The welcome ceremony commences with the blowing of a pukaea or putaratara (carved wooden trumpet or conch shell) by the kaimatire (lookout guard) posted in the puhara (defense tower). A toa (warrior) from the home tribe is sent out to challenge the elected male chief of the manuhiri (visitors) in an attempt to ascertain the reason for the visitors' approach to the village and whether they come in friendliness or animosity.

A Maori chief officially welcomes guests and simple encounter rituals are performed for our group. We view the hangi meal being lifted from the earth oven and enjoy the feast of cultural storytelling, entertainment and Maori Kai indigenous food. Tonight’s dinner is a unique experience immersing ourselves in the Māori culture.

Between June and November, Tarangire National Park plays host to a migration that will be an impressive site to see! Get Ready for an Exciting Day!

Lake Manyara National Park is an unspoiled paradise of ground water forest fed by underground springs and teeming with wildlife such as elephants, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes, and some of the largest baboon troops in Africa. Apart from a spectacular setting, the park is famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions and the vast elephant herds it was established to protect.

► NGORONGORO CRATER CONSERVATION AREA (2 NIGHTS): We are staying at the Ngorongoro Farm House, a 500 acre coffee farm nestle in a beautiful woodland area and located less than 3 miles from the Lolduare entrance to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Set in a tranquil coffee plantation, the location is perfect for unwinding after our safari game drives, offering picturesque views and an inviting atmosphere. Tanzania's biggest tourist attraction isn't the sprawling plains of the Serengeti... it's the stunning Ngorongoro Conservation Area! The Ngorongoro Crater is game viewing gone crazy! Within the crater rim, a daily wildlife drama is played out as large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby lions, leopards, elephants and black rhinos. Outside of the crater a similar drama continues in a more spread out manner with Masai herdsmen thrown into the mix.
