Today you are flying to Tanzania with high expectations.

Your tour guide will meet you at Kilimanjaro Airport. After a short drive to the entrance gate of Arusha National Park and a coffee break, you might be lucky enough to spot some wildlife. Then it's time to arrive at Hatari Lodge, enjoy the sunset and dinner. Lunch and dinner are included in the price. Hatari Lodge: The Hatari Lodge is situated in a stunning setting within Arusha National Park. Hardy Krüger's former homes now form the heart of this comfortable accommodation. Here, the hosts will ensure you have a unique and personalized stay. From the restaurant, where you can enjoy a predominantly vegetarian culinary experience in the evenings, a boardwalk leads to the viewing platform. Here you can observe animals in the clearing and enjoy the sunset.

After breakfast in breathtaking surroundings, your first safari in Arusha National Park awaits. Following a short drive, you'll embark on an approximately one-hour walking safari to Tululusia Waterfall at the foot of the 4,566-meter-high Mount Meru. Afterwards, you'll set off on a game drive in a 4x4 vehicle. With a bit of luck, you'll see numerous animal species such as zebras, giraffes, buffalo, antelopes, and monkeys up close at the Momella Lakes and the Ngurdoto Crater. In the evening, a sundowner against a stunning backdrop will sweeten your reflection on the day's many impressions. The included meals consist of breakfast, a picnic lunch, and dinner. You will stay in the same accommodation as the previous day.

Today you'll travel through Maasai country: with a bit of luck, you'll pass a weekly market and be able to observe the vibrant activity. Around midday, you'll reach Tarangire National Park with its impressive baobab trees and large herds of elephants. The heart of the park is the Tarangire River, which also attracts warthogs, zebras, buffalo, waterbuck, and lions. After a game drive through the park with time for wildlife viewing, you'll continue towards Karatu to your accommodation. To end the day, a fantastic view awaits you: coffee plants as far as the eye can see! A snack to stave off hunger at Hatari Lodge consists of tea, coffee, and biscuits. Breakfast will be served today by the wonderful women of the "Wondergarden" initiative. Picnic lunch and dinner are included in the price. At the Wondergarden women's initiative, which is actively supported by the owners of Hatari Lodge, you'll learn about alternative cultivation methods, fertilizers, pesticides, and the various types of vegetables, roots, and fruits. The local women possess a wealth of knowledge about the benefits, properties, and uses of each plant, which they are eager to share with you. Highview Coffee Lodge: Perched on a hilltop in Karatu, the Highview Coffee Lodge is nestled within a large garden and sprawling plantation. The theme of coffee is subtly present throughout, even in the velvety dark brown of the furnishings. Four bungalows each offer two rooms, private terraces, and stunning views across the fertile farmland. Relax and soak in the panorama. And if time allows, indulge in a massage at the spa before ending the day with a cup of coffee or a cocktail at the pool bar.

After breakfast, a tour of the farm is on the agenda. You'll learn even more about the country and its people, especially about social work, at the Mwema Street Children Center in Karatu – a refuge for street children. This is followed by a drive to Africa's most famous wildlife area: the Serengeti, with its endless savannahs and vast herds of wild animals. Before arriving at Serengeti National Park, there will be a photo stop at the Ngorongoro Crater. The included meals consist of breakfast, a picnic lunch, and dinner. The safari tents at Serengeti Wildcamp all have a basic shower/toilet located in a separate area at the rear of the tent. Every evening, the camp staff heat the water tank with firewood to provide you with a hot shower. Serengeti Wildcamp: The Serengeti Wildcamp gives you the feeling of being right in the heart of it all: The safari tents are situated in the middle of the grassy savannah. Each tent is fully equipped with two beds and a bathroom with shower and toilet. A pleasant breeze wafts through the mesh windows, and you usually have a breathtaking view of the Serengeti directly from your bed, allowing you to listen to the sounds of nature at night. Local and international dishes are served in the restaurant tent, and the campfire area beckons at the end of the day under a unique starry sky.

You'll set off early in the morning to take advantage of the best chances for spotting hyenas, jackals, and other animals at sunrise. Around midday, you'll return to your accommodation for brunch. In the afternoon, another game drive awaits, and you'll set out in search of buffalo, elephants, leopards, lions, cheetahs, and more. Typical of the area are the kopjes, small rocky islets where lions like to bask in the sun. With a bit of luck, you might even see a cheetah or lion hunting its dinner. Breakfast consists of tea, coffee, and biscuits to stave off hunger. After the early morning game drive, an early lunch (brunch) will be served at the camp. Dinner is also included in the tour price. You will stay in the same accommodation as the previous day.

Experience a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti at sunrise, followed by a champagne breakfast amidst nature. The price for the approximately one-hour hot air balloon ride with breakfast is €650 per person. Other international guests will also participate. The duration and route of the flight depend on the weather and wind conditions. This optional activity takes place as an alternative to the early morning safari. Please book this excursion with us well in advance of your trip.

Even more safari: In the savannah landscape, you might see some animals you didn't encounter yesterday. Enjoy the vastness before heading to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the early afternoon. Here, your accommodation awaits you with fantastic views and the sounds of nature. Breakfast, a picnic lunch and dinner are included in the price. Ngorongoro Wildcamp: You can't get closer to nature than at Ngorongoro Wildcamp in the south of the famous sanctuary. In this unfenced camp nestled among the trees, you'll sleep in comfortable safari tents on wooden platforms with en-suite bathrooms. The breathtaking view from your veranda stretches all the way to Lake Eyasi. But you don't even need to look far to see zebras, giraffes, and honey badgers, because these animals often wander right through the camp.

The Ngorongoro Crater also presents itself in all its glory, as it boasts the highest density of predators in Africa and offers the best chance of spotting a rhino. After lunch, another safari awaits, followed by a return trip to the crater rim. There, in the heart of Maasai country, you'll embark on an approximately two-hour hike, during which you'll likely encounter some Maasai from the surrounding villages. The included meals consist of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Please do not photograph or film the Maasai during your hike today. They are going about their daily lives, and we want to treat them with respect and not get too close. You will stay in the same accommodation as the previous day.

Zanzibar is calling. Say goodbye to the mainland, because it's time to head to the airport and fly to relaxation. You'll be expected in Zanzibar, and after your arrival in the evening, the day will end with a traditional meal overlooking the rooftops of Stone Town. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the price. Mizingani Seafront Hotel: The Mizingani Seafront Hotel boasts an ideal location – right on the lively beachfront promenade, just a short walk from the harbor and the historic old town of Stone Town.

Afterwards, you'll leave the city and head towards the east coast. But first, a stroll through the village of Mangapwani awaits, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals. A short spice tour will bring back many of the aromas reminiscent of home cooking. From there, it's just a short distance to the golden beaches and your comfortable accommodation on the east coast. The included meals consist of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Some of the villagers of Mangapwani will prepare a traditional lunch for you. Your local hosts live in typical, and by our standards, very simple conditions. Food is served traditionally, and it's customary to eat with your fingers. Of course, cutlery will be provided upon request. Your hosts won't mind and will always strive to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Your visit will make a small contribution to improving the local way of life, as it provides your hosts with a small additional income. Please note that during Ramadan, the traditional lunch cannot be eaten at the family's home, and you will instead have lunch at a restaurant. AQUA Beach Resort & Spa: Located on Zanzibar's most beautiful stretch of coastline, the AQUA Beach Resort & Spa is a barefoot oasis. The ever-helpful hosts are ready to pamper your body and soul in the spa, infinity pool, ten palm-thatched villas (each with two deluxe rooms), and four beachfront villas.
