Group Safari Karibuni
Duration
From
From the very first lines, immerse yourself in the heart of an exceptional shared adventure: imagine, accompanied by a small group of fellow travellers like you, crossing the majestic plains of Tanzania aboard a comfortable 4×4, roof open, ready to experience the thrill of a face-to-face encounter with the Big Five in the intimacy of the Manyara parks, the Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. From the moment you arrive, the scent of the savannah surrounds you (the songs of rare birds, herds of elephants appearing on the horizon, lions perched in the acacias) as you share laughter, discoveries and delicious picnics in the shade of the baobabs. This unique safari, designed for small groups, offers you the perfect balance between the excitement of wildlife encounters, the comfort of welcoming lodges, and the human warmth of French-speaking guides, passionate experts in wildlife and local culture. In just a few days, you will feel as though you have travelled across a continent, forged bonds with strangers turned companions, and lived a magnificent collective dream: that of a safari that transforms you, while inviting you to imagine the adventure before you are even there.

Breakfast at the lodge. Departure for Manyara National Park.
From the main entrance, the road first winds through lush jungle where groups of baboons, some a hundred strong, bustle along the path, where blue monkeys blend into the trees and where the shy bushbuck move cautiously between the shade and light of the undergrowth.
The silver-cheeked hornbills are striking with their enormous casques, as if they were about to go to war within the hour.
Full-day safari and picnic lunch under the umbrella acacias.
This park, in the Rift Valley, has an interesting variety of wildlife to observe: elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, impalas and many others. The hippo pool attracts a large number of water birds. Manyara Park sometimes offers a rare sight, with lions perched, sometimes very high up, in the umbrella acacias. Will you be lucky enough to spot them perched there?

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 internal diameter. At its centre it shelters incredibly rich wildlife, perfectly protected by a 600-metre-high rim.
A special moment: this is one of the few places in Tanzania where you can see the “Big Five”: the elephant, the lion, the rhinoceros, the leopard and the buffalo.
