3-Day Wildlife and Cultural Tour

Early in the morning, you will have breakfast and descend to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which will award you with a chance to view animals while they are still active. The crater, one of its kind in the world and part of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, hosts the rare Black Rhinoceros and many other species. The crater supports a vast variety of wild animals which include a herd of Wildebeest, Zebras, African Buffalo, Eland, Warthogs, Hippos, Giant African Elephants, another big drawcard to this picturesque national park. It also has a dense population of African Big Cats predators which include Lions, Cheetah, Hyena, Jackals, and the ever-elusive Leopards, which sometimes require trained eyes to spot or sight them. Lunch at the Picnic site. Late noon, you will exit the crater and drive to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Marera Valley Lodge.

You will wake up in another "universe": that of the Datoga and Hadzabe tribes. You will first meet the Hadzabe people, whom you can accompany on a hunt and discover their customs and traditional dances. Lake Eyasi is a shallow, seasonal endorheic salt lake located at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. The Hadzabe Bushmen live in this region, as do the Datoga and Mbulu tribes. Meeting the Bushmen is worth the detour: they will kindly show you where and how they live and hunt. It will be a truly timeless experience. The Hadzabe people are one of the last hunter-gatherers in the world. You will have lunch at the picnic area. At the end of the day, you will drive back to Arusha where you will be transferred to your lodge.
