Details

Day 1 – Arusha

Overnight at Arusha Planet Lodge.

Day 2 – Tarangire National Park

Breakfast at the lodge. Drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park. Picnic lunch en route. Afternoon game viewing drive. Tarangire National Park gets its name from the river that threads its way through the length of the reserve. It is famous for its dense wildlife population which is most spectacular between June and October, the dry period – making it the best time to visit for wildlife viewing and walking – during which time thousands of animals migrate from the dry Masai steppe to the Tarangire River looking for water. Tarangire also has the largest population of elephant of any park in the northern circuit and is also home to 550 varieties of bird. Dinner and overnight at Tarangire Tortilis Camp.

Day 3 – Mto wa Mbu

Early morning game viewing. Breakfast at the lodge. Drive to Mto wa Mbu village for a great cultural experience with an English-speaking guide who grew up in the village. Visit local farms, schools, a kindergarten, local homes, the market and milling machines (2.5 – 3 hours. Strenuousness: low). Enjoy a local lunch served in a lovely banana plantation deep inside the village. Afternoon continue to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge.

Day 4 – Ngorongoro Crater

Breakfast at the lodge. Drive to Ngorongoro Crater for half day (5 hours) crater tour. Picnic lunch. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world – surrounded by very steep walls, giving it the appearance of a natural amphitheatre. – and home to up to 30,000 animals, almost half being wildebeest and zebra. The crater is also one of the few places in East Africa where visitors can be certain of seeing black rhino. Countless flamingo form a pink blanket over the soda lake while more than 100 species of birds not found in the Serengeti have been spotted. The crater which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – bounded by Lake Eyasi in the southwest and the Gol Mountains in the north and includes the Olduvai Gorge.

Afternoon continue to Central Serengeti National Park for dinner and overnight at Serengeti Tortilis Camp.

Day 5 – Central Serengeti National Park

Full day unlimited game viewing in the park. The Serengeti National Park is arguably the best known wildlife sanctuary in the world. “Serengeti” means “endless plains” in the Masai language, and within its boundaries are more than three million large mammals. In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest and zebra begin their spectacular 600 mile pilgrimage – in their wake follow the predators – lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and jackal – while vultures circle overhead and some of Africa’s biggest crocodile lie in wait. There is, of course, also a profusion of birdlife – over 500 species. All meals and overnight at Serengeti Tortilis Camp.

Day 6 – Central Serengeti National Park

Full day unlimited game viewing in the park. All meals and overnight at Serengeti Tortilis Camp.
