Safari Itinerary

Day 1: Simanjiro Community Wilderness Area

  • Depart Arusha and drive south on dirt roads with your guide in a 4x4 vehicle onto the Maasai steppe and into the Simanjiro community wilderness area.
  • The journey takes around half a day, and you'll pass through rural farmland becoming pastoralist rangelands the further south you drive.
  • You'll stop for a picnic lunch in a shady spot on the Simanjrio plains, which, in February and March, is filled with calving wildebeest and zebra.
  • This afternoon, you can visit a Maasai boma with your guide, getting your first insights into Maasai life and traditions.
  • These visits are structured but not staged and happen only once or twice per year so are truly authentic.
  • Arrive in the late afternoon at your fly camp, with time to relax and shower before sundowners and dinner served under the African stars
  • Meals: Full board
  • Accommodation: Simanjiro fly camp

Day 2: Simanjiro Community Wilderness Area

  • After breakfast, there is the option for active types to hike up the Oldonyo Sambu Mountain, with a bit of rock scrambling to reach the summit and spectacular 360º views of the Simanjiro plains and the wider Tarangire ecosystem as your reward.
  • Alternatively, set off on a walk from camp with the local Maasai and your expert walking guide to get acquainted.
  • You'll get to learn about the Maasai culture and the medicinal uses of various plants while enjoying the freedom of walking in the savannah.
  • In the evening, you'll have a traditional olpul style roasted goat ("nyama choma"), with guests encouraged to join and help in the preparation.
  • Depending on the mood, the Maasai often encourage dancing around the fire with guests after dinner
  • Meals: Full board
  • Accommodation: Simanjiro fly camp

Day 4: Lakes and Caldera Safari ends

  • Depart your fly camp and the Maasai communities this morning, travelling by 4x4 vehicle with your guide to the eastern entrance of Tarangire National Park.
