The Wonders of Tanzania
March 18 - 24, 2017
A Tanzania Safari is something special so don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You’ll find this is a region of incredible natural
beauty with some of the best game-viewing in the world. Nearly twenty percent of this vast and spectacular country is protected and
you’ll find the Great Rift Valley with its dramatic volcanic landscape home to some of the most fertile grazing grounds on earth. The
Ngorongoro Crater is not only home to amazing wildlife, but the Maasai people live and farm here as they have for centuries. The very
name Serengeti is guaranteed to bring a glint to your eye! It’s up there in that wish list of legendary destinations you’ve always dreamt of
and the Serengeti is all it’s cracked up to be ~ you won’t be disappointed! With an ecosystem that supports some of the most plentiful
animal populations left in the world, the wildlife will seem bigger, stockier, stronger and sturdier than anyplace else. Your visit to this
area of sheer natural beauty will give you a true sense of how privileged you are to be able to experience the wonder of it all.
“To go on safari” with TRIPS in Tanzania is, and always will be a fascinating and exclusive experience!
Itinerary
March 18, 2017
After breakfast and a last look at the Mara, you’ll fly to Wilson Airport
in Nairobi and fly on to Mount Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania. If
conditions permit, you may get a glimpse of majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Here you will meet your Tanzania safari team and transfer via safari
vehicle to the Lake Manyara Serena Hotel in the beautiful countryside
of Tanzania. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure at your safari
lodge. This area is famous for its tree-climbing lions, flamingos and
breathtaking scenery.
Overnight: Lake Manyara Serena Hotel or similar
(B/D)
March 19, 2017
You continue by road today to the Ngorongoro Crater and your home
for the next two nights, the Ngorongoro Serena Hotel situated on the
rim of the crater with spectacular views. The Ngorongoro Crater and
surrounding highlands are one of Africa’s most beautiful regions and
this is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera measuring 100 square
miles. Home to the highest density of big game in Africa you have an
opportunity to spot the “big five” here! From the black rhino to some
of the largest tusker elephants left in Africa, be on the lookout!
Overnight: Ngorongoro Serena Hotel or similar
(B/L/D)
March 20, 2017
Today you descend to the crater floor for a day of touring! The vast
numbers of animals stay within the floor of the crater all year and
during your day you’ll spot zebras, lion, wildebeest and hyena. The
crater is also home to cheetah and leopard, so be sure and have those
binoculars ready! You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch during the day before
returning to the rim later this afternoon with time to relax by the fire
before dinner.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Serena Hotel or similar
(B/L/D)
March 21, 2017
You leave the crater area this morning bound for the world famous
Serengeti home to the largest concentration of game in all of Africa.
You have a full morning of travel ahead, but the journey has many
rewards. First, you stop at Olduvai Gorge, the site made famous by
Richard Leaky’s discovery of early humans. Then, continue into the
Serengeti, with a stop at the park sign for photographs. This drive is
always an excellent opportunity to spot game, so keep your eyes peeled
for cheetahs or lions resting on the rocks during the day. Arrive into
camp for a late lunch before freshening up at the Mbuzi Mawe Tented
Camp set in the heart of one of the world’s most famous parks - The
Serengeti! Enjoy a luxurious tented ‘cabin’ complete with it’s own ensuite bathroom with robe and slippers. This afternoon your safari team
will take you into the Serengeti for your first game drive in this massive
park filled with both predators and prey.
Overnight: Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp or similar

Serengeti has come to symbolize paradise to many and you will no
doubt agree after experiencing two amazing game drives today. The
Maasai who have grazed their cattle on the vast grassy plains called this
Siringitu ~ “the place where the land moves on forever.” As you travel
over a portion of this huge expanse, know that the climate, vegetation
and fauna have barely changed in the past million years. Patterns of life,
death and migration are truly as old as the hills themselves. The
Serengeti encompasses a massive and pristine wilderness area and you’ll
spot lion, hippopotamus, zebra, elephant, jackal, giraffe and with luck
the elusive cheetah and leopard. Home to over a million wildebeest,
watch as they mindlessly trudge along some unseen route they’ve no
doubt followed before.
Overnight: Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp or similar
