Dumbo Safari is one of the most popular short travel itineraries in Tanzania, during which you can live 4 days full of wonders in the beautiful parks of northern Tanzania.
The main destinations on this safari will be Lake Natron, a special and distinctive place in Tanzania, and the beautiful Tarangire Park, where you will be able to see the animals of the savannah up close and let yourself be astonished and enchanted by the wild views of these lands.
We will always be present and at your disposal to give you the opportunity to live one of the most beautiful experiences of your life. The assistance of our staff is always readily available, and you will be able to take advantage of a fully organised safari in Tanzania, which includes full board, a personal guide, and night-time accommodation in beautiful locations.
You finally arrive at Tanzania, where a Safari Avventura guide is waiting for you to savour the first flavours of this land. After a warm welcome, you can choose to either start your adventure by visiting Arusha, or rest in your enchanting lodge, where you will dine and unwind.
After a sumptuous breakfast at your lodge, you will set off for the splendid Tarangire National Park, the principal destination of most safaris in northern Tanzania, where you will have your first encounter with the animals of the savannah.
The Tarangire is famous for several reasons: presence of majestic baobabs, large variety of animal and plant species, and the presence of African pythons, one of the most dangerous animal species, along with the dreaded black mamba.
Packed lunch, dinner and overnight accommodation at the lodge.
You will be exploring Lake Natron, an alkaline lake in northern Tanzania, on this third day of your safari. Upon arrival at your destination, you will find yourself in front of a beautiful spectacle: a lake filled with flamingos will appear in front of you. Getting to this lake early in the morning is an unforgettable experience, as the light of dawn makes the entire landscape magical.
This lake is a unique in that it is the breeding ground for about two million flamingos, a species present only in Africa, and at risk of extinction. The lake is barely three meters deep and is characterized by a dark red colour and whitish streaks
The lake is also an excellent base for climbing to the top of Ol Doinyo Lengai, which lies 25 km further south. Packed lunch, dinner and overnight accommodation at the lodge.
our vacation is over, but before we drive you to the airport to return home, there is still time for a little shopping trip to Arusha. Here you will find some souvenirs and thoughtful suggestions for all those awaiting your return, and who would have loved to come with you.

The hottest period is from November to February (25-31°C), while the coldest period occurs between May and August (15-20°C).

If you are transiting or coming from countries where yellow fever is at risk of transmission then you will have to have the preventive yellow fever vaccine.
