15 DAYS :: IMAGINATIVE TRAVELLER'S "KILIMANJARO,
SERENGETI & CRATER SAFARI"
|
 Tanzania has two icons - the Serengeti and Kilimanjaro. This incredible
combination of our 'Kilimanjaro Trek' and 'Tanzania Explorer Safari'
takes you to the ice-caps of Africa's highest mountain and down to the
rolling plains of the Serengeti where the largest migration of mammals
takes place on earth! You then have a chance to explore the Ngorongoro
Crater, a large extinct volcano that is a self-contained park known to
be home to the 'Big Five'.
ITINERARY:
Day 1, NAIROBI - ARUSHA Take the early afternoon public shuttle
bus from Nairobi to Arusha. Overnight in a lodge. (No meals).
Day 2, LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK Depart Arusha for Lake Manyara.
One of Tanzania's most diverse parks, the combination of lakes, woodlands
and mountains make game and bird viewing at Manyara superb. The park is
home to large herds of elephants and is also known for its tree climbing
lions. (BLD)
Day 3, SERENGETI Game drive with picnic lunch on our way to Serengeti
National Park. The Serengeti is unequalled for its natural beauty and
contains more than 3 million large mammals all spread over the vast
endless plains. Further game drive this afternoon, before setting up
camp for the night in the Seronera National Park campsite. (BLD)

Day 6, NGORONGORO CRATER Ngorongoro Crater is one of the wonders
of the world. A large extinct volcano, with an area of 259 sq. kms, it
is a self-contained park with a huge variety of game and birdlife. Game
viewing in the Crater is almost guaranteed to provide the 'Big Five'.
We spend a full day on game drives in the Crater, with a picnic lunch.

sunrise with Africa laid out at your feet will make all the hard work
worthwhile! Descend to Horombo Hut for a well earned rest. (BLD)
