Lake Eyasi Safari Program

Day 1-2: The Untamed Beauty of Lake Eyasi

The Cultural Melting Pot

Your journey begins with a drive to Lake Eyasi, a seasonal shallow salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. The area is home to the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in Africa. As you arrive, you are greeted by the vast openness and serenity of the landscape.

Living Like the Locals

On the second day, rise early and join the Hadzabe in their daily hunt. This is an authentic cultural experience where you learn their traditional hunting methods and witness their incredible archery skills. The Hadzabe are not just hunters; they are also gatherers, and you’ll have the chance to forage for tubers, honey, and fruits with the women of the tribe. This immersion into their lifestyle is an eye-opening experience that gives a deeper understanding of human resilience and harmony with nature.

Day 3-5: The Legendary Plains of the Serengeti

The Endless Savanna

Leaving Lake Eyasi behind, you’ll venture towards the endless savanna of the Serengeti National Park. Known for its vast and open grasslands, the Serengeti is the epitome of the African safari experience. Here, the “Big Five” roam the plains, and you’re in for the thrill of a lifetime.

The Great Migration

Depending on the time of year, you may witness the Great Migration, an annual movement of millions of wildebeest and zebras in search of water and fresh grazing. It’s a spectacle that is matched by few other natural events on the planet. Watching the herds traverse the landscape with predators lurking close by is a lesson in the rawness and reality of life in the wild.

Safari Under the Stars

As night falls, enjoy the unique experience of camping under the African sky. The sounds of the wild become your lullaby, while the stars shine with an intensity only seen in places untouched by city lights. A campfire dinner and storytelling with your guides round off the perfect day on safari.

Day 6-7: The Breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater

A World Heritage Site

The next leg of your safari takes you to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Driving up to the crater rim, you are presented with a view that’s nothing short of majestic. The world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino.

A Microcosm of African Wildlife

Descend into the crater and find yourself in a natural enclosure teeming with animals. The high concentration of wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater makes it one of the best places for game viewing. Here, the lions are king, and you may spot them lounging in the sun or hunting. The crater, often referred to as ‘Africa’s Garden of Eden,’ is also a paradise for bird watchers with over 500 species recorded.

Maasai Encounters

In the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Maasai people continue their traditional way of life alongside the wildlife. A visit to a Maasai boma (village) allows for cultural exchange and the opportunity to learn about their customs, dances, and songs. The Maasai’s symbiotic relationship with the environment is a testament to the balance that can exist between humans and nature.

Day 8: Reflections and Farewells

Sunrise Over the Crater

On the final day, wake up early for a sunrise that will etch itself in your memories forever. As you watch the first rays of light touch the crater floor, it’s a moment to reflect on the journey that has been. The experiences shared with the wildlife, the landscapes that have stretched out before you, and the people you’ve met along the way have all contributed to a deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Homeward Bound

After a leisurely breakfast, it’s time to pack up and say goodbye to the Ngorongoro Crater. The drive back to civilization is filled with recollections of the past week’s adventures. As you head home, you carry with you not just photographs and souvenirs, but a renewed spirit and a connection to the earth that can only be forged by such an intimate encounter with the wild.

Safari in Serengeti Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and First Impressions

The Journey Begins

Your Serengeti safari adventure starts as you touch down at the nearest airstrip, where the vastness of the Serengeti welcomes you. The excitement is palpable as you are greeted by your safari guide, who will be your navigator and storyteller for the coming days. A short drive to your chosen lodge or campsite offers a tantalizing preview of the wildlife and landscapes that await.

Settling In

Upon arrival at your accommodation, you’ll have the chance to settle into your room or tent, which promises comfort amidst the wild. These lodgings are designed to blend into the environment, providing an authentic and immersive experience. Take a moment to breathe in the fresh savannah air and prepare for the first game drive of your safari.

An Afternoon Among Giants

The late afternoon is an ideal time for wildlife spotting as animals become more active in the cooler temperatures. Your guide expertly navigates the vehicle through the golden grasslands as you encounter herds of zebra and antelope. The highlight of the day for this Serengeti safari may be watching a pride of lions lounging in the shade or witnessing a powerful elephant bull in solitude. As the sun sets, painting the sky in fiery hues, you head back to camp with hearts full of wonder.

A Night Under the Stars

Back at the lodge, a sumptuous dinner awaits, often featuring local flavors and ingredients. Afterward, gather around a crackling campfire, sharing stories with fellow travelers under the Serengeti’s star-studded sky. The distant roars of lions and the gentle calls of nocturnal birds lull you into a deep sleep, with dreams of the wild adventures that lie ahead.

Day 2: The Heart of the Serengeti

Sunrise and the Great Migration

An early start is essential on safari, and there’s nothing quite like a Serengeti sunrise. Today, you may have the chance to witness the Great Migration, a natural spectacle featuring over a million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle on their annual journey in search of fresh grazing grounds. The sight of this thunderous procession is a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature.

Full-Day Game Drive

A full-day game drive provides the opportunity to explore different regions of the park. Your guide leads you to waterholes where animals gather, past kopjes where lions survey their territory, and across riverine areas where hippos and crocodiles reign. Each turn reveals a new scene from the circle of life: a cheetah on the hunt, a giraffe nibbling tender leaves, or a cluster of vultures signaling a recent kill.

Picnic in the Wild

Lunch is an al fresco affair, often at a designated picnic site with views over the plains. Enjoy a well-prepared meal as you discuss the morning’s sightings and speculate about what the afternoon may hold.

Continued Explorations

As the day progresses, your guide’s keen eyes and experience lead you to more remarkable encounters. The Serengeti’s diverse habitats are home to over 500 bird species, making it a birder’s paradise as well. As the sun begins its descent, you make your way back to the lodge, the day’s images etched into memory.

Relaxing Evening

After such an eventful day, relaxation is key. Enjoy the amenities of your lodge, perhaps with a dip in the pool or a massage to soothe tired muscles. Another delicious dinner provides a chance to reflect on the day’s adventures before retiring to the comfort of your bed, serenaded by the sounds of the African night.

Day 3: Final Game Drive and Departure

Morning Farewell

On your final day in the Serengeti, there’s time for one last game drive. It’s a chance to savor the sights and sounds of the park and perhaps tick off any wildlife you’ve yet to encounter. Your guide endeavors to fulfill any last requests, knowing these moments are precious.

Brunch and Goodbyes

Returning to the lodge, you enjoy a leisurely brunch, the flavors somehow richer with the backdrop of the wilderness. It’s a time for exchanging contacts with new friends and promising to share photos of your shared experiences.

Journey Home

As you pack your bags and prepare for your departure, the magic of the Serengeti doesn’t fade—it accompanies you, a feeling you’ll carry long after you’ve left its borders. Your guide drives you back to the airstrip, where you bid farewell to the land that has captured your heart.
