Itinerary

Arrive Kilimanjaro International Airport Tanzania. Here you will be met by your professional safari Guide and take you to a Hotel in Arusha.  Your overnight is at a hotel in Arusha. You will be welcomed by the staffs that will assist with your luggages and take you to your rooms.

After breakfast we drive to the Serengeti with picnic lunches via the Ngorongoro Highlands. The Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, and it’s also among the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers. Large prides of lions laze easily in the long grasses. Plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia Trees bark and trump to each other across the plains. Giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland, and the whole range of African wildlife are in awe-inspiring numbers. Hopefully you will see the annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti. More than a million animals make the seasonal journey to fresh pasture to the north, then the south, after the biannual rains. The sound of their thundering hooves, raising massive clouds of thick red dust, has become one of the legends of the Serengeti plains.

This day is a full day game drive in the Serengeti National Park.  Your driver-guide will select a perfect direction based on his extensive knowledge of the park and local conditions, but the Serengeti rarely disappoints. We carry our picnic lunches from the Lodge with us so as to make the most of the day enjoyable and our trip might include a trail along the banks of the Grummet River in search of basking lions, tracking cheetah through the Gol Kopjes or hunting leopard along the Seronera River. The entire ecosystem thrives from the annual migration, from the lions and birds of prey that gorge themselves on the weak and the faltering to the gamut of hungry crocodiles that lie in patient waiting at each river crossing for their annual feed.

Today we depart the Serengeti for the Ngorongoro Concervation Area Authority, with a final game drive in Serengeti  en-route. Here you will also take the picnic lunches with you from the Lodge. We will visit the World-Famous Olduvai Gorge. This truly magical place is where the Leakeys discovered the hominoid remains of a 1.8-million-year-old skeleton of Australopithecus boisei, one of the distinct links of the human evolutionary chain. In a small canyon just north of the crater, the Leakey’s and their team of international archaeologists unearthed the ruins of at least three distinct hominoid species, and also came upon a complete series of hominoid footprints estimated to be over 3.7 million years old. Evacuated fossils show that the area is one of the oldest sites of hominoid habitation in the world. Continue through the spectacular Ngorongoro highlands to your lodge. Dinner and overnight at a Lodge in  Ngorongoro  (BLD)

After breakfast we drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, with a picnic lunch. This gives us time to explore in detail this fascinating wildlife amphitheatre. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. This unique caldera, formed by a sinking volcano, hosts a unique cross-section of eco-systems, from Soda Lake to savannah and is home to almost every major species of African mammal. Our presence does not threaten the wildlife making for an exhilarating proximity to the game that we rarely encounter elsewhere. We descend down the 2000-ft walls of the Crater, a World Heritage Site and home to nearly 25,000 animals, for a game drive. Here you have a very real chance of spotting the big five: lion, elephant, endangered black rhino, buffalo and leopard plus countless other African mammal species. Afternoon descend from crater and drive to small town of  Karatu and overnight at a hotel in Karatu.
