Discover Tanzania on a 7-Day Safari of Wildlife and Culture
Embark on an unforgettable 7-day Tanzania safari with Chalema Tanzania Safaris — a seamless blend of wildlife encounters and immersive cultural experiences that go far beyond game drives.
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha – First Glimpse of Nature
Your journey starts in Arusha, where Tanzania’s safari spirit welcomes you. Settle into the eco-friendly Karama Lodge & Spa before venturing into Arusha National Park. This serene gem features giraffes, zebras, and lush montane forests. It’s a gentle, scenic introduction to the untamed beauty that lies ahead.
Day 2: Lake Manyara – Lions in the Trees
Drive to Lake Manyara National Park, where tree-climbing lions rule and flamingos flock along the soda lake’s edge. The compact park surprises with elephants, baboons, and countless bird species. After a captivating day, retreat to Marera Valley Lodge to reflect on the magic of Manyara.
Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater – Wildlife’s Hidden Paradise
Descend into the vast Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO-listed wonder that holds Africa’s Big Five. Lions bask in the golden grass, rhinos graze quietly, and elephants roam the forested edges. It’s one of the most biodiverse spots on the continent. Spend another evening in comfort at Marera Valley Lodge.
Day 4: Lake Eyasi – Meet the Hadzabe and Datoga Tribes
Today is about connection. Visit Lake Eyasi and engage with the Hadzabe, one of Africa’s last hunter-gatherer tribes. Learn their hunting techniques and ancestral stories. Later, meet the Datoga blacksmiths and hear tales of survival and tradition. Return to Marera Lodge enriched and inspired.
Day 5: Mto wa Mbu – Cultural Fusion
Mto wa Mbu is a lively town where over 120 tribes coexist. Wander its colorful markets, taste local banana beer, and tour rice fields and artisan workshops. Then travel to the Original Maasai Lodge, tucked near West Kilimanjaro, for a deeper cultural dive.
Day 6: West Kilimanjaro – Among the Maasai
Spend the day living Maasai life. Join spear-throwing contests, walk through the bush with warriors, and listen to ancient chants. As the sun sets, watch traditional dances framed by Mount Kilimanjaro’s silhouette — a moment that lingers long after you leave.
Day 7: Farewell to Tanzania
Your 7-day journey closes with a heartfelt goodbye to the Maasai community. You’ll depart from Kilimanjaro International Airport carrying stories of wilderness, warmth, and wonder.
