Day 5: Amboseli National Park to Karatu

Tanzania is just a short distance from Amboseli National Park. After crossing the border we stop for a short while in Arusha to collect supplies for the next few days. The afternoon will be spent at Mto wa Mbu (pronounced ‘umto wambu’) learning more about the extremely varied cultural heritage of Tanzania. Within the estimated population of around 28 000, Mto wa Mbu is home to nearly 120 different tribes. This is an excellent opportunity to experience true cultural-diversity. Camping.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

The first glimpse of the Ngorongoro Crater is an unforgettable experience. Although commonly referred to as a crater, it is actually a caldera. At over 20 km’s across and 600m deep the Ngorongoro Caldera is the largest unbroken, un-flooded caldera in the world and clear testimony to this regions volcanic history. The most renowned part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, this unique feature is legendary for the more than 25 000 wild animals that occupy the crater-floor. Camping. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 7: Olduvai Gorge and Serengeti National Park

No visit to this part of the world would be complete without calling in at Olduvai Gorge – site of the Laetoli hominid footprints, Olduvai Museum and many fossilised hominid, animal and plant specimens. 4 different types of hominid have been discovered here, with more than 60 remains comprising the archaeological record. A self-guided tour of the museum and a short lecture provides an excellent start to learning more about the history of hominids and other mammals. A short visit to a nearby Masai Village rounds off the morning before you finally enter the Serengeti National Park. Camping. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 8: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

The 14 763 square kilometres of the Serengeti is made up of a variety of different habitats – plains, kopjes, river and forest. The vast size of Tanzania’s premier National Park makes game viewing only one aspect of the Serengeti - the scenery is simply breathtaking. A good camera is an essential item to take with you as well as lots of spare batteries, memory chips, film, etc. There is no bad time to visit the Serengeti as every season has its own special highlight – even the rainy season has the daily thunder and lightning to look forward to. Changing seasons and light patterns form the most beautiful backdrop to view Africa’s majestic and incredible wildlife. Camping. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

Day 9: Arusha, Tanzania

The drive from Serengeti back to Arusha is still filled with birds, animals and beautiful scenery. On arrival in Arusha there will be some time to visit the Cultural Heritage Centre where many items of local produce are on sale – including Tanzanite. For those who prefer to leave the Serengeti in comfort an optional scenic flight from the Serengeti to Arusha can be arranged at an additional cost, but must be pre booked.
