Overview
If you are traveling through East Africa solo or on a budget, trying to book a private safari can be incredibly expensive. This 2-Day Group Joining Safari solves that problem by pairing you with a small, fun group of like-minded international travelers. You share the transport and camping costs, make new friends from around the world, and still get a premium wildlife experience.
On Day 1, your group heads out from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park, an emerald-green sanctuary tucked under the wall of the Great Rift Valley. Here, you’ll drive through lush underground water forests filled with baboon troops, cruise past flamingo-filled soda lakes, and search the branches for Manyara’s legendary tree-climbing lions. In the evening, you’ll head to a lively budget campsite in Mto wa Mbu or Karatu to share safari stories over a hot dinner cooked by your camp chef. On Day 2, your group wakes up early to descend into the prehistoric volcanic caldera of the Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable morning of tracking lions, leopards, hyenas, and the highly endangered black rhino.
Highlights
- Budget-Friendly Social Travel: Join a group of global adventurers, share the experience, and eliminate the high costs of solo travel.
- The Tree-Climbing Lions of Manyara: Keep your eyes on the ancient mahogany and acacia trees to spot lions lounging high up on the branches.
- The Pink Flamingo Soda Shores: Watch thousands of bright pink lesser flamingos blanket the alkaline waters of Lake Manyara.
- The Big Five Crater Arena: Descend 600 meters onto the crater floor, East Africa’s absolute best location to spot elephants, rhinos, lions, leopards, and buffaloes in a single morning.
- Social Campfire Vibes: Unwind at a communal campsite, enjoying fresh, hearty three-course meals prepared by your private safari chef.
