This eight-day cultural safari balances people and wildlife. Between game drives in Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, you meet the Hadzabe and Datoga at Lake Eyasi, walk through Mto wa Mbu village, visit a Maasai boma and stop at Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important sites for the story of human evolution.<\/p>\n
It is a good choice for families, curious travellers and anyone who has been on safari before and wants to understand more about the land and its people.<\/p>\n
Most safaris drive past the villages. Here, community guides host you on their own land, you share local food and you have time for real conversation. The wildlife days are still full, with two nights in the Serengeti and a full crater morning.<\/p>\n
This safari works all year. June to October is dry and great for wildlife; December to March brings green landscapes and the calving season in the southern Serengeti.<\/p>\n
From US$3,350 per adult, based on two adults travelling together in a private safari vehicle and sharing a twin\/double room in mid-range accommodation, outside peak holiday dates. 8 days and 7 nights. Exact dates, lodge availability and current park fees determine the final quote.<\/p>\n
Accommodation listed is proposed and confirmed at booking, with equivalent alternatives offered where needed. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
