Embark on a transformative 6-day Tanzania safari with Elpis Africa Adventures, where “Elpis” (Hebrew for “hope”) fuels our mission to connect you with Africa’s wild soul. Traverse Tarangire’s elephant herds, Lake Manyara’s tree-climbing lions, the Serengeti’s Great Migration, and Ngorongoro Crater’s Big Five. Designed for adventurers and families alike, this journey blends world-class wildlife encounters with sustainable travel practices that support Tanzania’s communities and ecosystems.
Highlights: 300+ elephant herds • Ancient baobab forests • Rare tree-climbing pythons.
Your adventure begins with a pickup from Arusha, where your Elpis guide greets you. Journey to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania’s “Elephant Playground,” where herds of up to 300 elephants roam freely. Marvel at iconic baobab trees and spot lions, zebras, and buffaloes. Pause for lunch in the park, then explore the marshy shores of Lake Burungi, a haven for giant kingfishers and vibrant birdlife. As dusk falls, retreat to your eco-friendly lodge for dinner under the stars.
Highlights: Tree-climbing lions • 400+ bird species • Great Rift Valley vistas.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara, nestled beneath the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Famous for lions lounging in acacia trees, this park dazzles with elephants, hippos, and flocks of pink flamingos along its soda lake. Traverse groundwater forests and open plains, capturing giraffes and baboons in action. By evening, transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where your lodge offers panoramic crater views.
Highlights: Great Wildebeest Migration • Big cats • UNESCO-listed plains.
Depart early for the Serengeti, passing through Ngorongoro’s highlands. Opt for a detour to Olduvai Gorge, the “Cradle of Humankind,” where ancient human fossils were discovered. Enter the Serengeti’s endless plains, home to 1.5 million wildebeest and zebras during migration season. Enjoy an afternoon game drive in Seronera Valley, spotting lions, leopards, and cheetahs before settling at your camp under the African sky.
Highlights: Lion prides • Cheetah hunts • Granite kopjes.
Spend a full day exploring the Serengeti’s diverse ecosystems. Track predators in Seronera Valley, where lions dominate the grasslands and leopards prowl acacia woodlands. Discover kopjes—ancient rock formations sheltering hyraxes and lizards—and witness the Great Migration’s thundering herds (seasonal). A picnic lunch by the Seronera River offers moments of serenity before returning to camp, enriched by the day’s raw beauty.
Highlights: Big Five sightings • Black rhinos • Maasai cultural harmony.
Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with 25,000+ mammals. Spot the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and the elusive black rhino—grazing alongside Maasai cattle. Enjoy lunch by Lake Magadi, where flamingos paint the shores pink. Ascend the crater rim by afternoon, reflecting on this unique coexistence of wildlife and culture, then unwind at your lodge.
Highlights: Scenic highland drive • Cultural reflections.
After breakfast, journey back to Arusha through Tanzania’s lush highlands. Share stories of elephant encounters, lion sightings, and Maasai hospitality. Arrive in Arusha by midday, where your safari concludes. Optional airport transfers or extended stays can be arranged, ensuring your Tanzanian odyssey ends on your terms.
