Scheduled safari · Tanzania · 2027
Western Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti, the Mara River and Ngorongoro Crater. Twelve days in September 2027 that combine wildlife, authentic Hadzabe culture, and the best window for northern Serengeti crossings.
This is our first 2027 departure, a 12-day nature and cultural safari timed for the northern Serengeti and Mara River.
These are the moments that define this 2027 safari, from the quiet plains under Kilimanjaro to the roar of the Mara River in September.
A full-day game drive in Sinya, a quieter wildlife area at the foot of the mountain. Elephants, giraffe and open plains with Kibo as the backdrop, away from the busier northern circuit.
Western Kilimanjaro · Sinya
Baobabs, seasonal swamps and some of Tanzania’s largest elephant herds. Your first major park safari after the Kilimanjaro foothills.
Tarangire National Park
A genuine morning with one of Tanzania’s oldest hunter-gatherer communities, tracking, plants, and a way of life still tied to the land.
Lake Eyasi · Hadzabe
Central Serengeti for resident lions, leopards and cheetahs, then three nights in the north while September herds move toward the Mara River.
Central & Northern Serengeti
Two full days in the north give you time to follow the herds. River crossings are never guaranteed; extra days are how you give luck a chance.
Northern Serengeti · Mara River
A full-day descent into the crater floor in search of lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos and the endangered black rhinoceros.
Ngorongoro Conservation AreaDiscover the diverse beauty of Tanzania on a safari that combines wildlife, nature, authentic culture and the Great Migration. You begin in Western Kilimanjaro, exploring the less-visited Sinya wildlife area, then continue to Tarangire for baobabs and elephant herds, Lake Eyasi for a Hadzabe hunting encounter, and the legendary Serengeti, central first, then three days in the north during September.
The journey ends in the Ngorongoro Highlands with a full-day crater safari, searching for the Big Five including black rhino, before your transfer back to Kilimanjaro Airport.
Meals: B breakfast · L lunch · D dinner. Overnight locations follow the PDF programme.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport you are welcomed and transferred to your lodge in Western Kilimanjaro. A quiet evening in the foothills before your first full day of wildlife.
Sinya sits at the foot of Kilimanjaro, open plains, acacia woodland and fewer vehicles than the classic parks. Look for elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and antelope, with picnic lunch in the bush.
Drive toward Arusha, Tanzania’s safari gateway. Check in and rest. Depending on arrival time, an optional short cultural stop around town is possible.
Your first major park day: baobabs, swamps and large elephant concentrations. After exploring Tarangire, continue to the Lake Eyasi area for the night.
Spend the morning with Hadzabe hunters around Lake Eyasi, traditional tracking and a window into one of Tanzania’s oldest ways of life. Continue to Karatu on the edge of the Ngorongoro Highlands.
Enter the Serengeti as the landscape opens into endless plains. Game viewing en route toward Central Serengeti, lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants and resident herds.
Travel north toward the Mara River region, stopping for wildlife along the way. September positioning puts you closer to migration herds as they move through the north.
A full day following wildebeest and zebra as they move toward the Mara River. Your guide reads herd movement and predator activity, lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas often trail the migration.
A second full day in the north. If herds and river conditions align, you may witness a crossing, a natural event that cannot be promised. Extra time here is the honest way to try.
A scenic drive south with further game viewing, arriving at your highland lodge for a quieter evening before crater day.
Descend to the crater floor in search of lions, elephants, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas and black rhino. Picnic lunch inside the crater, then ascend and continue to Arusha.
After breakfast, transfer to Arusha or Kilimanjaro International Airport according to your flight. We time the run so you check in without rush.
