Itinerary

DAY 1 : Moshi - Lake Manyara National Park

The safari starts on day 10 of your main Kilimanjaro itinerary and as a treat, we’ll have a bit of a lie-in this morning. We’ll leave Moshi after a hearty breakfast and transfer to Lake Manyara National Park. The transfer takes around 3-4 hours and you can either catch-up on some sleep or enjoy the stunning scenery as we wind through the Tanzanian countryside. We’ll have a packed lunch with us and arrive at Lake Manyara in time for a full afternoon’s game drive through this jaw-dropping natural landscape. The drives are dictated by the movement of the animals but the guides are always in contact with each other and share locations of the game which wander freely through the Park – there will be plenty of opportunities to get some great photographs.

Lake Manyara is known for its diverse habitats, including the lake itself, hot springs, forests, and grasslands. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, baboons, and a large number of bird species – including an estimated 1.9 million flamingos. If we are very lucky we may also see some of the tree-climbing lions that are unique to the area. Lake Manyara is situated on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, and its landscapes are dominated by stunning views of the Rift Valley escarpment.

Early evening we’ll leave the Park and head to our comfortable overnight accommodation near the Ngorongoro Crater.

DAY 2 : Ngorongoro Crater

Back to early starts today to take full advantage of the Ngorongoro Crater. The Crater is a World Heritage Site: the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, often referred to as the 8th wonder of the world. The 2,000 feet high walls of the approximately 10-mile wide Crater form a natural amphitheatre for some of the densest populations of large animals anywhere in the world.

The Crater is truly awe-inspiring and game viewing here is among the very best Africa has to offer, with rhinos, lions, hyenas, elephants, warthogs, cheetahs, jackals, elands, serval cats, hippos and flamingos. We’ll be spending most of the day here taking in as much of the wildlife as we can before heading off to Tarangire National Park.

Our amazing lodge for the next two nights is situated in the centre of Tarangire National Park and we’ll be able to continue watching the animals as they stroll past the lodge whilst we enjoy a relaxing dinner.

DAY 3 : Tarangire National Park

We have the luxury of waking up in the Tarangire National Park today and how you so how you spend today is entirely up to you as your driver/guide is at your disposition! You can head out before sunrise for a very early morning game drive and then head back to the lodge for an amazing breakfast, or have a little longer in bed and head out later. We generally aim to come back to the lodge for lunch but the day is yours to do as you wish and, however you spend your day, you’ll be back at the lodge in time for another fantastic dinner.

Tarangire is one of Tanzania’s hidden wonders. Measuring 1,600 square miles and named for the life-giving Tarangire River that flows through its core, this is Tanzania’s fifth largest park. Most famous for its massive elephant herds and giant baobab trees, this park hosts an annual “mini-migration” of sorts and offers the perfect setting for photography. During the dry season, huge masses of animals stream into the park for its perennial water supply and we may see elephants, wild dogs, kudu, lions, oryx, giraffe, reedbucks, hyrax, dikdiks, leopards, buffalo and even pythons.

Tarangire is reckoned to have some of the best elephant viewing in Tanzania and there is the option of a thrilling walking safari amongst the jaw-dropping giant baobab trees.

DAY 4 : Tarangire National Park - depart for UK

Our last day in Tarangire and we have an early breakfast at the lodge before checking-out and heading out for a last game drive and saying goodbye to the fantastic fauna and flora.

We’ll be leaving the park early to mid-afternoon for a transfer back to Kilimanjaro International Airport for our evening flight back to the UK arriving the next day (If there is no night flight we’ll be catching the early morning flight on Day 5).

Please note, if you are on a flight the next morning we will book additional accommodation in Arusha for you. This accommodation and dinner are not included and will be an additional cost.

DAY 5 : Arrive UK

Today you arrive back in the UK, either in the early morning (approx 6:30 am) or afternoon/evening if you took the day flight.

 

These are subject to minor changes depending on flight arrival and departure times, weather, group dynamics and fitness and so on, but the itinerary outlined provides an excellent indication of the trek and what you will experience.
