They are a well-rated agency which specializes in tailoring a safari to meet your wants and budget. Plus, they have even been honored with Tripadvisor&#8217;s Certificate of Excellence, proving that they are good at what they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their tour offerings are diverse, fun and authentic\u2014there\u2019s something for everyone. The companies adventures aren&#8217;t limited to just Tanzania either, they offer tours and safaris in more than ten other destinations (how about a trip through Rwanda, Kenya or Ethiopia?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-global-color-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Booking:<\/strong> As all of their trips can be customized to meet your needs, you can start your booking with them by checking out their itineraries on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shadowsofafrica.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their website<\/a> then sending them a free enquiry through their site for any questions or customizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upon Arrival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Olerai Lodge&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/tz\/olerai-lodge.en.html?aid=1250897&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Olerai Lodge<\/a> is conveniently located haven about an hour from Kilimanjaro Airport and 15 minutes from Arusha airport for those domestic flights.

The lodge, which was opened in 2019, is not just a comfy place to rest your head, it&#8217;s beautiful too. Originally a home, it still has that cozy feel, and the African influence decor only adds to that\u2014think dark masks hanging on the walls, beaded chandeliers and chunky Dhow wood furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Porch-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72674\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Porch-2-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Olerai Lodge in Tanzania\" class=\"wp-image-72674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Porch-2-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Porch-2-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Porch-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Room-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72675\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Room-2-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Olerai Lodge Room in Tanzania\" class=\"wp-image-72675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Room-2-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Room-2-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Olerai-Lodge-Room-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The large rooms have all the modern amenities with toasty hot showers, comfortable mosquito-netted beds and fresh drinking water always available.

It means that they are dedicated to providing the children with additional tools, supplies and resources needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The children don&#8217;t see too many outsiders, so when we arrived they were excited (so was I!).

He had 8 wives, and a whopping 50 children! We were greeted by the chief\u2019s sons and welcomed us into the inner circle of their living quarters, which consisted of about eight small huts. There was one for each wife and their children, plus one for the husband who alternated which woman stays with him each evening. Not only was their polygamist lifestyle interesting, but so was their farming capabilities, minimalist living and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a tour of the small village the whole tribe gathered around. We were immediately welcomed by the residents with a lively dance, which consisted of chanting in combination with the men jumping high and the women performing in a rhythmic bouncing motion. I was brought into the center of the group to participate into this tradition. There was lots of singing, dancing and laughing (mostly the Massai laughing at my lack of dance skills!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-global-color-7-background-color has-background\">\u279e Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/visit-maasai-tribe-tanzania-africa\/\">The Culture &amp; Traditions of Africa&#8217;s Maasai Tribe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai-Annette-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72698\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai-Annette-2-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Maasai Village in Tanzania\" class=\"wp-image-72698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai-Annette-2-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai-Annette-2-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai-Annette-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72699\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai_-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Maasai Village Man in Tanzania\" class=\"wp-image-72699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai_-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai_-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Ol-Mesera-Maasai_.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the warm Maasai welcome to the infinity pool to the stunning views over Lake Manyara, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/tz\/lake-manyara-kilimamoja-lodge.html?aid=1250897&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Kilimamoja Lodge<\/a> is something special.

The Hadzabe, consisting of nearly 2,000 individuals, live in huts near Lake Eyasi and continue to remain committed to their rugged hunter-gatherer lifestyle origins. Each day starts with the men getting together to discuss where to hunt and the women determining where to gather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to get a glimpse of how the tribe\u2019s daily life is lived, but be prepared. While it is tremendously intriguing, their lifestyle may also rush a wave of culture shock through you. When we arrived for our visit the males had just speared a baboon that they were cooking for breakfast. We watched as they dissected the animal, putting each part on the grill and then offering us a taste. <em>I kindly declined. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-10 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72707\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Bushmen-2-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Lake Eyasi Hadzabe Boy\" class=\"wp-image-72707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Bushmen-2-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Bushmen-2-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Bushmen-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"72708\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Man-2-768x1024.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Lake Eyasi Hadzabe Man\" class=\"wp-image-72708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Man-2-768x1024.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Man-2-225x300.jpg.webp 225w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Lake-Eyasi-Hadzabe-Man-2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this monkey was the meal on this particular morning, their diet consists of almost any animal that can be hunted with a bow and arrow.&nbsp;Some of the men in the group actually attempted to teach me how to use the weapon, something they expertly shoot every day to hunt for their food.

The annual wildebeest migration is when more than a million land animals stomp the dry-grass plains in search of greener pastures. The wildebeest don\u2019t travel alone; hundreds of thousands of Thompson\u2019s gazelle and zebras join them in this trek, plunging through crocodile-infested waters in their effort to escape death from hunger, thirst, and predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the migration, the 5,695 square miles of Serengeti is blessed with an abundance of animals, plus you can pay a visit to the hippo pool where several dozen are clustered together sloshing about. And this is where we not only spotted our first hyena on my first trip, but also saw the largest flying bird in the world, the Kori Bustard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-fcb20cb8\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-fcb20cb8\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Serengeti-Wildebeest-2.jpg\" alt=\"Serengeti Migration\" title=\"Serengeti Wildebeest-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Serengeti-Wildebeest-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Serengeti-Wildebeest-2-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2019\/12\/Serengeti-Wildebeest-2-768x576.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serengeti Lodging <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first time in Serengeti, I stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/new.osupukolodges.com\/serengeti-osupuko-camp\/\">Osupuko Camp<\/a>, a well-equipped glamping spot in the in the heart of the park. <em>And it was great. <\/em>The camp sits is on the slopes of Rongai Hills and overlooks the Seronera Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my second safari, I decided to try something different by staying at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/tz\/four-seasons-safari-lodge-serengeti.html?\">Four Seasons<\/a> right in the heart of the Serengeti.
