In the Swahili language, RAFIKI means “Friend”. This is the 6-day, 5-night itinerary to discover the 3 main parks of northern Tanzania: Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire.

Excluding the days of arrival and departure, the Rafiki safari includes:

LAKE MANYARA 1 day

As we begin our safari in Lake Manyara Park, we will encounter a very diverse vegetation. Swamps and evergreen forests are succeeded by stretches of Savannah, making this place a synthesis of as many as 11 different ecosystems. We will spot the many species of birds that inhabit this lake including: pelicans, flamingos, herons, and eagles.

NGORONGORO 1 day

The visit to the Ngorongoro crater will amaze you with the variety of ecosystems that coexist in it: savannah, acacia forests, lakes, swamps and salt marshes. For this reason, the concentration of fauna is amazing, consisting of herds of zebras and wildebeests, numerous colonies of flamingos, countless species of birds as well as lions, elephants and hyenas.

SERENGETI 2 days

We’ll spend two days in the most important protected natural area in East Africa, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. We will go in search of the giants of the savannah, better known as the BIG FIVE: elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and buffalo.

TARANGIRE 1 day

The last day of our journey will take us to discover a greener landscape characterized by baobab trees and typical umbrella acacias. Inhabitants of this park are warthogs, dik-dik, gazelles, giraffes and elephants.
