Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Lake Manyara National Park

    Your safari kicks off with a game drive through Lake Manyara National Park, where you'll move through acacia woodlands and water forests looking for wildlife. Baboons, giraffes, and elephants are common sightings here, and you might catch sight of impalas or the region's famous tree-climbing lions if luck's on your side. After spending the day watching animals, you'll head to Marera Valley Lodge for dinner and settle in for the night.

  2. Day 2

    Ngorongoro Crater

    An early breakfast gets you ready before you descend into Ngorongoro Crater along a steep, narrow road. The massive volcanic caldera works as a natural enclosure for wildlife, so your chances of seeing the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard) are solid. You'll also spot warthogs, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, and hyenas throughout the day. Lunch happens in the crater itself as a picnic, then you make the drive back up and return to Marera Valley Lodge by afternoon.

    Breakfast, Lunch (Picnic lunch in the crater), Dinner

Elephants are particularly common here, and you'll find Masai giraffes, gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, and leopards roaming around. The park also has over 500 bird species if you're interested in birding. After your safari wraps up, you'll drive back to Arusha for the end of your trip.

    Iddy was an unexpected, positive surprise. Not only because he speaks German very well, but above all because of his very helpful and courteous nature and character. After he noticed that we spoke German, he adjusted his plans and accompanied us on the safari tour in addition to his driver. During the trip, he not only shared his detailed knowledge of the country, the animals and the landscape, but also answered every question patiently. The overnight stays in his own Samora River Lodge and in the individual lodges along the way, as well as the food served during lunch breaks in the parks, were excellent. All in all, I will always recommend Iddy and his company Samora Explorers. I would like to thank him, his wife Marlene and his employees Barak, Henry and all those whose names I do not know for the warm welcome.
