Itinerary
Days of Adventure
DAY 1
Arrive in Arusha, Tanzania
Karibu! Welcome to Arusha. A guide will meet you at the airport via your Delta/KLM flight and transport you to your accommodations: a lodge set in a beautiful coffee plantation in the foothills of Mount Meru.
DAYS 2–4
Serengeti National Park
A short bush flight brings you directly into the heart of the Serengeti.
The next three days will be filled with big cats, the Big Five and—with luck—Great Migration herds. Your seasonal mobile camp brings you as close to the wildlife as possible.
DAYS 5–6
Ngorongoro Crater & Highlands
The world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera also hosts the densest concentration of large mammals on the planet.
You’ll explore its floor over the next two days and search for the Big Five, including the rare black rhino. In the evenings, you’ll retire to Gibb’s Farm, a three-time Travel + Leisure Top Safari Lodge in Africa.
DAYS 7–9
Ruaha National Park
Rugged, raw and one of the most remote safari locations in East Africa, Ruaha is a rare treat for travelers.
It’s the only park in Africa where you can find East African and Southern African wildlife, and a prime location for finding rare species like kudu, wild dog and sable antelope with the help of local guides and expert spotters.
DAYS 10–11
Nyerere National Park
Three times larger than the Serengeti, brimming with rare creatures, Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is perfect for safari by foot, vehicle and boat.
This unique riverine environment provides a gripping end to your adventure. The opportunity to see amphibious species up close is remarkable for safari goers in East Africa, and it pairs wonderfully with a serene walking excursion.
DAY 13
Depart Tanzania
Fly to Dar es Salaam for your international flight home, with an opportunity to relax in a day room at Kilimanjaro Hotel.
Add-On
