Christmas Safari: Holidays under the African Sky

Are you looking for the perfect gift this Christmas? 🎁✨ Imagine celebrating in the wild heart of Tanzania, surrounded by wildlife, culture, and the origins of humankind.

Our camping safari offers a unique and adventurous way to experience the festive season — and because it’s camping, it’s also more affordable during peak holiday season, without missing any of the magic.

What is this trip about?

This is a 5-day safari specially designed to spend Christmas in Tanzania and welcome the New Year under African skies. Staying in handpicked campsites like Migombani Campsite in the Rift Valley, you will wake up to breathtaking views, share stories around the campfire, and experience the authentic adventure of Africa.

The itinerary covers iconic parks: Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara, and Tarangire, along with cultural encounters with local tribes. It’s a journey that blends nature, culture, and celebration.

Trip Highlights

  1. 🎄 Christmas in Tanzania and with the Maasai

Christmas in Tanzania is celebrated with joy and a strong sense of community. As in much of Africa, the majority of the population is Christian, so the season is deeply meaningful. Celebrations begin on December 24th with a midnight mass and continue on December 25th with family or friends gatherings, where people share food, music, and dance. On December 26th, “Boxing Day”, gifts are exchanged and opened.

The Maasai, while preserving many of their ancestral traditions, are no exception. Many Maasai have converted to Christianity and also celebrate Christmas in their own way. During this journey, you will have the unique opportunity to experience Christmas with a Maasai community: sharing a traditional lunch with local families, walking around their homesteads, learning about their culture, and the next day joining the children in opening small gifts.

It is an experience that blends spirituality, cultural exchange, and the joy of Christmas, right in the heart of Africa.

  1. The miracle of new life in Ndutu 🦓

In December, the Ndutu area (southern Serengeti) witnesses the first births of the great migration. Watching wildebeest and zebra calves take their first steps is one of nature’s most powerful experiences.
