Northern Tanzania
Eyasi & the wild north
From the elephants of Tarangire to the hunter‑gatherers of Lake Eyasi, from the Ngorongoro Crater to the remote northern Serengeti — a journey that weaves together culture, crater, and the far reaches of the migration.
Culture, crater & the far north
Thirteen days that go beyond the classic circuit. Two days with the Hadzabe bushmen, the world’s last hunter‑gatherers. Then deep into the northern Serengeti, where the migration crosses the Mara River — a journey of profound encounters.
Arusha

Lake Eyasi – Hadzabe & Datoga
Meet the Hadzabe hunter‑gatherers. Learn tracking, medicinal plants, and hunt with them using traditional poisons. Visit Datoga homesteads. Later drive to Ngorongoro.

Northern Serengeti approach
Full day game drive moving towards the northern sector. Abundant wildlife and birdlife as landscapes shift.
Northern Serengeti
Two full days in the wild northern sector. Here the migration crosses the Mara River. Vast herds, dramatic river crossings (in season), and fewer vehicles.
