For those with more time and a thirst for adventure, we have personalized iteneraries from a wide range of options to choose from...
Ngorongoro Walk
This walking safari is designed for those in search of real African adventures, those who enjoy the unpredictability of nature, wildness at close quarters, and those who want to rough it out - tough it out, it's also for those whose normal lifestyle has become too mundane and comfortable and for those who feel they need a close encounter with challlenges of an extra-ordinary kind. We also organise truly enchanting, personalised package tours to all the national parks of Tanzania and trekking adventures to Africa’s coolest point - Kilimanjaro,etc - the choice is always yours.
After the exhilarating day out/safari, you can be assured of a friendly welcome “home” away from home, to the comfort of the lodge/camp; your luxurious bed; a hot steaming shower; and an evening spent across the polished mahogany dining table or by the fragrant wood fire places; recounting your day’s stories and adventures while being attended to by our friendly and efficient staff.
Special requests will be catered for if advance notice is given, the cost of such special service or all the services mentioned above will be advised at the time of the booking. We are open throughout the year.
Horse Riding:
Our primary goal is to provide our guests with the opportunity to esacape the crowded realm of the tourists for a day and experience the pristine wildness/landscape on horseback through the local villages. One of the most enchanting experiences of horse riding is the pause in the heat of the day to picnic in the restful shade of the majestic trees and savour the sounds and scents of Africa all around you.
Tindiga Experience:
Daily tailor-made safaris are arranged to Lake Eyasi or the land of the Tindiga, the tribe similar in appearance and lifestyle to bushmen. We at kudu believe that this excursion is for those with memories to build and those with adventurous spirits.
Specialist walks:
Village walks.
Waterfall and elephant caves.
Mountain biking can be arranged on request.
Cultural walks at Mto wa Mbu.
Game drives and Wildlife safari tours:
A- Ngorongoro
From the Lodge/Camp, we will take you for a game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater The Crater is barely 40kms from the lodge, it is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. This 2000 feet deep and 264 sq mile natural amphitheatre is the host to an astonishing array of wildlife, universally acclaimed to be eigth wonder of the world. The Ngorongoro Crater inevitably invites the comparison with the Garden of Eden. It is the best place to see The Big Five- Elephants, Rhino, Leopard, Lion and Buffalo (all in one day.)
B - Lake Manyara National Park.
A visit to Lake Manyara will without doubt leave you with unforgettable feelings of natural wonders. This shimmering, flamingo full alkaline lake is located 25kms from the lodge/camp, and is famous for its tree-climbing lions. It’s the only place in the world where the lions really know that they are kings and reign from the tree tops. The Park has numourous varieties of other wildlife as well.
C - Serengeti National Park
A two days one night safari excursion would take you to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti through Olduvai. Serengeti or “Endless Plains” as its Maasai name -siringeti- implies. Is the largest national park in Tanzania. Serengeti is famous for its vast migratory herd of more than 1.5 million Wilderbeest or Gnus with a very large number of Zebra in search of pasture and water between November and May. This absorbing drama, a soap opera of the wild makes the Serengeti the Park with a look and feel to it like no other park.
