Day 1: Arusha,
Tanzania
On arrival in
Tanzania, you
are met by your
Ecological
Wilderness
Adventures guide
and transferred
to your. The
drive from the
airport to the
is about 40 mins.
The Ngare sero
Lodge, set among
tropical gardens
on a former
coffee
plantation with
Mount
Kilimanjaro and
Mount Meru as a
backdrop.
Day 2: Arusha
National Park,
An early morning
will immerses us
in the African
wild we always
deamed about.
The topography
of this small
park is
amazingly varied
including grassy
plains, montane
forest, volcanic
craters, swamps,
and saline
lakes. On clear
days we have
excellent views
of Mount Meru
and of Mount
Kilimanjaro. We
can choose to
game drive, to
go on a game
walk escorted by
an armed ranger,
or to do a canoe
ride on one of
the soda lakes.
We hope to see
giraffe, buffalo
and black and
white colobus
monkeys, as well
as some of the
shy forest
antelope –
bushbuck, red
duiker and maybe
suni.
Day 3: Lake
Manyara National
Park
This morning we
drive to Arusha,
Tanzania's
safari capital .
We may do some
shopping or stop
for lunch before
continuing to
Lake Manyara .
Much of the
northern part of
the park is fed
by underground
water from the
Ngorongoro
Highlands and as
a result is
covered in dense
forest
vegetation,
giving the
appearance of a
tropical jungle.
This forest is
ideal habitat
for elephant,
bushbuck, blue
monkey, and huge
troops of olive
baboon. Some
parts are dry
bushland
attracting
zebra, impala
and giraffe,
while the
lakeshore
provides another
habitat, perfect
for flamingos
and other shore
birds. Toatday
we will stay at
Lake Manyara
Serena Lodge
Days 4 & 5:
Cultural Walks
and local
market
Visits
A highlight of
our trip to
Africa is a
chance to meet
people from
other cultures,
broadening our
understanding of
the human
spirit. We spend
the day learning
about
traditional
tribal life
during an
intimate visit
to a local Masai
manyatta; as
pastoralists,
they know the
natural world in
a profound way,
and we discover
how they have
lived
harmoniously
with the land
for centuries.
We overnight at
peaceful Tloma
Lodge, located
on a working
coffee
plantation in
the green hills
of Karatu. Rise
early for a hike
through the lush
highlands of the
Oldeani
mountains and
visit local
working farms
with sweeping
views of the
Great Rift
Valley and Lake
Eyasi. We
continue to a
local school (if
in session) and
to meet our
peers before
continuing to
the crater rim.
Day 6:
Ngorongoro
Crater
We will leave
this morning on
our way to
Ngorongoro
Crater for full
day game drive
(1½ hrs drive
from the Tloma
Logde). Our
drive takes us
up to the rim of
the Crater,
where the views
back over Lake
Manyara and the
floor of the
Crater are
amazing. We will
do a full day
game drive
before heading
to Soap Lodge
for Ddinner and
overnight
Days 7 - 9:
Serengeti
The Serengeti is
legendary. Here
on Tanzania’s
Great Plains,
herds of
wildebeest
traverse the
savannah in
enormous
numbers, while
thousands of
antelope and
gazelle are
ever-present.
Giraffes lope
among the acacia
trees, while the
big cats race
after prey.
Serengeti
Savannah Camp
