Trip Itinerary

Day 1 Nairobi – Arusha:
Leaving Nairobi we travel by shuttle coach via the border town of Namanga to Arusha, the safari hub of Tanzania.

Day 2 Arusha – Lake Manyara:
After an early breakfast, you are on your way to Lake Manyara National Park. Most famous for its tree climbing lion, it is also known for leopard, elephant and flamingo which abound on the shores of the lake. Being part of the Great Rift Valley the views from Manyara are as spectacular as they are real. (B,L,D)

Day 3 Lake Manyara – Serengeti National Park: Everyone has heard of it and now you’re there. Probably the best known game park in Africa, and rightly so. Serengeti offers you the most complete game experience with the open plains teeming with wildlife. The annual migration of wildebeest through July to September between the Mara and this region is undoubtedly one of the great spectacles not to be missed. (B,L,D)

Day 4 Serengeti – Ngorongoro Crater:
Having driven via the Ngorongoro to enter the Serengeti we now retrace our steps and then descend to the crater floor to view one of the highest concentrations of game anywhere in the world. Although not a captive enclave the crater is well watered and therefore the game tend not to migrate from their green pastures. (B,L,D)

Day 5 Ngorongoro Crater – Arusha:
Crossing back across the Great Rift Valley we travel through Masai villages which have been in and around this area for centuries. You have ample time to stop and chat with the locals and appreciate their customs and cultures. The Masai are a very proud race of people who take pride in preserving their traditions. (B,L)

Day 6 Arusha – Nairobi:
A morning departure from Arusha sees us heading in a northerly direction back to Nairobi where your safari finishes. (B)
