Day 2: Ausha to Lake Manyara

Our safari begins by passing through the town centre of Arusha and witnessing the sights and sounds of a colourful and bustling African city.  We depart the city from the south west in the direction of the Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara at the base of an escarpment.  Lunch en-route prepares for our tribal introduction followed by an afternoon game drive within the park and then climbing into the Crater Highlands for overnight.

Day 4: Lake Eyasi to Ngorongoro

A very early morning of traditional hunting ensures we are learning ancient customs firsthand.  After lunch we leave to our next stop atop Ngorongoro Crater. NGORONGORO SOPA LODGE (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) 

 
Day 5: Ngorongoro

We descend into the Crater after breakfast for a fascinating array of resident mammals.

The transfer to the Serengeti is via a sea of red clothed warriors.  We lunch en-route and arrive at our lodge mid-afternoon. NASIKIA MOBILE CAMP (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

 
Day 7: Serengeti

Our camp is prime viewing for the Wildebeest Migration as it is located in the unspoilt areas of the Serengeti.  We spend the day in search of spectacular wildlife by combing the surrounding areas, while only to returning to the camp for lunch and resting before evening.

An exciting return transfer through the rugged terrain of the Great Rift Valley outskirts and the archeological site of Olduvai Gorge ensues breakfast today.  And we arrive to Esilalei Maasai Village for afternoon walking amongst the Maasai and then onto the permanent camp.  The remoteness of this camp ensures intimacy and a classical bush experience.
