Overnight: Marera Valley Lodge
Meals: Lunch & Dinner included
After early breakfast, the guide will start driving to Lake Eyasi with packed lunches. This tour gives you the chance to interact with the Hadzabe community for hunting and cultural exchange. These are hunters and gatherers for honey and insect in the bush. Lake Eyasi is a seasonal shallow endothecia salt lake on the floor of the Great Rift Valley at the base of the Serengeti Plateau, just south of the Serengeti National Park and immediately southwest of the Ngorongoro Crater in the Crater Highlands of Tanzania. The lake is elongated, orientated southwest to northeast, and lies in the Eyasi-Wembere branch of the Great Rift Valley. During the dry season the lake may dry up almost entirely, especially in drier years, so that Datoga herders and Hadzabe foragers will cross the lake on foot, but in El Niño years it may flood its banks and attract hippopotamus from the Serengeti. It is a seasonal stop for migrating flamingos. In the late afternoon, you will be driven back to your hotel in Karatu.

This day tour will have an early start, and for a very good reason. Probably the most famous African National Park in the world, the Serengeti covers a massive area and hosts a rich and complex ecosystem with a noticeable biodiversity. 1.5 million wildebeests, the biggest population of big mammals that still roam the planet, make their migration through the park every year, joined by hundreds of thousands of zebras and gazelles, and giraffes, impalas, warthogs and hippos live permanently in its lands, as well as carnivores as jackals, hyenas, servals and mongooses; however the most popular animals among visitors, commonly known as the Big Five, are lions, African leopards, African bush elephants, Eastern black rhinoceros and Cape buffaloes. And this is just the beginning. After a picnic lunch after lunch you will continue with game drive until evening where you will be driving to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Tansania - what a very nice place It was our first time in East Africa and it was a great trip. The organization, food and accommodation left nothing to be desired. Alex, our German- and English-speaking guide during the safari, drove us safely along the Tanzanian roads. He imparted a lot of knowledge about the country, the people and the animals and made sure we had a lot of fun. Thanks to him in particular and to the whole team, it was a great experience.![]()

Excellent safari with Alex We had the pleasure of having Alex from Sundown as our guide and driver for a 4 day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. We stayed in fabulous accommodation, saw so much amazing wildlife, and met many warm, friendly and kind people. We can’t recommend a safari holiday highly enough for fun, adventure and learning. Alex was an excellent guide and by the time he dropped us at Seronera airport for our flight to Zanzibar, we had become friends. We hope to be back to beautiful Tanzania.![]()

1,000 times more amazing than what I had guessed If you’re thinking that going on an African Safari will be wonderful, let me share with you that my trip with Sundown African Adventures was seriously 1,000 times more incredible than I had guessed. The lodgings that Sundown African Adventures chose were all top-notch and the places they took us to were all magnificent. We received excellent service from our Guide-Driver, “Alex”. He was very professional, kind, and always aware of our safety. His extraordinary knowledge of the animals and the environment were remarkable. Alex had a sixth-sense about what the animals were actually thinking. I’m planning on sending my daughter and son-in-law for their honeymoon on tour with Sundown.![]()
