Meal Plan {Bed & Breakfast}

Your safari adventure begins with a scenic flight to Amboseli National Park, famous for its big game and superb views of snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. This afternoon is spent viewing game in this spectacular area.

 

Covered by savanna and acacia trees, the open flat plains are ideal places to search for the wildebeests, buffaloes, cheetahs, lions, hyenas, zebras, hippos etc.

 

It has two permanent water springs which are underground seepage from the snow capped Mount Kilimanjaro which the Park has as its magnificent backdrop. Big elephant families will be spotted wallowing in the swamp which is also full of bird life. It’s also home to the Maasai people.

Overnight at Tortilis Camp or Amboseli Serena Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

Leaving your camp at dawn, watch the wildlife awake in search of breakfast. Later, set off in the late afternoon for a game drive, an ideal time to see predators as they begin to stir from the shade and roam onto the plains.

Overnight at Tortilis Camp or Amboseli Serena Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

Drive to Arusha for lunch, then fly to Lake Manyara and we journey to Ngorongoro Crater to our lodge. Perched on the rim of the crater, it offers an awesome panorama of the enormous caldera below.

 

This magnificent natural amphitheatre contains the largest concentration of animals in all of Africa. Prides of lion, black rhino and elephant share this land with the legendary Masai tribesmen who tend their cattle here.

 

As for the views, from lilac-streaked sunrise, to indigo star studded night, the immeasurably ancient Ngorongoro Crater delivers a theatre of vistas, mostly unchanged since the dawn of time.

 

Overnight at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge or Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

This morning we descend 2,000 feet into the giant caldera of this extinct volcano. This magnificent natural amphitheatre contains the largest concentration of animals in all of Africa. Prides of lion, black rhino and elephant share this land with the legendary Masai tribesmen.

 

Because the grasses are short, game is easily spotted and can be approached quite closely. We spend a splendid morning on the floor of the crater observing wildlife in this ageless World Heritage Site.

 

Overnight at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge or Ngorongoro Serena Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

The Serengeti National Park is our destination today. En route we stop at Olduvai Gorge, the “cradle of mankind,” where the Leakey family uncovered the fossil of Homo habilis, who lived 1.75 million years ago.

 

Arriving at our lodge in time for lunch, we find ourselves deep in the heart of this famous migration corridor. With its wide-open spaces, bright blue skies and creature-filled landscape, over the next two days we will discover why the fabled Serengeti typifies the dream of “Old Africa.”

 

Large prides of lions laze in the long grasses; plentiful families of elephants feed on acacia bark and trumpet to each other across the plains, while giraffes, gazelles, monkeys, eland and the whole range of African wildlife present themselves in awe-inspiring numbers.

Overnight at Sanctuary Kusini or Serengeti Serena Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

We wing our way across the great plains to the Maasai Mara via Arusha and Nairobi. A game reserve shared with the Maasai people, the Mara most certainly offers the finest game viewing in Kenya as well as the ideal location for
an exhilarating Hot-Air Balloon Safari.

 

During our time in the Mara, we also visit a Masai village in the company of an insightful tribal Elder. And, romance awaits in the form of an extraordinary sunset cocktail party in the bush overlooking the Great Rift Valley.

Overnight at Sanctuary Olonana or Mara Serena Safari Lodge

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

The jewel in Africa's crown, Masai Mara is host to the most spectacular array of wildlife. The Siria Escarpment, together with the acacia dotted plains, creates scenery of stunning beauty. Game viewing is never dull here, and patience is often rewarded with unique wildlife sightings.

 

You may also visit a local community project; see below for details. Olonana Tree Planting Initiative: invites guests to plant an indigenous tree as a way to personally aid in reforestation efforts in the Masai Mara.
