LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast, we load up our 4x4 safari vehicles, and head off
for our first day in the bush. Lake
Manyara National Park is very different
from the other parks with it’s diversity of habitats.
It is home to the unusual tree-bound lions and the elusive forest
primate, the blue monkey, among many other creatures.
The Lake supports a large array of bird life, such as
yellow-billed storks, white-necked cormorants, pelicans, and Egyptian
geese. We overnight at the
luxurious Kirirumu Tented Lodge, on the edge of the scarp
overlooking the Rift Valley. (All meals.) |

14/15 - SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
The sprawling Serengeti is the stage for the greatest animal migration
on our planet. The
Serengeti is home to black-maned lions, countless herds of wildebeest,
antelope, zebra, giraffe, hippo, leopard, cheetah, buffalo and elephant.
On our early morning and late afternoon game drives you discover how
each creature, from the tiniest termite to the largest elephant, are all
interdependent in nature’s great cycles of life.
We will be staying for 3 nights at either Ndutu Safari Lodge, or in our
own Private Classic Camp, depending on the availability of
accommodation. Both sites are located in the midst of the
migration. The timing of our visit is crucial, as this is calving
season for most of the millions of wildebeest. Consequently there
is lots of wildlife activity here. (All meals). |

Feb 16 - NGORONGORO CRATER
The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater is a 110 square-mile volcanic
caldera, which collapsed two million years ago.
It is encircled by 2000-ft., sheer walls. We drive down the
narrow track to the crater floor, now a lush verdant paradise. The
crater swarms with 30,000 head of wild game, stalked by great
prides of lion, jackal, hyena and leopard. Ngorongoro is one of the few places left on earth where you
can see the almost extinct black rhinos in their natural habitat. We
overnight at the Kifaru Lodge (all meals). |

shop for some souvenirs for all of your envious friends and family at
home.
After picking up your stored climbing gear in Arusha, we start our drive
to Kilimanjaro International Airport, to get you on your flight back
home. |
