Tour Overview

This three-day safari with Redream Safaris offers an extraordinary journey through Northern Tanzania, blending iconic wildlife encounters, dramatic landscapes, and rich cultural experiences. Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, renowned for its vast savannahs, majestic baobab trees, and large elephant herds. The park’s seasonal Tarangire River draws a variety of wildlife, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and countless bird species, making every game drive an exciting and rewarding experience.

Next, the safari continues to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, home to the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. This ancient volcanic caldera supports one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife. A game drive across the crater floor offers the chance to see the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—along with hippos, flamingos, and an array of birdlife. The breathtaking scenery combined with abundant wildlife ensures that Ngorongoro remains a highlight of any Tanzanian safari.

The journey concludes with a visit to Lake Eyasi, a serene Rift Valley lake celebrated for its stunning scenery and unique cultural heritage. Here, guests have the opportunity to meet the Hadzabe and Datoga communities, two of Tanzania’s remaining hunter-gatherer and pastoralist tribes. This cultural encounter provides a rare and meaningful insight into traditional ways of life that have endured for centuries, adding a special human dimension to your wildlife adventure.
