Overview
Thank you so much for helping us plan the great holiday, Kerry.
Our friends recommend you, as they said you were good, and I see why they say this.
We want for our holiday lots of safari and to see the local culture. The holiday was fantastic with many game drives and we saw so many lions.
The sunset in Africa is the best and the stars at night are amazing.
Thank you for making my dream come true
Welcome to Africa! After disembarking from the aircraft you will clear customs and immigration formalities and proceed to the arrivals lounge where you will be met by our representative and assisted to the transfer vehicles that take you to your hotel.
After breakfast at your lodge, drive to Masai Mara. You will traverse the Rift Valley and ascend its western rim into the Masai land. Red-clad, with spear Masai warriors tend their herds of cattle among the wildlife, admirably unmoved by the presence of large predators. The most spectacular feature in the Mara is the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle from the plains of Serengeti that cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara’s grasslands from late June, tracked by predators and circled by vultures as the journey unfolds. Arrive in time for check in and lunch at your camp. After some relaxation depart for a game-drive in search of wildlife. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
You enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in this spectacular game reserve, with superb photographic opportunities. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago You may opt for an early morning balloon excursion to experience the panoramic Mara from a birds-eye view (Optional and not included in the price). The flight over this African Paradise lasts about an hour and on landing a lavish champagne-style, picnic breakfast is served.
Today after breakfast, and transfer back to the Airstrip for your scheduled flight to The Serengeti via Migori. Here you will be met and transferred by road to the Kenya/Tanzania border. You clear customs and immigration formalities on both sides of the border and transfer to Tarime Airstrip on the Tanzania side for your flight to the Serengeti National Park.
On arrival you will be met by the camp driver/guide at the Seronera Airstrip. Enjoy a short game drive en route to the camp for lunch. The vast grasslands of the renowned Serengeti National Park provide what many consider to be the quintessential African game viewing experience.
Spend mornings and afternoons game viewing in the vast expanse of the Serengeti for a chance to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras and gazelles or a pride of lions lounging in the shade.
Meaning ‘endless plains’ in the language of the Maasai, this land of immense open spaces is home to literally millions of large herbivores, as well as the accompanying carnivores. The Serengeti is renowned for having the largest concentration of migratory animals in the world, and is also famous for its large lion population. The Serengeti National Park forms part of a huge conservation area, encompassing the adjacent Ngorongoro Conservation Area, as well as the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. With no fences or man-made barriers, huge numbers of wildlife move freely throughout this area.
After breakfast at your hotel, drive through Ngorongoro Highlands to your lodge situated on the rim of the crater. The crater covers over 250 square kilometers (over 100 square miles) of land and is the home of the rare black rhino, prides of lion, elephant, cheetah and great herds of buffalo, antelope and wildebeest.
The Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in the world. Some maintain that before it erupted, it would have been higher than Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Today, long since having collapsed and eroded, it is an extensive highland area with the famous 600 m deep Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. Nearly three million years old, the ancient caldera shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth.
After breakfast at your lodge, you will drive back to Arusha for lunch and later be transferred to the airport to catch your scheduled flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival at the Zanzibar Airport you will meet our representative and you will be transferred to the hotel. The rest of the day is spent at leisure.
You will enjoy breakfast at your resort and the days will be spent at leisure. You can opt to go on a half day city tour (optional and the price is not included) to discover the exotic Stone Town. This tour gives you an introduction to the unique culture and history of this island that was once ruled by the Sultans of Oman. Visits to the National Museum, the Anglican Cathedral, the City Market, the House of Wonders, the Arab Fort and the narrow twisting streets of the city give a glimpse of its exotic and mysterious past.
After breakfast at your resort you will be transferred to Zanzibar Airport to connect to your home bound departure flight.
