Journey Into Tanzania

Day 1: Arusha
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon your arrival into Kilimanjaro Airport and after clearing customs and immigration, you will be me by your Safari Legacy representative who will transfer you to the New Arusha Hotel.

Day 2: Tarangire National Park
Your first experience of safari life will be the thrilling drive through the vastness of Tarangire National Park.  Travelling through the park you will marvel at the beauty of this pristine wilderness before arriving at our own Kikoti Camp.  Built on a ridge overlooking the park, Kikoti is a superb location from which to explore Tarangire. 

Day 3 & 4: Tarangire National Park
We have an early morning departure with a packed breakfast, which will allow us to make the most of our wildlife viewing before returning to camp for a late lunch.  Escorted by your safari guide/naturalist, a game walk in the late afternoon will give you an intimate taste of life as an African explorer before you take a refreshing sundowner on Kikoti Rock with some of the best sunsets in Africa as a backdrop.  An evening game drive in a convertible vehicle will provide the opportunity to observe some of Tarangire’s nocturnal wildlife before you enjoy your bush dinner and retire at the end of an exhilarating day.

Day 5 & 6: Lake Eyasi
Today we take you to the shores of Lake Eyasi.  Traveling via towns such as Mto wa Mbu and Karatu we will have the chance to interact with the Barabaig and Datoga tribes/villages before reaching the lakeshore. En route you will stop for hot lunch at Plantation Lodge.  Arrive at Kisima Ngeda Tented Camp. With such comforts guaranteed, you are perfectly placed to share the lives of the Hadzabe Bushmen escorted by Momayo Muhindoi. Experiencing life through the eyes of such ancient peoples will give you a privileged view of the lives of one of the last groups of authentic hunter gather groups left in Africa.

Day 7 & 8: Lake Manyara National Park/Ngorongoro Crater
Bidding farewell to our cultural hosts we will drive up to Lake Manyara National Park for wildlife viewing. Thereafter, we drive to Ngorongoro Farm House, which will be your home for the next two evenings.  The Ngorongoro Crater walls drop sheer for almost 2000 ft. before depositing you in the middle of the greatest wildlife concentration in Africa.  In addition to these superb wildlife-viewing opportunities we will visit the Olmoti Crater, high above the park floor, from which the Mungi river flows in a magnificent picture perfect waterfall on its way to the crater floor below.

Days 9-11: Olduvai Gorge / Serengeti National Park
Today we head for the Serengeti, en-route visiting Olduvai Gorge, a river canyon cutting 300 ft into the volcanic Serengeti plains, once home to our earliest ancestors.  Their remains can still be found nestling in the exposed soils. 

We descend to the Serengeti Plains. Part of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, Serengeti National Park is home to the most famous wildlife spectacle on earth, the annual migration of a million wildebeest.  We use the Seronera Plains for our camping in order to ensure year round access to some of the most spectacular wildlife viewing on earth. You may also enjoy the option of a hot air balloon safari over the Serengeti Plains.
