Safari from Zanzibar - Masai Culture and Ngorongoro - Two Days

MEET THE MAASAI

Flight Zanzibar - Arusha Airport 11:30 - 12:30

Located just an hour’s drive from Arusha Airport, the picturesque town of Monduli Juu offers visitors a unique perspective on Maasai life. Located in a breathtaking caldera, this town is a living, breathing example of how the proud Maasai people are adapting to Tanzania’s rapid modernisation while also conserving their traditional way of life.

Upon arrival, your guide will introduce you to members of the local community and give you an insight into the day to day goings on in an authentic Maasai village. After your morning of cultural exploration, you’ll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch in the wilderness that surrounds the village. If you’re feeling adventurous, your guide can even take you on a hike through this evergreen rainforest!

After breakfast, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater; sometimes considered as the 8th Wonder of the World.

Home to over 120 species of mammal including the fabled Big Five, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of the most sought-after safari destinations in the world. It's a particularly good place to see the endangered black rhinoceros enjoying a lonely meal out on the grass plains, as well as a place to see large numbers of hippopotamus enjoying the cool water. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you'll be able to observe and photograph some of Africa's most recognizable faces.

The crater is home to a large number of predators including lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, and hyenas, as well as a large population of wildebeest, zebras, antelope, cape buffalo, and more. It is truly one of Africa's premier safari destinations. After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the park's famous hippo pool. Thereafter, you will drive back to Arusha Airport.
