9 Day Hunting With A Camera,
Tanzania
Day 1: Arusha
You'll be personally met when
you arrive Kilimanjaro or Arusha
airports and taken to a lovely
resort in a thick African
forest, Rivertrees, in the
foothills of Mt. Meru, Africa's
5th highest mountain. Activities
are available for those who
arrive early.
Days 2 & 3: West Kilimanjaro
After breakfast you drive onto
the western slopes of Mt.
Kilimanjaro onto a private
Maasai conservancy of more than
60,000 acres. Bordering Kenya's
Amboseli National Park, the area
has abundant game and
breathtaking scenery. You'll
have opportunities to track
elephant on foot, meet local
Maasai and experience some
fantastic game viewing on this
Tanzania Safari Tour. Join
others around the campfire for
sundowners before gourmet
dinners prepared by professional
bush chefs. Gaze at the
unbounded evening sky before
turning in. Enjoy outstanding
luxury accommodations in Olmalog
Camp surrounded by the sounds of
Africa.
Day 4: West Kilimanjaro -
Arusha - Manyara
The day is spent meandering
through northern Tanzania,
through villages that rarely see
tourists, and including the
booming town of Arusha as well.
You'll have a privately guided
tour of an important anti-venom
snake farm, and by late
afternoon arrive Kirurumu, a
beautiful tented lodge located
right on the edge of the Great
Rift Valley.
Day 5: Manyara - Ngorongoro
Dawn game drive in this park
famous for its early elephant
studies, and one of the most
beautiful parks on the circuit.
Return to Kirurumu for lunch,
and in the afternoon continue to
Ngorongoro Crater on one of the
most beautiful drives in the
world. Stop to catch your breath
at the overlook of Africa's
great natural wonder, the
12-mile wide Ngorongoro Crater.
Dinner and overnight at
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.
Day 6: Ngorongoro
Full day exploring this great
natural wonder. The hundred
square miles contain an
incredible amount of game,
including large prides of lion,
free-ranging black rhino and
some of the most approachable
eland on the continent. The
unusual ecosystem has protected
wildlife for millennia. Meals
and overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa
Lodge.
Day 7: Ngorongoro - Tarangire
An early departure to arrive
Tarangire National Park by noon.
This is the best time of the
year for this great elephant
park, with its many magnificent
sand rivers and dense bush.
After lunch at a northern lodge,
spend the afternoon game viewing
through the park, encountering
the large numbers of aggressive
elephant. In some respects the
park is more like a southern
than East African park, with its
heavy woodlands. By nightfall
you've arrived the intimate and
luxurious Swala Camp deep in the
southern part of the park.
Day 8: Tarangire
Spend a full day exploring the sand
rivers, woodlands and
amazing baobab forests
of this great park. The
birdlife in Tarangire is
outstanding, sitting
directly underneath a
flyby between southern
Africa and Europe,
capturing migrants from
both hemispheres.
Leopard is particularly
abundant here, as is
giraffe. But above all
are the large numbers of
elephant families,
forced together after
hundreds of miles of
migration, to dig for
water in the sand
rivers. Meals and
overnight at Swala Camp. |
Day 9: Tarangire -
Arusha
Return to Arusha after breakfast for
lunch at a popular local
restaurant, and for some
time for shopping before
returning to Rivertrees
where private rooms are
available until the
transfers to the airport
for the evening
departures.
