You will be picked up at the Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to Moshi town,or Arusha at your arranged hotel. You will meet your driver guide who will brief you on your upcoming safaris, then rest until the next day morning.
Our personal safari guide and driver will meet you at the hotel to undertake the drive, on good tarmac road, the some hundred and twenty kilometers to Tarangire National Park where we undertake our first day of game drives. Tarangire well known for its elephant populations, three families numbering in the region of one thousand each, is so named for the life giving Tarangire River which wends its way through the park and gives sustenance from its cooling waters to a broad variety of game that come here to imbibe. We may hope to see zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and giraffe, to name a few. It is possible we will glimpse our friend leo panthera, simba, the mighty lion stalking his prey or leopard watching and relaxing in the trees above.
We make an early start today to make the most of our adventure and, after our breakfast, at 0600 hrs we set out on our adventure to the one of the seven wonders of Africa, The Serengeti National Park, taking our lunch and enjoying game drives en-route. The Serengeti, largest park in Africa at 15,000 sq km, is home to some three million large mammals and is made up of a diversity of landscapes with the southern region being dominated by the lush grassy plains that draw the two million wildebeest, half a million zebra and some quarter million antelope to make the hazardous journey in search pasture when the autumn rains come. All of ‘the big five’ here inhabit, elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino, and the elusive leopard, alongside a multitude of other large mammals. Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelle, cheetah, hyena, eland, hartebeest, bushbuck, the flightless ostrich, and the largest flighted bird in the world, the kory bustard. We will seek out these creatures with the keen intuition and experience of our Signature guide and, with day drawing to a close, we will wend our way to our selected lodgings to unwind, dine and take our ease by the fire under the endless East African sky.
Again an early start so as to maximise our adventure, after our breakfast we set out at 0600hrs for a game drive on the Serengeti Plains. Serenget, ‘Endless Plain’ in Maa, the tongue of the Maasai, warrior tribe who have called the scape of land their home for millennia. We return to our lodge for breakfast at 0845. Appetites sated we set out on our drive to the Ngorongoro Highlands, enjoying a game drive en route looking forward to our rest at our lodge high up on the crater rim where we can enjoy our dinner and the sweeping landscape spread out before our eyes. Rest, relax, rejuvenate, take in the spectacle in anticipation of our days adventure to come and take our ease in commodious quarters Accommodation at Lodge / Tented Camp or Basic Public Campsite.
Rise and shine, today we visit one of the most extraordinary landscapes. Again we take an early breakfast so as to enjoy our adventure to the maximum . After our 0600 hrs breakfast we descend the windy bumpy track to the crater floor. More precisely a caldera, this 610 metre deep 304 square kilometre enclosed ecosphere was formed some two or three million years ago in the massive explosion of a volcano once higher than Kilimanjaro, and offers the best game viewing opportunities in all of Tanzania. With some 25,000 large mammals within the caldera as soon as we hit the floor we will have the opportunity to see In addition to ‘the big five’ elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard, the various springs attract animals such as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, bushbuck, hartebeest, hippo, antelope, both Grant’s and Thompson’s gazelle, impala, to name a few, as well as over 500 species of bird. It is well recognised as one of the world’s wonders, veritably a magnificent spectacle for the human witness lucky enough to traverse her wildlife laden floor. Lunch served at a picnic site by the hippo pool followed by further game drives with eventually as evening comes on, our ascent to the highlands again and on to Arusha Town.
