Lake Nakuru National Park

You'll have an early morning pick up then drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the Rift Valley's most famous Lake Nakuru. It's known all over the world for its flamingoes. It's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos. But the flamingos, of course, have always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lakeshore. You will arrive in time for lunch then have an afternoon game drive. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge.

Day 2

Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch and then have an afternoon game drive. Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options or downgraded to more economic ones (price reduction).

Day 3

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, we'll have a full-day game drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions, as well as its abundant resident wildlife. Its one of the few places where it's possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Note: Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options or downgraded to more economic ones (price reduction).

Day 6

Serengeti National Park

The famous Serengeti National Park is home to the great migration. The game drive is spectacular as you drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim. Continuing on, spreading out is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili. This 6,900 sq mile (18,000 sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, Thomson's gazelles, large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax or monkeys also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds. On the second day, after breakfast, you'll have a full day in Serengeti National Park (morning and afternoon game drives). You have the possibility to visit Oldupai Gorge and enjoy a hot air balloon flight. Accommodation can be upgraded to higher level options (at extra costs) or downgraded to more economic ones (price reduction).

Day 8

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

You'll have an early morning safari before breakfast to spot the animals when they are more active and also to have a fantastic sunrise in front of you. After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch, followed by a transfer to Ngorongoro. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusks, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. There is the possibility for an afternoon walking safari in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options (at extra costs) or downgraded to more economic ones (price reduction). Mid-range tented camp located less than 1hr drive from Ngorongoro Crater (Tanzania) All meals included Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 9

Ngorongoro Crater

Very early in the morning, you'll descend down to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most incredible places on earth. After a stop for a picnic lunch near Hippo Lake, and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, drive up the steep road out of the crater. You'll then transfer to Manyara for your overnight stay. You can also visit Tarangire instead of Manyara and we recommend it from June to September. There is the possibility to visit Oldonyo Sambu Maasai Village on the way to Manyara/Tarangire. Accommodation can be upgraded to higher-level options (at extra costs) or downgraded to more economic ones (price reduction).

You'll depart after breakfast and drive across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive. This enchanting park is noted for its beauty and incredibly lush acacia forest of giant figs and mahogany trees, which are home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. It is very famous for its stunning bird variety. The park is also home to a large numbers of buffalos, giraffes, elephants, impalas and a Hippo lake, where large numbers of hippos usually gather. This park has become famous for the tree-climbing lions and the flamingos on the lakeshore. The game drives are done along the shore of the lake, providing incredible views of animals in the foreground with the lake, flamingos and flat plains on the horizon. In the afternoon, you will have a flight to Zanzibar at around 4 pm for three days of relaxation.

Perfect Safari

We were genuinely happy to have loved our experience with Soul of Tanzania. Congratulations to the excellent, competent, and always helpful guides, and for the excellent organization of the trip. Your guides have a feeling and an eye for spotting an animal from a long distance. FANTASTIC. They know how to create a very friendly atmosphere with the client. It's a good thing we went during the "off-season," because at one point there were almost 50 jeeps "on top" of one animal. The staff, as well as the service at the accommodations, was always impeccable. It's good to feel that our money was well spent on this trip, which will certainly remain in our memories forever. This victory is something no one can take away from you or from us. Our children and grandchildren say they want to come on the next safari too. Thank you very much.

Amazing

We just finished a five full-day tour in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Our guide was Julieth and things couldn’t have been better: great weather, so many animals, and the best guide ever. We had so many amazing experiences that were driven by Julieth’s experience and knowledge. We learned a ton, took hundreds of pictures of animals, and made memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The only thing we would add is that late January is the perfect time due to all of the animal babies and fewer tourists. Thank you Soul of Tanzania and especially Julieth!

Trip of a lifetime.

We had an amazing experience!! We did the 8 day Tanzania tour. We spent time at Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. We had Sammy (Samwel) as our guide. He was the best!!! Funny, kind, informative and helpful in every way. We felt like family. We asked to change our last day at the last minute and he drove us around Arusha and we got to see where he grew up and MT Kilimanjaro in the distance. He was great at spotting animals and we saw the big 5!!! We still yell “Buuuuusshhh Chickens” to this day. Only thing I’d change is skip Lake Eyasi and spend another day in the crater.

Perfect holiday with the perfect driver!!!

Glorious 3 week holiday in Zanzibar and Northern Tanzania! After not a few forays into East Africa this was the winner ... and all thanks to the people behind the scenes helping us plan like Manuel ... and the driver who rules them all ... JAMES KAAYA!!! The variety of places we wanted to go and the experiences we hoped to have all came to life seamlessly, safely and was nothing short of good times with plenty of laughs! The historic walks through the sites of Zanzibar, the water activities of the ephemeral Indian Ocean, and trek through the monkey-filled forests were a solid introduction to the country. However the Star of the Show was the safari adventures with James at the wheel! He possessed an uncanny ability to spot animals from far and near, to make predictions where animals would be when all the other drivers seemed to be clustered in the wrong spots and to get us within what seemed like touching distance of each and every animal of the National Parks and Conservation Areas! We easily ticked every box of our hit list. Lions exceeded 100, cheetahs and leopards by the dozen, gnus in the thousands. James seemed to know people in every park, hamlet, and nondescript backroad we traversed endlessly both giving and receiving tips on where the hot spots were that day. We passed not a few breakdowns, drivers and despondent looking tourists stuck in muddy ravines and wheels spinning along lakeshores, but our James navigated these obstacles effortlessly, patiently and always kept us safe! Not only did he never get lost but on several other occasions helped other drivers find their accomadations! He seemed to have a built-in GPS! We really felt like we won the Driver Lottery this time! Well played Mr James Kaaya! And thank you Unlimited Expeditions - Soul of Tanzania! We shall return!
