Lace up your boots—it’s time to get moving. This morning we’ll hike to the stunning Materuni Waterfall, winding through lush forest and the fertile farmland of the Chagga tribe. Expect mountain views, fresh air, and a glimpse into daily life in this beautiful corner of Tanzania. (Yes, there will be banana trees. No, you can’t smuggle one home.)

By midday, it’s time to caffeinate—with a twist. You’ll learn how coffee goes from bean to brew, the traditional way, with singing, dancing, and some impressively energetic bean pounding. It’s hands-on, joyful, and a little bit messy. You’ll earn your cup of coffee—and your hearty local lunch.

In the afternoon, we’ll head to the spectacular Osiligilai Maasai Lodge, nestled between Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. Here, you’ll be welcomed by the Maasai community for a unique, immersive experience. Sleep in a traditional Maasai-style hut—don’t worry, it has a few modern comforts—and soak in the views, the culture, and the serenity.

Today is about connection. To nature. To people. And to the deep, grounding rhythm of Tanzanian life.

Accommodation: Osiligilai Maasai Lodge

Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Early riser or slow starter? The choice is yours. You can greet the day with a sunrise over the mighty Kilimanjaro, an unforgettable moment worth the early alarm, or enjoy a well-deserved lie-in and a leisurely breakfast. No judgement here.

After breakfast, we’ll visit a powerful community initiative led by local Maasai women. Learn how they’re preserving traditions, supporting families, and building a future on their own terms. It’s inspiring, eye-opening, and a chance to engage in meaningful conversation beyond the usual tourist path.

Next, we hit the road toward Karatu, with a stop in the colourful town of Mto wa Mbu, famous for its local market bursting with crafts, spices, and stories. This is your chance to practice your Swahili (or your haggling skills) and soak up the energy of everyday life.

By late afternoon, we’ll arrive in Karatu, a peaceful town on the edge of the Ngorongoro Highlands. Relax by the pool, sip something cold, and breathe in the fresh highland air, tomorrow, the real wild begins.

Today, we rise early and head straight into one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders: the Ngorongoro Crater. Formed by a collapsed volcano, this vast, green bowl is a wildlife haven like no other. It’s one of the only places in Africa where you can spot all of the Big Five in a single day… if nature’s feeling generous.

Keep your eyes peeled for rhinos grazing in the mist, lions lazing in the morning sun, and flamingos dotting the soda lake like pink confetti. With luck, you’ll see hyenas skulking, elephants strolling, and warthogs doing their best not to trip over their own legs. It’s dramatic, it’s diverse, and it’s a place that leaves a lasting impression.

After a picnic lunch in the crater (watch out for snack-thieving birds), we’ll continue on to the legendary Serengeti. As the landscapes open up and the horizon stretches endlessly, you’ll feel the shift...the wild is calling.

By evening, we’ll arrive at our lodge, perfectly placed for game viewing and stargazing. Sleep tonight comes with a soundtrack of distant roars and rustling grasses.

Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Wake up to the sounds of the Serengeti, maybe a lion’s low rumble, or the distant whoop of hyenas wrapping up a night of mischief. Today, we dedicate ourselves entirely to the wild. No rush, no fences, just you, your guide, and one of the greatest ecosystems on earth.

The Serengeti is where nature shows off. Endless golden plains, acacia-dotted landscapes, and a cast of characters that includes elephants, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, and those impossibly photogenic lions draped over rocks like royalty.

We’ll break for a proper hot lunch served out in the bush—yes, in the middle of nowhere, and yes, it’s safe (ish). With the breeze in your hair and wildlife all around, it’s the kind of picnic that makes you forget every sad desk lunch you’ve ever had.

After lunch, we continue exploring. Maybe we’ll follow a cheetah on the hunt, stumble upon a herd of elephants with babies in tow, or simply sit and watch the plains breathe.

By sunset, we return to the lodge with dusty boots, full memory cards, and stories already trying to outdo each other.

It’s our final morning in the Serengeti, so if there’s anything we haven’t spotted yet, now’s your chance. Maybe that elusive leopard in a tree? Or a pride of lions on the move? With the early light casting golden tones across the plains, it’s a magical time to be out in the wild.

After breakfast and one last game drive through these legendary landscapes, we make our way south to Ndutu, a quieter corner of the Greater Serengeti ecosystem that comes alive during the calving season. Think of it as the Serengeti’s best-kept secret… with extra baby animals.

We’ll arrive in time for an afternoon game drive, and if luck is on our side, you’ll witness one of nature’s most heartwarming (and nail-biting) spectacles: newborn wildebeest taking their first shaky steps while predators lurk nearby. It’s the circle of life in real time: raw, real, and unforgettable.

By evening, we settle into our Ndutu lodge, surrounded by open plains and starlit skies. The wild isn’t done with us yet.

Accommodation: Sero Tented Camp

Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

We’ll rise with the sun for one final game drive in Ndutu. The early morning light paints the plains in gold, and with luck, we’ll catch the wildlife before the heat settles in, perhaps a cheetah stretching after a hunt, or a baby wildebeest wobbling alongside its mother.

It’s our last chance to soak in the rhythm of the wild. Take it slow. Breathe it in. This is the kind of morning that etches itself into your memory forever.

After lunch, we begin the journey north toward Karatu, retracing our route through open plains and highland villages. There’s a different kind of energy now, part satisfied, part sentimental, as we swap stories, spot the occasional giraffe en route, and reflect on just how much we’ve seen.

Tonight, we’ll gather for a special farewell dinner. It’s a celebration of the adventure we’ve shared, the people we’ve met, and the footprints we’re leaving behind, on each other and this incredible land.

There may be tears. There will definitely be laughter. And if the mood strikes, maybe a toast to doing life a little more adventurously.

Accommodation: Eileen's Tree Inn

Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch and dinner

For our final morning, we travel back in time, thousands of years, to be exact, as we meet the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in East Africa. Living in near-complete harmony with the land, their way of life offers a rare and humbling insight into human history, resilience, and simplicity.

This isn’t a show—it’s an invitation. A chance to learn directly from the Hadzabe about tracking, tool-making, and what it means to live without the noise of the modern world. It’s raw, real, and likely unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

After this meaningful farewell to the land and its people, we’ll begin our final drive back toward the airport. Bags may be heavier, hearts certainly will be.

We’ll say our goodbyes, until next time, with sand in our shoes, new friendships in our pockets, and stories that will be told for years.

Safari njema, fellow adventurer. Your journey doesn’t end here, it just gets passed on.
