Highlights

Arusha: Support this social enterprise that employs local disabled people with artisanal skills. Watch weaving, glass blowing, beading, paper making and metal work.

Tarangire National Park: Take a drive through the ‘land of giants’. This national park is known for its elephants and sprawling Baobab trees.

Serengeti: Hello new accommodation – Kon tiki Serengeti Camp (yep, they're called Kon tiki). Here, you'll have easy access to prime game viewing areas, and you'll also be able to witness one of nature’s most extraordinary events - the Great Wildebeest Migration! Plus, it comes with luxurious beds, linen and professional chefs to serve up the freshest food.

Serengeti: Watch out for local wildlife as we head to our camp, which is bang in the middle of these endless plains. Could the location be any more epic?

Mto Wa Mbu: Stroll through the Maasai Market with vibrant stalls of fruit, handmade shukas and beaded jewellery. And even sample traditional dishes (washed down with banana beer!). You'll also learn about the art of Makonde carving in this little town that's home to around 120 Maasai tribes - all with their own unique language and customs.

Serengeti: Was that lion we heard last night? Let’s go find out. Take an incredible morning drive in search of the wildlife we heard throughout the night.

Serengeti: Cruise around the plains at sunset to explore new areas and spot a few more animals before they head off to bed.

Serengeti: Another day, another game drive, giving us the most amount of opportunities to see the wildlife that roams these plains.

Ngorongoro Crater: Experience a one-of-a-kind drive inside an ancient volcano that’s packed with incredible wildlife and right in the heart of the action.

Itinerary

You can reel off the names of the Big 5, you've imagined yourself driving through the Serengeti in an open-top vehicle, and you've dreamed of going on safari since you first learnt how to say 'Hakuna Matata'. How about we throw in some views of the Great Rift Valley, a visit to an ancient volcano dense with game and predators, and nights camping under the star-swept skies of the Serengeti plains? Now this is the Africa trip you've been waiting for.

day 1 - Arusha to Tarangire

Welcome to your African safari adventure! Our first stop is the Shanga Community Project, which offers employment to the disabled people of the community. Afterwards, we'll head to our first national park in Tanzania - Tarangire, home to two of Africa's giants: elephants and baobab trees. The lodge will provide us with a buffet dinner tonight, so make sure you're hungry!

Meals:Dinner
Location Visited:Arusha, Tarangire National Park
Accommodation:Roika Tented Camp (or similar)

day 2 - Tarangire

An early start this morning will take us into the Tarangire National Park for a full day, in the hopes for a glimpse of some of its elusive predators and changing landscapes. We'll stay here for most of the day with a packed lunch provided to give us the most opportunity of exploring this wildlife wilderness. Afterwards, we'll visit a Maasai village, meeting some of the locals to learn all about their customs and way of life. There'll be a buffet dinner tonight too, so be sure to save some room!

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location Visited:Tarangire National Park
Accommodation:Roika Tented Camp (or similar)

day 3 - Tarangire to Serengeti

After breakfast we'll set out in our safari vehicles to our next destination: the Serengeti. We take in views of the Rift valley and the rim of Ngorogoro Crater as we make our way to the main gate of the Serengeti, stopping off to visit Mto Wa Mbu Village and a local market. We'll drive through the endless plains of this vast reserve to reach our accommodation for the night. Tonights accommodation will be a safari-style lodge in the middle of the Serengeti. A buffet meal will be served for dinner, and you're free to sit outside and listen to the sounds of nocturnal animals waking up to forage or hunt, all while sitting under the bright canopy of stars in the African sky.

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location Visited:Tarangire National Park, Serengeti
Accommodation:Kon tiki Serengeti Camp (or similar)

day 4 - Serengeti

We'll spend a full day seeking out the game of Africa's plains, with predators in hot pursuit of their prey. If the wildebeest migration is around, then you are in for a wildlife treat: millions of wildebeest and zebra grazing for as far as the eye can see really is one of Africas' greatest spectacles to observe. If you want to make today even more unforgettable, you can opt in for a once-in-a-lifetime Balloon safari. A buffet dinner awaits us back at our safari camp.

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location Visited:Serengeti
Accommodation:Kon tiki Serengeti Camp (or similar)

day 5 - Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

Enjoy some breakfast before we depart the Serengeti with a morning game drive on our way to our next destination, the Ngorongoro Crater. In the late morning we reach the Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient volcano, boasting one of the highest densities of predators stalking the abundant wildlife enclosed inside the volcano's centre. We'll stop here for a picnic lunch before we ascend the plateau. A true natural wonder, only found in Africa.

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Location Visited:Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodation:Eileen's Tree Inn (or similar)

day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha via Lake Manyara

Its our last day on safari and our last chance for some wildlife viewing. Opt to jump on one last game drive to Lake Manyara National Park. Renowned for its famed tree-climbing lions, Lake Manyara is a completely different ecosystem to the other parks we have visited with grassy floodplains and massive forests to spot unique wildlife and bird-life to this region. With full hearts and memories made, it's time to say fond farewells to your new lifelong friends, and to our African adventure.

Meals:Breakfast, Lunch
Location Visited:Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Arusha

Trip of a lifetime! Made even better by our expert guide Jabiri or ‘JB’ who was very accommodating, knowledgeable, entertaining and above all, very professional. We also had a great group which helped the long car drives go fast! All the Tanzanian locals who worked at the several accomodation places, restaurants and other centres we visited were also lovely! The Masai Village we visited did feel a bit rushed and somewhat of a tourist trap, nonetheless was still a cool experience looking back. Overall, Otherwise the trip not only met our expectations but also exceeded them in every way. Highly recommend!

The Tanzania Safari was an all round amazing experience. I was just so shocked by the sheer amount of animals I saw, I mean of course you go on a safari expecting to see wild animals but I thought maybe we would drive for an hour and see one elephant and then drive a bit longer and catch a glimpse of a giraffe... But I was so wrong! Immediately we were greeted with so many animals. Elephants within touching distance, herds of upwards of 20 zebras, giraffes, and so much more. I saw 4 out of the BIG 5 - only missing out on a rhino but four out of five is a great result. Our guide was amazing. Such a kind and informative man. He was always smiling and really takes pleasure in showing people around his country. Tanzania Safari was an excellent experience from start to finish - the animals being the highlight but the accommodations, all of the meals and all of the things we were able to do were also all so great. The food was delicious. The hot air balloon safari was a stand out thing we got to do, and while this cost a little extra, it was worth every dollar. I enjoyed my Tanzania Safari very much and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone considering an African Safari.

A Tanzania safari had been a dream of mine for years and somehow, the experience exceeded every expectation. From the warm, welcoming people to the incredible food and unique way of life, everything was different from what I imagined, but in the best way. What took my breath away was how close we got to the wildlife, I was genuinely stunned. Seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes just meters away felt surreal. This journey wasn’t just a trip it was a once in a lifetime adventure I’ll never forget

This was the most amazing trip! It’s extremely well organised, the accommodation is good quality, all food is included and there’s plenty of access to water throughout the trip. Our guide JB was incredible! The best guide we have ever had on a tour! He was so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. He easily arranged our transport before and after the trip. He made sure we saw lots of animals and he always got us in good positions to see the animals. We had the most amazing time- it was just perfect!

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
