The itinerary can be built around destinations such as Mto wa Mbu, selected Maasai communities, Lake Eyasi, Materuni, Lake Manyara, Tarangire or Ngorongoro according to travel time and the experience preferred.
The exact program should always be confirmed in advance because community activities, wildlife routes, accommodation and travel times can vary.
A 2 day itinerary provides more time than a single day tour for combining cultural experiences with wildlife activities without making the schedule excessively rushed.
