Group Join Tanzania Safari we always have other clients wishing to join safaris, this is an affordable way to do your safaris, you may join as a single traveler or as a couple etc, safaris start and end in Arusha Town. By small group safaris we are referring to safaris which have set departure dates and are designed for those who might prefer to join a small group rather than arrange a tailor made safari.
There are a number of advantages (and some disadvantages) – on the up side, they are usually more reasonably priced and feature a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. They are also a great way to meet other travelers from around the world. The only potentially negative aspects that you need to keep in mind are the fact that the itinerary is ‘set in stone’ and that each tour leaves on specified dates through the year which may not coincide with when you had planned to arrive in Africa.
Group Join Tanzania Safari this is a fantastic safari tour that takes you to Tanzania’s main national parks including Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and of course the world famous Serengeti.

Itinerary
Day 01. Lake Manyara.
Group Join Tanzania Safari leave Arusha arriving by lunch time, proceed to Lake Manyara National Park for afternoon game drive
From the entrance gate, the road winds through an expanse of lush jungle-like groundwater forest where hundred-strong baboon troops lounge nonchalantly along the roadside, blue monkeys scamper nimbly between the ancient mahogany trees, dainty bushbuck tread warily through the shadows, and outsized forest hornbills honk cacophonously in the high canopy.
Contrasting with the intimacy of the forest is the grassy floodplain and its expansive views eastward, across the alkaline lake, to the jagged blue volcanic peaks that rise from the endless Maasai Steppes. Large buffalo, wildebeest and zebra herds congregate on these grassy plains, as do giraffes – some so dark in coloration that they appear to be black from a distance. Dinner and overnight at campsite.
Day 02. Serengeti National Park .
Group Join Tanzania Safari after breakfast depart for Serengeti national park Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed a 7th world wide wonder, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration,
when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing.Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. Meals and overnight at campsite.
Day 03. Serengeti National Park-
Group Join Tanzania Safari a full day with morning and afternoon game drives to explore the plains.The spectacle of predator versus prey dominates Tanzania’s greatest park. Golden-maned lion prides feast on the abundance of plain grazers. Solitary leopards haunt the acacia trees lining the Seronera River, while a high density of cheetahs prowls the southeastern plains.
A million wildebeest… each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life:
a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north;
replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.
Almost uniquely, all three African jackal species occur here, alongside the spotted hyena and a host of more elusive small predators, ranging from the insectivorous aardwolf to the beautiful serval cat, evening drive back to the camp for hot shower , Dinner and overnight at campsite.
Day 04.Serengeti National Park- Ngorongoro Conservation Area After breakfast depart for Ngorongoro, via olduvai gorge , with picnic lunch, visit maasi village, Ngorongoro one of the natural wonders of the world.
Apart from conserving world heritage, Ngorongoro plays a major role in national development. “We pay 30 per cent corporate tax, 3 per cent tourism tax, and remit 10 per cent of our earnings to the treasury”, explains Bernard Murunya, the NCAA’s Chief Conservator. “We also give over US$125,000 to the local District Council as well as supporting the area’s Pastoralist Council, in addition to funding various community projects such as schools, hospitals, veterinary services and road construction,” he adds. Meals and overnight at campsite.
Day 05. Ngorongoro crater.
Group Join Tanzania Safari after early morning breakfast, leave with picnic lunch for a full day crater tour, you will be taken 2000ft down the crater by a 4wheel drive vehicle. Encompassing three spectacular volcanic craters, the Olduvai Gorge, huge expanses of savannah, forest and bush land, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the flagship of Tanzania’stourism industry.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA), measuring 8,300 square kilometres, is also the only place on earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony. The NCAA became a Man and Biosphere Reserve in 1971 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
Originally part of the Serengeti National Park when the latter was established by the British in 1951, in 1959 the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) was formed, separating NCAA from Serengeti. Land within the area is multi-use, providing protection status for wildlife while also permitting human habitation. Its uniqueness lays in the fact that the NCA is where man, livestock and wild animals live in peace: Maasai cattle can sometimes be seen grazing alongside zebras on Ngorongoro’s grassland.
Explore the crater before ascending back to the camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 06. Tarangire National Park
Group Join Tanzania Safari after breakfast in Ngorongoro drive to Tarangire National Park with picnic lunch . Afternoon game drive. The fierce sun sucks the moisture from the landscape, baking the earth a dusty red, the withered grass as brittle as straw. The Tarangire River has shrivelled to a shadow of its wet season self. But it is choked with wildlife. Thirsty nomads have wandered hundreds of parched kilometres knowing that here, always, there is water.
Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It’s the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem – a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where dry-country antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.
Dinner and overnight at campsite.
Day 07. Tarangire National Park – Arusha.
Group Join Tanzania Safari after breakfast go for a morning walking Safari just Inside the park escorted by armed park ranger ,
During the rainy season, the seasonal visitors scatter over a 20,000 sq km (12,500 sq miles) range until they exhaust the green plains and the river calls once more. But Tarangire’s mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry.
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.
The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.
On drier ground you find the Kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world’s largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills blustering like turkeys.
More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful yellow-collared lovebird, and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.
Disused termite mounds are often frequented by colonies of the endearing dwarf mongoose, and pairs of red-and-yellow barbet, which draw attention to themselves by their loud, clockwork-like duetting.
Tarangire’s pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches where the fruit of the sausage tree disguises the twitch of a tail.
then depart for Arusha arrive in the late afternoon drop off to your Hotel for dinner and overnight .
