A day that is a very significant part of the MAASAI LAND – The main habitat of the Masai tribe. It extends from the western and northern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro on both sides of the Tanzania and Kenya border.
Early in the morning, we will start our day by travelling north on the main road towards TINGA TINGA. On our way, we will meet authentic and fascinating indigenous people.
This area is one of the most remote and less frequented in the Masai areas on the Kenya-Tanzania border and this way you can feel the lifestyles of the Masai more closely than anywhere else. We’ll visit their villages and experience their traditional way of living. As we continue North, we might encounter Wildlife, especially close to the volcanic mountain – Ol Doinyo Lengai – the Mountain of God…
We will continue on our way to Natron Lake, an alkaline salt lake where the water can reach a temperature up to 60 degrees. Along the way, a very special antelope is found. Generuk – Giraffe Gazelle – long-necked antelope found only in very limited areas in Tanzania. A type of long-necked antelope that has advantage over its competitors in search of higher vegetation.
We’ll stop to eat a warm lunch on the way.
At the end of the day, you will reach Lake Natron. You will go for 90 minutes hike along the waterfalls. Don’t bring your valuables with you.
The lodge is not far from the lake we will visit the next morning.

After lunch in the lodge that we slept in, we will go to a beautiful drive via changing landscape until will reach the Sonjo tribe area and visit the main village of the tribe. We will do a unique tour that only a few have done before. We will learn about the Sonjo culture that is different from the Massai culture.
We will continue moving towards the northern area of the Serengeti Reserve where we will spend the next three days.

The Serengeti national park, the most famous of all Africa and the richest of all wildlife, is a key part of our journey. We will meet the herds – about one and a half million Wildbeeste and Zebras completing each year a circular roaming route north and south between Tanzania and Kenya following the rains and grass in the Serengeti and Masai Mara plains.
During our trip to the savannah plains, we will meet the large predators – Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs.
We will meet herds of elephants, buffalo groups, many species of antelopes that are also part of the prey of the big cats. And many other wonderful creatures. In this day we will drive slowly inside the park, making our way south, while searching for the best photographic scene. Accommodation at –

Ngorongoro Crater – One of the most important attractions of our nature journey. The crater was created millions of years ago by a huge volcanic eruption that left behind by a huge crater whose walls tower up to 600 meters. Many herbivores and a great variety of beautiful birds are located inside.
The crater is the densest place in the world of African animals per square meter, and even the only place where all the “Big Five” can be seen: elephants, rhinos, buffalo, lions and Leopards. The crater is such a delightful area for taking beautiful pictures.
