The 8-Day Tanzania Bush Adventure is designed for true nature lovers seeking an immersive and untamed safari experience through Tanzania’s most celebrated national parks. Traverse iconic landscapes teeming with wildlife, explore remote wilderness areas, and experience warm local hospitality — all while staying in charming, authentic midrange accommodations.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be warmly welcomed by a Simba Soul Destinations representative and transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Settle in, relax, and enjoy a pre-safari briefing. Overnight stay in a comfortable midrange hotel.
Depart Arusha after breakfast and drive to Tarangire National Park, home to immense elephant herds and giant baobab trees. Enjoy a full-day game drive across diverse terrain. Picnic lunch in the park, followed by a sunset drive to your midrange tented camp for dinner and overnight.
Spend another day exploring the lesser-known corners of Tarangire. With its ancient termite mounds, swampy river valleys, and open savannahs, you’ll have a chance to spot big cats, giraffes, zebras, and rare birds. Return to your lodge for a quiet evening under the stars.
Head south to the remote shores of Lake Eyasi for a cultural immersion with the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Learn traditional hunting techniques, visit blacksmith workshops, and engage in rich storytelling. Stay at a rustic midrange lodge nearby for a night of cultural insight and starlit skies.
After an early breakfast, begin your journey to the vast plains of the Serengeti, passing through the Ngorongoro Highlands. Enter Serengeti via the Naabi Hill gate and enjoy game viewing en route to your midrange tented camp, where dinner and a campfire await.
A full day in Serengeti means total wildlife immersion. Whether it’s watching lions on the prowl, a cheetah sprint, or tracking the Great Migration (seasonal), your experienced guide will lead you to the action. Enjoy lunch in the bush and return to camp in the evening.
Enjoy a sunrise game drive in Serengeti before continuing on to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Arrive at your lodge near the crater rim in the afternoon, where you’ll have time to unwind and soak in breathtaking views. Dinner and overnight at your midrange lodge.
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife experience. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to lions, elephants, rhinos, hippos, and more. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the hippo pool before heading back to Arusha, where your unforgettable adventure concludes.

Tanzania offers incredible safaris year-round. The dry season (June to October) is best for game viewing and the Great Migration river crossings. The green season (November to March) is ideal for birding and fewer crowds, with wildebeest calving in southern Serengeti around January–February.
On our midrange safaris, you can expect to see elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest, hippos, cheetahs, leopards, and more. The Ngorongoro Crater also offers a chance to spot the rare black rhino.
