Discover the breathtaking beauty of Tanzania on an unforgettable journey through some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes. Begin your adventure just outside Arusha, nestled at the foot of Mount Meru and within sight of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro on a clear day. Continue to the fertile coffee-growing region of Karatu, the perfect gateway to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into this UNESCO World Heritage Site and discover a remarkable ecosystem alive with wildlife.
From there, venture into the legendary Serengeti National Park, where endless plains provide the stage for the world-famous Great Migration and extraordinary encounters with Africa’s most iconic wildlife. Experience Tanzania at its most spectacular—wild, untamed, and unforgettable.
Then, extend your African adventure with the journey of a lifetime to Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, where you’ll trek into the mist-shrouded mountains in search of the magnificent mountain gorillas.
This itinerary is set up for a Jan.-March adventure program in the Southern/Central Serengeti where the migration will be and the Wildebeest calving season which is late Jan. to mid March.
