Tour Itinerary
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, our team will greet you and transfer you by road to Arusha Coffee Lodge, where you will stay on a bed and breakfast basis. This charming town is nestled beneath the towering peaks of Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Meet your professional driver-guide. Transfer to Tarangire National Park.
Embark on your first photographic safari drive. Focus on capturing the park's iconic baobab trees, diverse birdlife, and large elephant herds.
Take a scenic drive to the Manyara airstrip on the escarpment. Upon arrival, a representative from Ngorongoro Crater Lodge will meet you and drive you to your next lodge. The Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area is home to more than 30,000 protected animals and offers spectacular beauty and excellent game viewing, making it a truly unique safari destination in Africa. The Ngorongoro Crater, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in the world. Today, it has collapsed and eroded into an expansive highland area, with the famous 600-meter-deep Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point.
Wake up early to stunning views of the Crater, and after breakfast, set off for a full-day game drive on the Crater floor, teeming with wildlife. Spot protected Black rhinos, giant tusked elephants, big-maned lions stalking the grasslands, and bright pink flamingos crowding the soda lakes. Take a stroll along the Crater rim with your guide and enjoy sundowners with a sensational view. In the evening, savor exquisite wine at the Winestore, where a special tasting can be arranged.
Take a game drive back to the Manyara Airstrip for your scheduled flight to your chosen camp in the Serengeti – either Serengeti Under Canvas or Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp. The Serengeti National Park, meaning "endless plains" in the Masai language, is one of the world's most celebrated wilderness areas, continuously inspiring writers, filmmakers, and photographers.
Your Camp Manager and Ranger will help you plan your days in the Serengeti. Enjoy twice-daily game drives with sunrise and sundowner stops, or opt for a full-day game drive with a delicious picnic, allowing you to spend the entire day exploring. At Serengeti Under Canvas, experience nature in an authentic way. Roam the sprawling plains on exhilarating game drives, or take a hot-air balloon ride for a once-in-a-lifetime wilderness adventure.
Delight in a shower under the stars, wake up to the golden sunrise through your tent, and sit around a cozy campfire, soaking in the romance and sounds of the bush, far removed from reality. At Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp, take time to enjoy the gushing river and playful hippos, as well as the exceptional year-round lion sightings. Alternatively, take the opportunity to visit Lake Victoria and engage with the local villages and experience their way of life.
Your unforgettable Tanzanian safari experience with Nyamera Treks and Safari comes to an end. Enjoy an early morning game drive and a delightful breakfast before being driven back to the airstrip. We bid you a fond farewell as you board your scheduled flight to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward journey.

Posted on Nesta OAugust 10, 2025Verified Book with Nyamera! I am a teenager, so I am writing from a young perspective. Our experience in Tanzania was awesome, from the animal experiences to the tribal ones! But, what made it most special where our guides, George, the owner and founder of Nyamera, and Hussein our wildlife expert. Anything we asked to see, they would find for us! We spent 2 hours watching a lioness hunt. In the beginning of the trip I told Hussein that one of our guides earlier in the trip found a chameleon in the dark. So, on our very last day we pull over onto the side of the road and he comes back with a chameleon on his finger. We were all in shock, as I had said this as a joke, but if you really want to see something Nyamera will try their very hardest to find that for you. If you have any desire at all to go to Tanzania, then book with Nyamera!Posted on Vanessa KJuly 25, 2025Verified Older Couple – Slow Pace, Big Comfort We are both in our early 60s and were looking for a trip that didn’t feel too rushed. Nyamera Treks and Safaris helped organize a safari that suited our pace. The guide always made sure we had time to stretch, take photos, and never felt hurried. The lodges were comfortable and had everything we needed. Seeing the animals in the Serengeti was a dream come true, and we especially enjoyed watching the sunset over the savannah. It was calm, quiet, and truly special.Posted on Rachel LJuly 24, 2025Verified Luxury Fly-in Safari Nyamera Treks arranged a luxury fly-in safari for our anniversary, and it was exceptional. We flew into Serengeti straight from Arusha—saving time and traveling in comfort. The lodges were stunning, the wildlife was everywhere, and the whole trip felt personalized. Trust them to plan something really specialPosted on VetmccJuly 23, 2025Verified Great Introduction to Tanzania Felt Welcomed from Day One This was my first trip to Tanzania and my first safari ever. I didn’t know what to expect, but I was warmly welcomed and guided throughout. The driver picked me up on time, explained what the day would look like, and made sure I had enough water and snacks. The scenery was stunning – endless open landscapes, acacia trees, and animals I’ve only seen in books. The guide didn’t just show us the animals; he told stories and gave context, which made it more meaningful. I left with a real appreciation for the country.Posted on Gregory OJuly 21, 2025Verified Personal seven day Safari and tribal experience George and the crew at Nyamera are the best! The personalized care that they gave myself in my family was unmatched. The personalized touch we were able to put on the trip, as well as their personalized touch made it an unforgettable trip. They really took the time to make sure that every little detail was taken care of. George, Hussein, and the rest of the crew have become family.Posted on Nancy SJune 11, 2025Verified Nyamera is the BEST! When I first reached out to Nyamera, I was concerned our Tanzanian trip was in jeopardy because based on conversations I had with other operators, we couldn’t afford to do all the things we wanted to experience. I was immediately put at ease by the owner’s amazing communication skills and his abilities to get everything we wanted on the itinerary within our budget. His follow up and organization was always very clear and we landed at Kiliminjaro Airport ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Our trip could not have been organized any better. Our guide was incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and showed genuine concern for our happiness.All the lodging was unique and comfortable and the meals exceeded our expectations. Our guide went out of his way to make sure we experienced all the wildlife sightings we desired. Lions in trees and posing on rocks, cheetahs with babies and carrying a fresh kill. We watched a lioness stalk a herd of wildebeest for 2 hours. We chased the migration and saw huge herds of wildebeest and zebras. Our minds were blown every day!We also had interactions with the Masai, Hadzabe and Dagota tribes which we highly recommend. And, don’t miss the forest walk at Lake Maynara, it was epic!We sang songs together in the Land Cruiser and learned about each other’s families. We arrived as clients, but we left as friends. This trip changed us. It bonded our family and it was worth EVERY penny. Do not hesitate to book with Nyamera! We will always arrange our Africa travel with them and recommend to all our friends and family as well!Posted on LiamMay 28, 2025Verified Organized and Reliable – Everything Ran Smoothly From the very beginning, everything about this trip was well arranged. I had lots of questions before booking, and I always got clear answers by email. When we arrived, someone was already waiting for us at the airport, which was reassuring after a long flight. The same care was shown throughout the safari – clean vehicle, plenty of bottled water, and a guide who clearly cared about both safety and making sure we had a good experience. I never felt lost or confused about the schedule. It all worked out better than I expected.Posted on Tim K.May 28, 2025Verified Relaxing End in Zanzibar – Just What We Needed After a week on the road, we were pretty tired. Spending the last part of our trip in Zanzibar was a perfect way to unwind. The beaches were peaceful and clean, and the water was so warm we ended up swimming every day. The trip was arranged in a way that everything flowed naturally. We had enough time to rest, but we also visited Stone Town, which gave us a taste of Zanzibar’s culture. It wasn’t rushed, and we appreciated that. We didn’t need to worry about anything – our airport pickup, ferry, and hotel were all sorted.Posted on AmeliaMay 27, 2025Verified Solo Traveler – Felt Safe and Cared For the Whole Time I was traveling alone and was a bit nervous, but from the first day I felt completely looked after. I was picked up on time at the airport and everything was explained clearly. During the safari, my guide made sure I was comfortable and included. Even though I was alone, I never felt awkward. The days were full of amazing sights — we saw elephants walking right beside our vehicle, and even spotted a rhino, which I didn’t expect. Evenings were peaceful, and I had time to read and rest. It felt like the right mix of adventure and personal space.Posted on Yusuph RamadhanMay 20, 2025Verified From Safari to Sea – A Well-Balanced Itinerary Our trip combined a few days in Serengeti with a Zanzibar beach stay, and I think the balance was perfect. The first part was full of action – early game drives, watching lions and hyenas, seeing a leopard in a tree. Then we flew to Zanzibar, where everything slowed down. Long walks on the beach, quiet dinners, and time to reflect. I liked that both parts of the trip had a completely different mood. It gave us time to experience the wild and then relax before heading back home.Tripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 24 reviews
Best Time to Travel
The best time for a Tanzania safari largely depends on what you hope to experience. If witnessing the Great Migration in the Serengeti is your goal, then the dry season from late June to October is ideal, as the animals gather in search of water. However, if you’re interested in birdwatching or avoiding crowds, the wet season from November to May might be more appealing.
During this time, the landscapes are lush and green, and you may catch the birthing season, witnessing adorable baby animals taking their first steps. Ultimately, the best time for a Tanzania safari is when it aligns with your interests and preferences, as each season offers its unique charms and wildlife experiences.
