6-Day Tanzania Safari, Culture, Materuni Waterfalls Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel and after meeting the guide, chef and the other clients, we will drive to Tarangire National Park (2-hr drive), which is famous for its diverse landscape. The park is particularly known for its abundance of ancient baobab trees and having the largest concentration of elephants in the whole country. It provides unique chances to observe the interaction between elephant families. We will do a game drive through the park depending on where they have reported sightings of animals (mostly predators, lions, cheetahs and leopards - as they are harder to spot). The herbivores like giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, etc. are plenty to see throughout the park.

After lunch, we will proceed with the game drive and exit the park at around 4:30 pm when we will head to our campsite accommodation for dinner and sleep.

After breakfast, you will drive from Mto wa Mbu to Serengeti which takes about 6 hours (including all stops) as it transits through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We'll stop at the Ngorongoro Crater in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Arusha region and will also have a brief stop at the gate and viewpoint to look at the breathtaking view of the crater (20 minutes).

Go on an optional visit to a Maasai village to visit and explore the culture of the great Maasai community known for hunting and killing lions to be considered a warrior, and drinking raw animal blood. These traditions, though, are a thing of the past.

Arrive in the late afternoon and do a game drive in Seronera (center of Serengeti) until the late evening. Experience the sunset in Serengeti while having a close view of wild animals. If you're lucky, you may see a predator hunting or on a kill. Later, head to the Seronera Campsite.

Today, you will visit the waterfalls which are a walk of around 40 minutes. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga, their village life and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim, so don‘t forget your swimwear!

After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – definitely not to be missed!

The coffee tour is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances – a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.
