amount of conventional
game viewing in vehicles
is also included, but

introducing you to some
of the real treasures of
the wilderness. Get
closer on this Tanzania
Safari ! |
Day 1: Arusha
Whenever you arrive, you'll be
personally met
and taken to a
lovely resort on
Mount Meru, Africa's 5th highest mountain.
For those
arriving early,
optional
activities can
be arranged.
Dinner and
overnight at the
resort. |
Day 2: West
Kilimanjaro
Three days are now spent in a very
remote, private
60,000-acre
wilderness on
the western
slopes of Mount
Kilimanjaro. The
morning drive
from Arusha is
past many small
pretty peasant
farms, market towns and small
villages,
before crossing
a large open
plane composed
of wheat farms.
There can be
fabulous views
of Mount Kibo,
the Shira
Plateau and even
Mount Meru on
clear days.
Arrival in camp
is met by fresh
juice and a bush
lunch. The late
afternoon is
spent meandering to the nearby
Maasai village of Olmalog or simply
relaxing in
camp. A campfire
using
sustainable wood
sources
accompanies the
dying light and
sounds of the
Maasai's cattle
heading back to
their bomas.
Overnight in an
adventure camp. |
Day 3: West
Kilimanjaro
Soon after breakfast you head by foot
out with your
guide and scout
while the crew
packs the camp
to move it onto
the plains on
the lower
slopes. During
the morning
walk, game grows
more prevalent
and Zebra often
canter away
after
approaching
curiously. Giraffe, Eland, Impala and
Grant's gazelle are also usually seen.
Picnic lunches
are taken under
the shade of an
acacia tree, and
there is then
usually time to
relax as the
hottest part of
the day passes
over.
At the end of
the afternoon
walk, you arrive
camp that has
been set under a
set of huge
acacia trees
with sweeping
views of the
plains that head
up to
Kilimanjaro. As
the sun sets you enjoy the scrumptious dinner prepared with locally
fresh foods by
expert bush
cooks. |
Day 4: West
Kilimanjaro
An early morning walk to the top of
Napopong hill
affords great views of the sun rising and hopefully the Uhuru
summit of
Kilimanjaro as
well. Then it's
breakfast back
in camp before
getting into the
Landrovers for a
wider search of
the area. There
is a diverse set
of bird life as
well as a number
of different
mammals to be
seen on this
safari in
Tanzania.
With luck family
groups of
Elephant or
majestic old
bulls will be
spotted grazing
or resting under
the shade of a
spreading acacia
tortillis. Lunch
is taken back at
camp, and in the
afternoon
another game
drive is
possible. In the
late afternoon
you head out for a scenic
sundowner before game driving
back to camp
with a spot
light, seeking
out the more
elusive
nocturnal
creatures. |
|
Day 5: Tarangire
On the final morning at West Kilimanjaro an early morning walk before breakfast is
possible. Then drive
back to Arusha town for
lunch at a popular local
restaurant, before
continuing in the
afternoon to Tamarind
Tented Camp in Tarangire
National Park. Depending
upon your arrival time,
there may be time for a
short afternoon walk and a dusk game drive with a spot
light before dinner in camp. |
Day 6: Tarangire
The entire day is spent in the large
Tarangire National Park
with a picnic lunch.
There's an enormous amount of game here, including Giraffe,
Buffalo, Lesser Kudu,
Eland, Oryx, Zebra,
Lion, Leopard, Cheetah
and Elephant. Game
viewing tracks meander
along the great
Tarangire River, one of
East Africa's famous
'Sand Rivers'.
The bird life here can
be superb and the
rolling hills are dotted with ancient Baobab
trees and some dense woodlands,
distinguishing Tarangire
from most of the rest of
the northern plains game
parks. In the evening
return to Tamarind for
dinner and overnight,
ending a perfect day on
your safari in Tanzania. |
Day 7: Lake Manyara
A relatively short and spectacular
morning drive to the
base of the Great Rift
Valley where much of the
day is spent in Lake
Manyara National Park.
This UNESCO biosphere is
a relatively small park
but with an amazing diversity of habitats.
Ground water forest,
open glades, plains, and
acacia woodland create
homes for a fantastic
array of birds and
mammals. Picnic beside
the lakeshore.
In the late afternoon
head up the steep
escarpment to Kirurumu
Tented Lodge in time to
enjoy sundowners on the
deck that overlooks the
lake and the rift
providing a most spectacular panoramic view.
Dinner and overnight at
this award-winning
eco-camp. |
Day 8: Ngorongoro rim
walk
Morning drive to the fabled Ngorongoro
Crater with its truly
breathtaking views.
Continue round the rim,
where a crew of guides,
a ranger and Maasai and
donkeys will be waiting.
Begin a marvelous walk in this pristine
Maasai land. The
track takes you part way
around the rim of the
crater through open
woodland and acacia
forests.
To your right are the
remarkably spectacular
views of the crater
floor below, and to your
left are the endless plains of the Serengeti.
A very simple camp is
set in a remote location
where one of the
important rivers off the
highland volcanoes
enters the crater. |
Day 9: Ngorongoro
After an early breakfast camp is packed
up and the morning trek
continues along the
crater rim traversing the Olmoti slopes.
The trail leaves the
rainforest and cuts
through grassland and
open woodlands inhabited
by local Maasai. In the
late afternoon the tour
reaches a vehicle track
that winds out of
Ngorongoro crater
towards Empakai crater.
Landrovers will be
waiting with
refreshments to take us
back to Ngorongoro. |
Day 10: Serengeti
The tour leaves at dawn to enjoy further
game viewing on the
crater floor. This
unique hundred-square
mile wildlife paradise
has a greater density of
wildlife than
practically any other
protected wilderness in
Africa. It's the last
place to see relatively
easily free-ranging
Black Rhino. There are
numerous Lions, and
large families of
Buffalo. The plains gazelle seem innumerable.
The crater provides a
scenic wonderland
distinguished by its
central lake and many
shore birds including at
times large numbers of
flamingo.
By late morning you
ascend the opposite side
of the crater and head
into the Serengeti
plains, stopping en-route at Olduvai
Gorge, the cradle of
mankind. The Serengeti
-- undoubtedly the
best-known wildlife
sanctuary in the world
-- is the fitting climax
for our exciting safari.
In the Serengeti your
adventure camp will be
placed seasonally to
optimize game viewing.
|
Day 11: Serengeti
The day is spent exploring the wide-open
spaces of the Serengeti,
visiting different
habitats and following
the ebb and flow of life
in its seasonal
movements. In addition
to the abundant game,
there may be
opportunities tovisit sacred Maasai sites and cave paintings. The
Serengeti satisfies the
most demanding
imaginations of what
Africa is, with its
endless grassland plains
filled with wildlife.
Your last night in camp
will be a celebrated
one, as you review the
wonderful days you've
spent learning about
this magnificent land.
Enjoying sundowners
around the fire before
dinner, you'll
undoubtedly be blessed
by one of theSerengeti's unrivaled sunsets,
bringing to a
spectacular end this
remarkable journey. |
Day 12: Arusha -
Departure
Morning game drive to the nearest
airstrip, where you take
a quick flight back to
Arusha. You'll be met by
new vehicles that will
take you around to shop and sightsee, and for
another local lunch
before continuing to the
hotel adjacent
Kilimanjaro airport.
You'll have a private
room before the evening
departures.
