungle, where groups of baboons, up to a hundred strong, bustle along the path, blue monkeys camouflage themselves in the trees and shy harnessed guibs move cautiously between the light and shade of the undergrowth.
The silver-cheeked hornbills stand out with their enormous helmets, as if they were due to go to war in the next hour.
All-day game drive and picnic lunch under the umbrella acacias.
This park, in the Rift Valley, has an interesting diversity of wildlife to observe: elephants, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, impala and many others. The hippo pond attracts large numbers of water birds.
Manyara Park sometimes offers a rare sight: lions perched, sometimes very high, in the umbrella acacias. Will you be lucky enough to catch a glimpse?
At the end of the day, you will drive to the village of Mto Wa Mbu, if you ask your driver, you can visit the village. (see the video of this village)
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge (or equivalent)
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.
The hippos bask in the freshwater ponds while the buffalo bathe in the mud.
Dinner and overnight at Ndutu Lodge in Ndutu from June to November
Depart for the safari in the Serengeti just after breakfast.
From December to March the programme is adapted to be as close as possible to the migration:
Day 04: Safari in Ndutu and overnight at Ndutu Wildlands Camp (or equivalent)
Day 05: Safari in the Serengeti and overnight at Mbalageti Lodge (or equivalent)
The Serengeti is the country’s second largest national park (14,763 km2).
Famous for the annual migration of thousands of wildebeest, the park offers a breathtaking array of landscapes: the grassy savannah of the endless plains to the south, the hilly woodlands to the west, the Kopjes region (a granite formation) to the east and the shrub savannah to the north.
On these vast plains with their many permanent waterholes, the herds of herbivores followed by their predators offer an impressive spectacle.
The Serengeti is so big that you may be the only ones to witness the hunt led by the cheetah, whose favourite prey is Thomson’s gazelle.
After breakfast, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, taking a final safari into the Serengeti.
This profusion of animals in the northern parks has generated a local economy based on ecotourism. Tanzania has established protection policies and specific taxation for tourist activities.
Afternoon stopover in the Olduvaï region, with the possibility of visiting a Masai village (optional, payable locally).
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Forest Tented Lodge
After breakfast, departure for the Tarangire region.
Day’s safari in the Tarangire National Park considered one of the country’s beautiful wildlife refuges.
Covering an area of 2,850 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.
This 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 your accommodation.
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.

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.

Waou quel voyage !
Plus qu’à la hauteur de nos exigences : merci à Francesca avec qui j’ai construit ce projet : le Parc Manyara, le cratère de Ngorongoro, le... read more parc Serengeti et 2 jours au lac Natron et 3 jours à Zanzibar . Cela fut une explosion de magnifiques paysages et de belles rencontres .inimaginables .Au lac Natron,Nous avons eu la chance de faire une randonnée avec les Masais . En traversant les villages , les enfants venaient vers nous en disant « hello et leur prénom », certains nous ont accompagnés tout le long.
En ce qui concerne les lodges : tous sublimes avec une team chaleureuse et accueillante: Une cuisine excellente et un service exceptionnel.Notre préféré restera malgré tout le Nacron river camp pour son authenticité et son équipe avec qui nous avons partagé une partie de foot .Une petite pensée à notre Aruna qui nous a accompagnés pendant ces 2 jours.
Mais surtout n’oublions pas notre super guide Chala sans qui nous n’aurions pas eu cette belle aventure :
« Merci pour ton professionnalisme, ton dévouement et ta gentillesse. Grâce à toi nous avons pu voir les big five et bien plus encore ! »
Merci à tous pour ce magnifique voyage qui restera à jamais gravé dans nos têtes
Ce pays va terriblement nous manquer.
Super voyage organisé par Hors piste. Nous étions en safari au Kenya. Notre chauffeur guide Paul a été parfait. NOus sommes revenues ma fille et moi même enchantées par... read more ce séjour.
Nous sommes ravis par notre safari de 4 jours à travers les parcs de Manyara, du Serengeti ainsi que le cratère du Ngorongoro organisé par Hors Pistes. Tout s'est parfaitement... read more bien déroulé, le choix des hôtels étaient top et le programme s'est réalisé comme prévu.
Mais l'atout majeur de ce safari réside dans notre guide Junga que je remercie encore une fois pour nous avoir partagé sa passion de son pays, de la faune et la flore, le tout dans un français impeccable. Il a mis un point d'honneur à débusquer toutes les espèces animales du Serengeti, ce fût un véritable plaisir que de partir à la "chasse" des guépards, léopards et autres lions dans la savane!
