The main destinations on this safari will be Lake Natron, a special and distinctive place in Tanzania, and the beautiful Tarangire Park, where you will be able to see the animals of the savannah up close and let yourself be astonished and enchanted by the wild views of these lands.

We will always be present and at your disposal to give you the opportunity to live one of the most beautiful experiences of your life.

Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and departure for Arusha

Day 2

Tarangire Park

After a sumptuous breakfast at your lodge, you will set off for the splendid Tarangire National Park, the principal destination of most safaris in northern Tanzania, where you will have your first encounter with the animals of the savannah.
The Tarangire is famous for several reasons: presence of majestic baobabs, large variety of animal and plant species, and the presence of African pythons, one of the most dangerous animal species, along with the dreaded black mamba.
Packed lunch, dinner and overnight accommodation at the lodge.

Day 3

Lake Natron

You will be exploring Lake Natron, an alkaline lake in northern Tanzania, on this third day of your safari. Upon arrival at your destination, you will find yourself in front of a beautiful spectacle: a lake filled with flamingos will appear in front of you. Getting to this lake early in the morning is an unforgettable experience, as the light of dawn makes the entire landscape magical.

This lake is a unique in that it is the breeding ground for about two million flamingos, a species present only in Africa, and at risk of extinction. The lake is barely three meters deep and is characterized by a dark red colour and whitish streaks

The lake is also an excellent base for climbing to the top of Ol Doinyo Lengai, which lies 25 km further south. Packed lunch, dinner and overnight accommodation at the lodge.

Day 4

Shopping at Arusha and return home

our vacation is over, but before we drive you to the airport to return home, there is still time for a little shopping trip to Arusha. Here you will find some souvenirs and thoughtful suggestions for all those awaiting your return, and who would have loved to come with you.

Should you still want to stay in Tanzania and explore beautiful paradisiacal islands, Safari Avventura recommends buying the Sea Extension package to stay a few more days.

Amazing private tour with excellent guide Hasheem What an amazing 9 day safari from start to finish. We met at the airport by their driver and driven to our first lodge in Arusha. In the morning we met our fabulous English speaking guide, the lovely gentleman Hasheem! What a guide, what a place, what wonderful places to stay, what sights, what animals, what amazing experiences! Our whole trip was exceptional. Honestly not one negative. Our safari experience definitely exceeded our expectations. Saw all the African big 5, our guide knew where to look how???🤔 Sleeping in the tented camp in Serengeti was an experience in itself. Listening to the animals through the night, and seeing them in the evening and morning . . Wonderful! We would so recommend this company for its attention to detail, great communication through the booking process.

Incredible 5 day private safari for honeymoon We had the most incredible 5-day private safari with Safari Avventura and honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. We visited Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire, and it was the perfect honeymoon experience. From the very beginning, everything was so well organised, including airport pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole trip completely stress-free. Being a private safari also meant everything could be personalised around what we wanted, and Safari Avventura went above and beyond to make the experience special for us. Our guide, Ahmed, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge was incredible — not only of the wildlife and where to find the animals, but also of the parks and Tanzania itself. He was kind, funny, polite and an excellent, safe driver. We felt completely comfortable with him and loved spending our days exploring together. Everything ran so smoothly, Ahmed was always on time, and the lunches were really good too. The little personalised touches made it feel like the safari was truly designed around us rather than just being a standard itinerary. We saw so many incredible animals and had experiences we will remember for the rest of our lives. Safari Avventura made our honeymoon truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to Ahmed and the whole Safari Avventura team for giving us the most amazing safari and the perfect honeymoon. ❤️🦁🐘 We would 100% recommend Safari Avventura to anyone looking for a private, personalised safari in Tanzania!

Amazing holiday We are not used to write reviews, but this time we cannot refrain from posting one! The tour organized by Safari Avventura was great, Tanzania and national parks such as Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro are absolutely unique in the world, and don't need presentations. Still we want to highlight the outstanding services offered by Safari Avventura: everything worked out perfectly and smoothly, our driver was perfectly professional, effective and speaked a very good italian, Christian managed all conditions and drove us alwsys closest to wildlife. Even the smallest event was smoothed out, in continuous contact with headoffice till the last moment. We are very grateful to Safari Avventura for this amazing trip!

7 days safari through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater We had an amazing experience with Safari Avventura and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. We were four people and our itinerary included six days of safari, from August 21st to 26th, followed by a day dedicated to visiting the Hadzabe and Datoga communities. Safari Avventura assigned us Valerio as our guide and Vincent as our driver, and we honestly could not have asked for a better team. Vincent was a fantastic driver: always punctual, calm, careful and extremely professional. Some of the roads during the safari can be very challenging, but he always made us feel completely safe and relaxed, even in the most difficult situations. Valerio was an excellent guide: knowledgeable, attentive and always available to give us useful advice and explanations throughout the trip. He really helped us make the most of every day and was always willing to go the extra mile to give us the best possible experience. Thanks to Valerio and Vincent, during the safari we were able to see everything we could have hoped for, including the Big Five, an incredible variety of wildlife and even an unforgettable cheetah hunting scene. The visit to the Hadzabe and Datoga communities was another highlight of the trip. It felt incredibly authentic and far from a typical tourist experience. The time spent with the Hadzabe was particularly powerful: we had the opportunity to accompany them during a real hunting outing and experience, even for a short time, a glimpse of what their everyday life is actually like. It was a very intense and memorable experience. We were also very interested in visiting a Maasai community, although this was not originally included in the itinerary we had arranged with Safari Avventura. Valerio understood how much we wanted to experience it and managed to make it possible for us during the trip. We really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to do something extra to make our journey even more special. Beyond their professionalism, both Valerio and Vincent were kind, friendly and a real pleasure to spend so many days with. A huge thank you to Safari Avventura for organizing such a wonderful and varied experience, and especially for assigning us Valerio and Vincent. They truly made our trip to Tanzania special and unforgettable.

A wonderful adventure for our honeymoon! We chose Safari Avventura for a 12-day private tour in Tanzania, which included both Safari around the main parks and other activities such as visiting isolated tribes, exploring villages and trekking in nature. The trip was very well organised, and while planning it our preferences were taken into account as well as useful advice was provided. Due to a last-minute change to our flight, we landed at Kilimanjaro airport in advance and the agency was able to reschedule our pick up despite the short notice. The itinerary was very well planned in order to optimise time and transfers from one place to the other. All the lodges where we stayed were stunning and comfortable, with all amenities (hairdryer not often available though) and high hygiene standards. Staff was always very welcoming and kind, breakfast and dinner buffets were rich and delicious offering a wide range of local food. The cars we travelled with were comfortable, well maintained and cleaned daily. Water and soft drinks were provided by the agency daily. A special mentioning goes to the guides who accompanied us through this wonderful adventure. Clement is a very knowledgeable and funny guy. He speaks fluent Italian, English and French. With his accurate information on Tanzania’s wildlife, jokes and contagious laugh he entertained us during the many hours in the car. By sharing details of his personal life, he gave us an authentic picture of life in Tanzania. Timoth is a well experienced English speaking guide and driver, he is extremely professional. He drove us safely and as comfortably as possible on any kind of roads. When a minor issue occurred to our car, he quickly recognised and addressed it. Emmanuel is a very enthusiastic and kind guide and driver, he always welcomed us with a smile. He is knowledgeable and speaks good Italian, he drives very well and took great care of us. Time spent with him was very enjoyable. They all showed profound love of their country, its wildlife and nature, which they treat with great care and respect. On some of our daily adventures, additional local guides were present to show us their own territories and culture. They were all welcoming, professional and spoke English fluently. Thank you Safari Avventura for such a great adventure. We couldn’t have imagined anything more special for our honeymoon!

9 Unforgettable Days in the Heart of Tanzania The experience with Safari Avventura was amazing. We spent 9 unforgettable days on a very well-organised trip, combining 6 days of safari in Tarangire, Northern Serengeti, Central Serengeti and Ngorongoro with a wonderful visit to Lake Natron and a trek to some beautiful waterfalls. We also spent one day visiting two local tribes and learning about their traditions and way of life, and another day discovering rice cultivation, banana plantations and local food. A special thanks goes to our Italian-speaking guide, Clement, and our driver, Timoth. We truly felt at home with them. Clement is a wonderful person: very friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. He speaks very good Italian and English and made every part of the safari interesting and enjoyable. Timoth was always extremely focused on driving and knew the roads perfectly. We always felt safe and comfortable with him, even during the longest and most challenging drives. Both of them took great care of us throughout the entire journey. We will really miss them and would highly recommend them to both Italian- and English-speaking travellers. Thank you, Safari Avventura, for making our honeymoon such a wonderful journey through Tanzania. We will never forget it. Hakuna Matata! L’esperienza con Safari Avventura è stata fantastica. Abbiamo trascorso 9 giorni indimenticabili in un viaggio organizzato molto bene, combinando 6 giorni di safari tra Tarangire, Serengeti Nord, Serengeti Centrale e Ngorongoro con una splendida visita al Lago Natron e un trekking verso bellissime cascate. Abbiamo inoltre dedicato una giornata alla visita di due tribù locali, conoscendo più da vicino le loro tradizioni e il loro modo di vivere, e un’altra giornata alla scoperta della coltivazione del riso, delle piantagioni di banane e del cibo locale. Un ringraziamento speciale va alla nostra guida parlante italiano, Clement, e al nostro autista, Timoth. Con loro ci siamo sentiti davvero a casa. Clement è una persona splendida: molto amichevole, professionale ed estremamente preparata. Parla molto bene sia italiano che inglese e ha reso ogni parte del safari interessante e piacevole. Timoth è sempre stato estremamente attento alla guida e conosceva perfettamente le strade. Con lui ci siamo sempre sentiti al sicuro e a nostro agio, anche durante gli spostamenti più lunghi e impegnativi. Entrambi si sono presi cura di noi durante tutto il viaggio. Ci mancheranno molto e li consigliamo davvero sia ai viaggiatori italiani sia a quelli di lingua inglese. Grazie a Safari Avventura per aver reso il nostro viaggio di nozze un’esperienza meravigliosa attraverso la Tanzania. Non lo dimenticheremo mai. Hakuna Matata!

Amazing Safari and Zanzibar Experience! We spent 4 days on safari in Tanzania: 1 day in Tarangire, 2 days in the Serengeti, and 1 day in Ngorongoro. It was a truly unforgettable experience, perfectly organized from start to finish. The lodges were excellent, comfortable, and well located. A special thanks to our guide Christian, who was fantastic: he spoke very good Italian, was always helpful and friendly, and was extremely knowledgeable. His experience and explanations made our safari enjoyable and interesting. The organization was excellent, from transfers to accommodation, and everything went smoothly. We then ended our trip with a stay in Zanzibar, where we stayed at another excellent property, perfect for relaxing after the safari adventure. A wonderful, exciting, and very well-organized trip that we would definitely recommend. A 5-star experience!
