Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Tarangire National Park.The Park is named after the
Tarangire River which runs through it. This ‘river of warthogs’ is the only source of water for
wildlife in the region during the dry season. In places, the vegetation is quite dense, including
elephant grass, acacia woodlands and lush groundwater forest. The Park is well known for its
elephant families, which can often be seen congregating by the river. You may also see giraffe,
bushbuck and hartebeest. These animals are closely followed by a range of predators, including
lions and leopards. There are more breeding species of birds found in Tarangire National Park than
anywhere else on the planet!

Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Lake Manyara National Park which is an unspoilt
paradise and is best known for its abundance of birds and tree-climbing lions. The dramatic
western escarpment of the Rift Valley forms the Park’s western border. To the east is the shallow,
alkaline Lake Manyara. The lake covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the
seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos during the rains. The name Manyara comes from the
Maasai word ‘emanyara’, a popular plant which is used to build the protective enclosure around a
family homestead (boma). The Park’s vegetation is diverse, ranging from savannah to evergreen
forest. On your exploration of the park you may see giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant
and if you are lucky; lions lounging in the trees.

After early breakfast, you will descend down the crater which is almost 600m deep.
The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three
million years ago. It is famous for both its geological delights and for being a natural reserve
which is home to some of the densest large mammal populations in the whole of the African
continent. The drive down the into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the
Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and
more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the bestchance of seeing the endangered
black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.
After Lunch and an extensive game drive inside the crater, we head for our luxury lodge at the rim
of the crater for dinner and overnight.

Early morning after breakfast, we depart to Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti is truly
spectacular. It is famous for its vast open grasslands which allow for excellent sightings of
wildlife. The Serengeti is Tanzania’s oldest National Park and it is also one of the oldest
ecosystems on earth. Its climate and vegetation have remained largely untouched for millions of
years. Whilst the Serengeti boasts abundant wildlife, it is perhaps best known for the annual
Great Migration. Vast numbers of wildebeest; accompanied by large numbers of zebra and antelope
move in an annual pattern, constantly seeking fresh grazing. The precise timing of the Migration
is entirely dependent upon the rainfall patterns each year.
After Lunch and an extensive gamedrive, we head for our Tented partner lodges for dinner and
overnight.

After breakfast, you will head straight to the airport to catch your flight to Zanzibar airport
ZNZ and through (Stone Town) before travelling to the northern east coast of Zanzibar known as
Kiwengwa. Kiwengwa Beach is located on the northeast coast of Zanzibar, 40 km from Stone Town. The
sea-floor slope is smooth, the water deepens slowly and the tides are strong. The coast and bottom
are covered with soft snow-white sand, tall palm trees grow around the perimeter. The Indian Ocean
is warm, the azure water is clean and clear. Kiwengwa was originally a small fishing village
without communication and tourist infrastructure. In recent years, authorities have given
permission to build hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops. Instead of the old dilapidated
fishermen huts, guest houses, guesthouses, bungalows began to appear. The Maasai tribes own most
of the stores and sell African souvenirs. Today Kiwengwa is a popular developed resort complex
where vacationers from all over the world have fun.
