Itinerary
-
Day 1 - Nairobi Welcome to Nairobi! Meet at Nairobi airport and transfer to our start hotel in Nairobi. Check into your shared dorm before meeting your fellow passengers and crew at 17:00 for a welcome meeting.
-
Day 2 - Arusha Nairobi - Arusha (Tanzania). Journeying south via Namanga, we cross the border and head into neighbouring Tanzania. Home to some of Africa’s finest game reserves, we camp at the attractive safari frontier town of Arusha. The town is perfectly placed for our visit to two of Tanzania’s best game reserves - the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
-
Day 3-5 - Ngorongoro Crater Arusha - Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti. This morning visit the Meserani Reptile Museum and Masai Cultural Museum, see the iconic Tinga Tinga paintings in a local gallery by the campsite. Or perhaps enjoy free time for lunch at our campsite against the backdrop of Mount Meru before we meet our Tanzanian guides and travel via the Masai town of Mtu Wa Mbu (Mosquito River) that lies adjacent to the Lake Manyara National Park and then up the Rift Valley Escarpment to the higher lying village of Karatu, our base for the night.
The following morning, we depart early for the Ngorongoro Conservation area and head into the wildlife rich Ngorongoro Crater. This World Heritage Site boasts some of the best game viewing in Africa – including the elusive Black Rhino. Following our game drive in the Crater rim, we head down past the “Cradle of Mankind” on our way to the Serengeti National Park, crossing vast plains as we drive through the southern and central areas of the park. Tonight we camp in the bushveld surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness. In the morning, we head off for another game drive and explore the landscape in search of the resident game. With some luck, we may see some of Africa’s ‘Big 5’. We return to Arusha on day 5. -
Day 6 - Dar es Salaam Arusha - Pangani. Today we head south. On the way we may catch a glimpse of Mt Kilimanjaro’s snowy summit, weather permitting. We pass through vast sisal plantations surrounded by the Usambara and Pare Mountain ranges, before reaching our lovely campsite nestled between these mountains, midway between Arusha and Dar es Salaam.
-
Day 7 - Dar es Salaam Pangani - Dar es Salaam. Spend the day travelling through lush scenery and palm trees as we near the warm Indian Ocean to our campsite in the city of Dar es Salaam. Today’s drive time is extended due to the heavier amount of traffic heading into the city, but the sights and sounds of Dar’s vibrant outer suburbs are sure to keep you entertained. Look out for the colourful shop-fronts with their sometimes humorous ‘catch phrases’.
-
Day 8-10 - Zanzibar Dar es Salaam - Zanzibar. A ferry from Dar Es Salaam takes us to ‘Spice Island’, where we spend the next three nights. Zanzibar is steeped in history and offers a wealth of experiences. Wander the streets of Stone Town, take an excursion around a spice plantation or simply laze on one of the pristine white sandy beaches, the choice is yours!
-
Day 11 - Dar es Salaam Zanzibar - Dar es Salaam. Leaving Zanzibar in the afternoon, we return to Dar es Salaam on the mainland. Arrival back to camp is usually in the late afternoon, or early evening. In Dar we exchange addresses and part ways, having just experienced a trip of a lifetime!
