From Kenya to Tanzania
Day 1: Lake Nakuru National Park
An early morning pick up then drive
to Lake Nakuru National Park, across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies
the rift valleys most famous lake Nakuru. Known all over the world for its
flamingoes, it's alkaline and is recognized as being one of the natural wonders
of the world. Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of
over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingos, of course, have
always been the main attraction. At times there may be almost 2 million
flamingos in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band
around the edge of the lake shore. Arrive in time for lunch then have an
afternoon game drive.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 2: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
An early morning drive to Maasai
Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where
wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 3 And 4: Maasai Mara Game Reserve
Two full days in the Maasai Mara
with flexible schedule and unlimited mileage. After breakfast, we have a full
day dame drive with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its
black-manned lion as well as its abundant resident wildlife and its one of the
few places where it's possible to see the big five during a morning's game
drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun
under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get better view of
prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500
species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks
and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard
(including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species
of sun birds.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 5: Maasai Mara to the Serengeti
We will initiate the day with an
early morning game drive in Maasai Mara while driving out of the National
reserve. After border formalities, drive to the Serengeti National Park in
Tanzania. It will be a long day of driving but the game drives in and out of
the parks can be surprisingly incredible. However, we always recommend to fly
from one park to the other so that you can have more time to go on Safari.
Alternatively, you can add an extra day to visit Lake Victoria, half way
between the two parks.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 6 And 7: Serengeti National Park
Two full days in the Serengeti with
flexible schedule and unlimited mileage.
As you crest the hillside, spread
out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti
mean "endless plains" in Kiswahili and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000
sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than
a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's
gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to
the area by this abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park. Many
smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger,
jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with
nearly 500 species of birds.
On the way into the Serengeti,
option to stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey
made their discovery of the first man that walked the earth. After attending a
short lecture describing the archeological digs and geology of the gorge,
you'll have time to visit the small museum. Afternoon game drive en-route to
campsite.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 8: Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Conservation
Area
Today you will wake up very early to
do an early morning safari before breakfast, to spot the animals when they are
more active and also to have a fantastic sun rise in front of you. The sunrise
in the african Savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have.
After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, transfer
to Ngorongoro, the 8th natural wonder of the world. With walls 2,000 ft high
and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual
Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East
Africa including the rare black rhino.
In fact, the crater has the greatest
concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps,
a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest
and open plains.
The large bull elephants that reside
here have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic
soil and its grasses. They are the most incredible elephants you'll ever see in
your life.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 9: Ngorongoro Crater
Very early in the morning, descend
down to the crater floor for a day of wildlife viewing in one of the most
incredible places on Earth. After a stop for a picnic lunch near the hippo
lake, and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, drive up the steep road out
of the crater and transfer to Lake Manyara for overnight.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
Day 10: Lake Manyara National Park
Depart after breakfast and drive
across the Great Rift Valley to Lake Manyara National Park for a full day game
drive. Although only 205 sq. miles in size this enchanting park is noted for
its beauty and incredibly lush acacia forest of giant fig and mahogany trees,
which are home to troops of baboons and blue monkeys. The park is also home to
a large numbers of buffalos, giraffes, elephants, impalas and a Hippo lake,
where large numbers of hippos usually gather. Well known for its birds (over
400 different species), Lake Manyara is one of the few places where you'll be
able to see the Ground Hornbill and the Crested Eagle. This park has become
famous for the the climbing lions and the flamingos in the lake shore. The
landscapes of these park are absolutely stunning, very different from the
Serengeti for example. The game drives are done along the shore of the lake,
providing incredible views of giraffes and buffalos in the foreground with the
lake, flamingos and flat plains in the horizon. Great photo opportunities! In
the afternoon, transfer to Arusha or airport.
Dinner and overnight at campsite or
lodge.
This tour can depart any day of the
year.
