This morning drive to Tarangire National Park, a remote and wild region traversed by the life giving waters of the Tarangire River. With a full day’s game viewing en route, including a picnic lunch. Overnight at Tarangire Treetops

Today will be spent exploring this remarkable landscape in search of its extensive animal and birdlife. Littered with majestic old baobab trees, Tarangire is home to magnificent kudu and rare oryx, as well as over 500 species of birds, including the kori bustard, the world’s heaviest bird.

Today you head for the western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley and the dramatic Lake Manyara, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that boasts a staggering diversity of game and birdlife. From here continue to Gibbs Farm for lunch, before continuing to Ngorongoro Crater for a stay at the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge, located on the edge of the crater rim.

Entering the spectacular setting of Ngorongoro’s volcanic caldera, you enjoy the magnificent vistas of one of Africa’s most magnificent natural wonders. The open plains of this incredible amphitheatre present us with some of the finest game viewing on the planet, where elephant, lion, rhino and zebra abound, whilst its perennial marshes echo to the calls of a vast array of birdlife.

A visit to Olduvai Gorge this morning introduces us to the 1.75 million year old ‘Nutcracker Man’, one of the most important discoveries ever made in the continual search for man’s origin. You then continue into the Serengeti, for a stay at the Serengeti Migration Camp

The oldest and largest of Tanzania’s national parks, the Serengeti, whose name is derived from the Masai word for ‘endless plains’, presents us with the very essence of Africa. Its open savannahs thunder beneath the hooves of countless wildebeest and zebra, a tempting target for the ever-present predators. Spend the day in search of the Serengeti’s big game and so much more.

A morning transfer to Lobo airstrip for the flight to Arusha. On arrival transfer to the Arusha Coffee Lodge where you will have use of day rooms prior to the evening KLM departure to Amsterdam.
