Tanzania, Tour of the essentials in groups

To experience a group safari in a mystical Tanzania, off the beaten track we recommend stopping by Lake Natron! Nestled in the Masai region at the foot of the sacred Langai mountain, this salt lake populated by flamingos emerges from a unique lunar landscape. A special atmosphere, outside of the time that will make you immerse in the Masai lands. From here we take the road to the great Serengeti plains and then descend southwards towards the Ndutu region. Stop at the great crater of the Ngorongoro and last but not least the mythical park of the Tarangire covered with baobabs.
