Wild Beginning: A Safari into the Season of Birth

• DAY 1
• Welcome to Tanzania – Arusha.

Upon arrival at the airport, you’ll be warmly greeted by our representative and transferred to a peaceful hotel in Arusha. Nestled in natural surroundings, it’s the perfect place to rest, refresh, and prepare for the adventure ahead..

• DAY 2-3
• Lake Manyara – Cradle of Cubs

Begin your safari experience with a visit to Mto wa Mbu, a vibrant town where you can explore colorful markets and connect with local culture.
Your journey continues with two nights near Lake Manyara National Park, a lush, wildlife-rich haven. Here, you might spot newborn elephants, tiny baboons clinging to their mothers, and perhaps even elusive predators during a night game drive or tranquil walking safari. The arrival of new life brings both serenity and suspense.

• DAY 4-6
• Serengeti – The Great Nursery.

Venture into the vast southern plains of the Serengeti, where calving season is in full swing. For a few weeks each year, this landscape transforms into a sprawling nursery teeming with tens of thousands of newborns. It’s a time of abundance—and heightened danger.
Watch as wildebeest calves find their legs, zebra foals gallop at their mother’s heels, and predators like lions and cheetahs seize the moment. With your expert guide leading the way, you’ll witness scenes of drama, tenderness, and survival that few ever get to see.

• DAY 7-8
• Ngorongoro Crater – Baby Big Five.

The adventure continues with a scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Highlands, where you'll settle into a charming lodge just outside the crater rim. The next day begins with an early descent into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a world-renowned sanctuary and one of the best places to spot the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard—possibly with their young. Surrounded by ancient walls of volcanic rock, this natural amphitheater offers one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife experiences.

• DAY 9-10
• Return & Farewell – Arusha & Beyond.

Return to Arusha, where you can relax, shop for handmade treasures, or enjoy a final Tanzanian meal.
For those not quite ready to say goodbye, we’d be delighted to arrange a beach extension to Zanzibar or Mafia Island—perfect for unwinding after days in the bush. Alternatively, we’ll ensure a smooth transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your evening flight home.
This soulful journey—filled with life’s tender beginnings and powerful wildlife encounters—is one you’ll never forget
