Itinerary in detail

Every trip is shaped around you. Below is a sample route to start from; we change any part of it to suit you.

Days 1-2

Overnight in Arusha

Arguably the safari capital of East Africa, Arusha is a bustling city and the main hub as you embark on one of our Tanzania bespoke trips in this extensively game-rich country. Located right on the cusp of famous national parks, like Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Manyara National Park; and in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru; the thriving multicultural African city draws in thousands of tourists every year.

Overnight in Arusha

Where you could stay

This inspiring social enterprise supports and employs talented artisans with disabilities. Shanga (meaning ‘bead’ in Swahili) was founded by a deaf woman who made necklaces using fabric and marbles. Demand for her jewellery grew and she eventually expanded into a wide range of products including weaving, glass blowing, beading, paper making and metal work, using recycled materials wherever possible. The self-sustaining social enterprise now employs 34 people with disabilities.

Watch artisans in action or take a guided tour on a visit tailored to suit your interests. Try your hand at the delicate art of glassblowing, feel the rhythmic motion of the weaving looms, or learn some intricate Maasai beading techniques. You can also take a Swahili sign language lesson so you’ll be able to communicate with the deaf artisans.

Days 3-4

Dramatic Ngorongoro

Spend your days exploring all the dramatic scenery and wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area. The largest intact volcanic caldera in the world, its magnificent topography and fertile soils attract a wide variety of plains game and predators in what makes for a thrilling amphitheatre of wildlife viewing. The Big Five are all present here including Black Rhino and you can spot flamingos on the central soda lake, zebras grazing on the plains, lions lazing in the tall grass, leopards lying in the trees, as well as big “tuskers” in the forests.

Make it mine

Full or half days tours of the crater

Descend 600 metres / 2,000 feet down from the crater rim to the crater floor for some time exploring the dramatic scenery and wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater with your guide. After a picnic lunch on the crater floor, continue game viewing before beginning your ascent back to the crater rim and return to you lodge to relax for the rest of the day or evening.

Days 5-8

Serengeti safari

Spend your days exploring the northern reaches of the Serengeti on safari, tracking the great array of game and wildlife that this vast area offers. If you’re there at the right time for the great migration (depending on the season), this is the region where the herds are at their most concentrated as they seek to cross the Mara River to reach the open grasslands beyond, and it’s where (if you’re lucky) you’ll see iconic river crossings. It’s also an area of untamed natural beauty, of rolling hills, rivers, forests and open plains.

“Tanzania safari”

Jacada was helpful and responsive every step of the process. Jamey Lowis designed our amazing trip to Tanzania.

Our guide, Daniel, was top notch and went out of…
