WILDLIFE SAFARI - 2010
 

2010 Safari Cost
US$3,240 per person*
(Double occupancy)

Single Supplement
US$645*
  January 26 -  LAKE MANYARA NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast, we load up our 4x4 safari vehicles, and head off for our first day in the bush.  Lake Manyara National Park is very different  from the other parks with it’s diversity of habitats.  It is home to the unusual tree-bound lions and the elusive forest primate, the blue monkey, among many other creatures.   The Lake supports a large array of bird life, such as yellow-billed storks, white-necked cormorants, pelicans, and Egyptian geese.  We overnight at the luxurious Kirirumu Tented Lodge, on the edge of the scarp overlooking the Rift Valley. (All meals.)
 
  January 27/29   - SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

The sprawling Serengeti is the stage for the greatest animal migration on our planet.  The Serengeti is home to black-maned lions, countless herds of wildebeest, antelope, zebra, giraffe, hippo, leopard, cheetah, buffalo and elephant. On our early morning and late afternoon game drives you discover how each creature, from the tiniest termite to the largest elephant, are all interdependent in nature’s great cycles of life. 

We will be staying for 3 nights at either Ndutu Safari Lodge, or in our own Private Classic Camp, depending on the availability of accommodation.  Both sites are located in the midst of the migration.  The timing of our visit is crucial, as this is calving season for most of the millions of wildebeest.  Consequently there is lots of wildlife activity here.  (All meals).
 
   January 30 - NGORONGORO CRATER

The awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater is a 110 square-mile volcanic caldera, which collapsed two million years ago.  It is encircled by 2000-ft., sheer walls. We drive down the narrow track to the crater floor, now a lush verdant paradise. The crater swarms with 30,000 head of wild game, stalked by great prides of lion, jackal, hyena and leopard.  Ngorongoro is one of the few places left on earth where you can see the almost extinct black rhinos in their natural habitat. We overnight at the Kifaru Lodge (all meals).
 
  January 31 - NGORONGORO CRATER - FLY OUT

We head out for our last game drive down in the crater.  Around lunchtime, we start heading back to Arusha, where you will be able to shop for some souvenirs for all of your envious friends and family at home. 

After picking up your stored climbing gear in Arusha, we start our drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport, to get you on your flight back home.
 
  February 1 - ARRIVE HOME

We land back at home today.
