Days/ 9 Nights Kenya
& Tanzania Sopa Lodges Safari
is a wildlife safari vacation exclusively
with Sopa Lodges. Amboseli Sopa is set in 200 acres
of private land, and with a rustic charm all of its
own, the lodge nestles in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro
which, at almost six thousand metres, is Africa’s
highest and most famous snowcapped mountain.
Amboseli National Park wildlife include: Leopard, Cheetah,
Wild dogs, Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra,
Lion, Plains Game, Crocodile, Mongoose, Hyrax, Dik-
dik, Lesser Kudu, and Nocturnal Porcupine. Prolific
bird life features 600 species
Facing
the always magnificent sunsets to the west, and located
at the highest point on Ngorongoro crater’s entire
rim, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge stands well over half a kilometer
above the crater floor and offers unparalleled views
across this enormous caldera.
Ngorongoro
conservancy is located in the Crater Highlands of Northeastern
Tanzania. Its magnificent savannah plains, highlands
and forest canopies harbor the Big 5, including a dense
population of lions, wildebeests, zebras and gazelles.
Located
on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the plains
of the south-western Serengeti National Park, home to
many thousands of wild and rare animals, Serengeti Sopa
Lodge lies within an area of out-standing natural beauty.
An oasis of cool relaxation from the equatorial sun.
Built
to blend in with the vastness of its surroundings, Tarangire
Sopa Lodge lies hidden among the kopjes, ancient baobab
and grasses of the Tarangire National Park - home to
the greatest concentration of elephants in Africa. Many
can be seen around the lodge, allowing visitors a close
encounter.

Day 3: Amboseli
National Park – Amboseli Sopa Lodge
Rising
early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds
build up over the summit, we set off for another stimulating
‘Spice’ game drive. Amboseli is an excellent
place to view a multitude of wildlife, including everything
from Wildebeest to Giraffes to Baboons.
The
great diversity of Amboseli wildlife is also evident
here—look for buffalo, hippopotamus, elephant,
giraffe, antelope, Thompson’s and Grant’s
gazelle, lions, and in season the spectacular migration
of the wildebeest and Zebra. In late afternoon we
venture out in another game drive.

Day 4:
Ngorongoro
Crater – Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
After
breakfast, drive to the border town of Namanga where
you will clear customs and immigration formalities.
Proceed in Tanzanian vehicles to Arusha for lunch.
A
lovely drive takes us to Ngorongoro Crater, where
our lodge sits dramatically on the rim of the crater,
revealing an awesome panorama of the world’s
largest, unflooded and unbroken caldera. Be prepared
for some remarkable views down into the crater.
The
caldera of Ngorongoro marks the ancient walls of a
collapsed volcano, which was probably once the size
of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Today the completely enclosed
circular crater is some twelve miles across, with
steep walls of over 2,000 feet. We are at an altitude
of approximately 7,500 feet above sea level, the highest
point on our trip. After our time on the lower plains,
the cooler air here is refreshing.
This
afternoon enjoy a short nature walk to learn more
about the local fauna, or just stay at the lodge and
admire the view.

Day
5:
Ngorongoro
Crater – Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
Early
this morning we descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor
to explore this natural zoological park, and observe
an extraordinary variety of wildlife: elephant, rhinoceros,
lion, hyena, zebra, wildebeest, Thomson's gazelle,
reedbuck, and buffalo.
The
lovely crested crane (similar to a peacock) can be
found in great profusion here and maybe you'll spot
a bat-eared fox. The balance of predator and prey
in this extraordinary ecosystem is so precise that
animals seldom leave.
Our
exact route is decided on the spot by our expert safari
guides, depending on where the animals are. An insider's
tip: bring plenty of film-you may never take better
wildlife photos anywhere else.
Ngorongoro
Crater is said to be one of the natural wonders of
the world. A spectacular game haunt, the 102-square-mile
crater is a perfect caldera, one of the largest on
earth. Millions of years ago a smoldering volcano
collapsed, creating the crater and a home for thousands
of animals amidst its many types of vegetation grown
and nourished over the centuries.
Over
30,000 animals live here: prides of lion, elephant,
leopard, cheetah and giraffe, gazelle by the thousands
and multitudes of wildebeest.
Uniquely
beautiful, we will never see its likes again. We spend
a memorable morning ensconced in the crater, exploring
its breadth and depth returning to the lodge for a
late lunch. Enjoy the afternoon at leisure. The views
from our lodge are outstanding and there are various
outlooks from which you can survey the crater.
And
tonight, as we delight in another luscious meal at
this exceptional lodge, we are once again stunned
by the beauty of the orange sunset that hovers in
the wild African sky, signaling the end to yet another
unforgettable day on safari.

Day
6: Serengeti
National Park – Serengeti Sopa Lodge
After
breakfast, drive to the Serengeti National Park, undoubtedly
the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled
for its natural beauty and the greatest concentration
of plains game anywhere.
En
route visit the Olduvai Gorge site of archeological
findings, where traces of pre-historic man dating
back to 3.5 million years ago have been discovered.
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.

7: Serengeti
National Park – Serengeti Sopa Lodge
A Serengeti game viewing
day. After breakfast this morning, enjoy a game drive.
The great diversity of Serengeti wildlife is also
evident here—look for buffalo, hippopotamus,
elephant, giraffe, antelope, Thompson’s and
Grant’s gazelle, lions, and in season the spectacular
migration of the wildebeest.
In late afternoon
we venture out in another game drive. Everywhere there
are animals, monkeys and, yes, birds…but look
closely and you will thrill to the huge jungle cats—lion,
leopard and cheetah—just watching the world
go by. And go by it does.
Rhino, gazelle, antelope
and massive elephants by the hundreds. Animals in
the trees, on the wing, camouflaged in the bush, in
rivers and in streams. The adventure of a lifetime.

9: Tarangire
National Park – Tarangire Sopa Lodge
Today
we will enjoy a full day game-viewing drive in Tarangire
National Park. We'll pack a picnic lunch. With nine
distinct vegetation zones ranging from grassland to
woodland, from deep gully vegetation to scattered
rocky hilltops, Tarangire offers a diverse geological
landscape as well as diverse wildlife, including an
extraordinary concentration of bird life.
Bulbous
baobab trees dot the landscape and the valley of the
Tarangire River dominates the entire scene. Tarangire
is teeming with an amazing diversity of exotic flora
and fauna including elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo.
Each
of our driver-guides has extensive knowledge of the
behavior of the great animals. Elephants are plentiful
here, traveling in larger herds than are normally
seen elsewhere in East Africa. At lunchtime, we'll
pause at a scenic spot for a leisurely picnic meal,
the great African wilderness as our backdrop.
