From the heart of the Great Rift Valley, Furaha Luxury Lodge is perfectly positioned for unforgettable full-day safaris that allow our guests to explore the diverse landscapes, wildlife, and cultural heritage of Northern Tanzania. Each journey is carefully curated to blend adventure, discovery, and comfort, ensuring that every day spent in the wild is as enriching as it is breathtaking.
Whether you are seeking the thrill of a Big Five safari, the serenity of flamingo-lined lakes, or the deep stories of humankind’s origins, our lodge offers exclusive access to a variety of destinations:
Lake Manyara National Park
Just minutes away from the lodge, Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions, vast elephant herds, and pink swathes of flamingos. A day here offers intimate game viewing, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpment.
Tarangire National Park
Known as the “Elephant Paradise of Africa,” Tarangire is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Full-day safaris reveal enormous elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and predator action, especially during the dry season when animals gather along the Tarangire River.
Lake Eyasi
For guests seeking culture alongside nature, Lake Eyasi offers an immersive journey into the lives of the Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, hunter-gatherers and blacksmiths who live much as their ancestors did. This safari combines wildlife with a powerful cultural encounter.
Lake Natron
A raw, untouched wilderness where volcanic landscapes meet flamingo breeding grounds. This adventure offers the rare chance to explore hot springs, waterfalls, and the striking views of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the sacred Maasai volcano.
Ndutu Plains (Seasonal Migration)
From December to March, Ndutu becomes the stage for one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles, the calving season of the Great Migration. Witness wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles giving birth, and predators in thrilling pursuit.
Shifting Sands
Marvel at this geological wonder, a crescent-shaped dune of volcanic ash that slowly moves across the landscape, carried by the wind yet retaining its form. It is a spiritual site for the Maasai and a truly unique natural phenomenon.
Elephant Caves (Ngorongoro Highlands)
Nestled in the lush forests of the Ngorongoro Highlands, the Elephant Caves are formed by elephants digging into the soft volcanic soil for minerals. A walk here combines wildlife, birding, and the beauty of the montane forest.
Makuyuni Wild Park
A hidden gem, Makuyuni offers a tranquil game-viewing experience away from the crowds. Encounter giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and a rich birdlife in this emerging wildlife sanctuary.
Olduvai Gorge
Step into the “Cradle of Mankind” where some of the earliest human fossils were discovered. This world-renowned archaeological site tells the story of human evolution and offers a fascinating addition to your safari.
Ngorongoro Crater
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations, Ngorongoro is home to over 25,000 animals in a spectacular volcanic caldera. Expect to see the Big Five in a single day, alongside breathtaking scenery and diverse ecosystems.
The Furaha Experience
Each full-day safari begins with a sunrise departure and a beautifully prepared gourmet picnic breakfast and lunch to be enjoyed in the wild. You will be guided by our expert naturalists, who share deep insights into wildlife behavior, ecology, and cultural heritage. Returning at dusk, you are welcomed back to the lodge with warm hospitality and the promise of another unforgettable African sunset.
At Furaha Luxury Lodge, every full-day safari is more than a journey it is a story, an adventure, and a memory that will stay with you forever.
