Day 1 Depart the UK.
Day 2 Arrive into Arusha. Met and transferred to a guest house in Arusha.
Day 3 Depart for Lake Manyara, traversing the Great African Rift Valley that scars Africa from the Red Sea to Mozambique. Afternoon game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Lake Manyara National Park was immortalised in Hemingways Green Hills Of Africa and represents a habitat distinct from elsewhere in our safari. Our afternoon game drive allows us to explore the ground-water forest, rich in birds and monkeys, visit the hippo pool, and the acacia woodlands that border the soda lake swathed in the pink of the resident flamingos. Meals and Overnight at Lake Manyara Adventure Camp.
Day 4 After an early breakfast we carve our way through the forested slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands, en route to the Serengeti. From here the predator-rich plains of the Serengeti unfurl before us as we game drive through the park to arrive at Camp, just before dusk. Dinner and overnight Serengeti Adventure Camp.
Day 5 A full day to explore the Serengeti, the most famous National Park in Africa. Our driver-guide will choose our route based on his extensive knowledge of the park and local conditions but the Serengeti rarely disappoints. Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Adventure Camp.
Day 6 After breakfast depart for Ngorongoro Crater, with a final Serengeti game drive en-route. We stop at Olduvai Gorge to visit the site where many early man skulls and bones have been found. We descend down the 2000-ft walls of the Crater, a World Heritage Site and home to nearly 25,000 animals, for a game drive. Here you have a very real chance of spotting the big five: lion, elephant, endangered black rhino, buffalo and leopard plus countless other African mammal species. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Adventure Camp, perched on the Crater Rim.
Day 7 We return to Arusha for lunch. Transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
