Day 1 - Touchdown and Cultural Tour
Welcome to the Rock City, Mwanza! Start off your journey with a customary Tanzanian breakfast. First stop is the resplendent Bismarck Rock, an iconic granite rock that artfully leans over Lake Victoria. Care for a quick lesson in geology? Guess what, it's an ages-old gneiss! Later, immerse in the rich local traditions and tribal cultures at Wakaranga Cultural Centre. Wrap up the day soaking in the sunset from the charming Capri Point, as you munch into dinner with a mouthwatering spread of local cuisine. Did we mention the Nyama Choma? It's a Tanzanian BBQ you wouldn't want to miss!
Day 2 - Wildlife Extravaganza
Get ready to roam with the wilderness on your day 2 safari at Serengeti National Park. Filling your day with pulsating adventure, you'll enjoy wildlife spotting among the herds of elephants, gazelles, zebras, and, if you're lucky enough, the majestic lions too! A quick lunch at a quaint picnic spot in the park is an experience to cherish. Proceed to the formidable Grumeti Reserve for an exclusive evening safari. Pencil us jealous, because you'll be dining under the stars amidst the symphony of the wild!
Day 3 - Unwind and Adios
Ease into your final day with a revitalizing sunrise boat tour on the serene waters of Lake Victoria. Major unwinding goals, right? Gobble up a hearty breakfast at one of the charming lakeside cafes. Spend the remaining hours shopping for local crafts and souvenirs from Mwanza City Market. What about something Maasai for your home décor? It's time to pack those bags with the memories of a lifetime and wave adios to this delightful place. Who knows? The magical allure of Mwanza might just draw you back again!
