Day 2:
After a leisurely breakfast and a briefing session on your safari, you will be driven to a
Coffee Estate for coffee tour and then an alfresco lunch in the garden at the Arusha Coffee
Lodge.
After lunch you will be chauffeured to Arusha Airport to board our Executive Grand
Caravan and fly to Kuro Airstrip in Tarangire National Park. On arrival at the airstrip,
the Tarangire Treetops team will meet you for an afternoon game drive in Tarangire
National Park after which you will enter through Treetops’ private reserve.
Your stay here is for 2 nights in a Tree House, and is on an all-inclusive basis (includes all
meals, laundry service, transfers, game drives, scheduled activities, and drinks –

The Tarangire Treetops’ houses meander through the branches of thousand-year old
trees.
The nights are magical, as the winds seem to carry bedtime stories from the ancient
branches of the mighty marula and baobabs, to calm your senses and cradle your
slumber. Under these clear and sparkling African skies your dreams and fairy tales have
been waiting for you! Nowhere, does fantasy come alive as it does here. Awaken to
beautiful bird song, leave only your footprints, take only your memories, as you walk
alongside the creatures of the African wilderness.

Day 3:
After breakfast at Treetops you will enjoy a full day of activities including game drives, a
visit to an authentic Maasai village, a game-walk, sundowners in the bush and a night
game drive. Lunch and dinner will be served at Treetops
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire has a stunning baobab tree studded landscape and is a bird watchers
paradise, containing the highest number of breeding bird species of any habitat in the
world. It is also home to thousands of resident elephants and huge herds of buffalo, a
good place to see leopard and lion and a wide variety of plains game.
Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while
migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the
shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti
ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where drycountry antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk
are regularly observed.
Dinner at Treetops is always a delight, whether it is in the Masai Manyatta under the
stars with local Masai warriors to entertain or in the more sophisticated dhow-wood
furnished restaurant overlooking the floodlit waterhole being overlooked in turn by giant
baobab trees.

After breakfast you will go on morning game drive through Tarangire National Park. All
the vehicles are 4-wheel drive, open sided and very comfortable. Stop at leisure for a

where you will arrive in time for high tea!
Here, your 2-night stay will be in a cottage on an all-inclusive basis (includes all meals,
laundry service, transfers, game drives, scheduled activities, and drinks – excluding
premium drinks).
The Manor at Ngorongoro, located on a huge coffee estate adjacent to the Ngorongoro
Conservation area, enjoys magnificent views over the coffee bushes to far-flung African
horizons. Designed to celebrate the Cape Dutch settlers influence in the region, its
sparkling, white painted, ornate gables are set off perfectly amongst the mature
indigenous and exotic trees.
Enjoy the splendour of watching the sun go down from your private terrace before an
evening of sophisticated up–country hospitality in the magnificent main house.

Day 5:
After breakfast, a Secluded Safaris vehicle will drive you down the crater for a full day of
exploration of the Ngorongoro Crater. A picnic hamper lunch will be served on the crater
floor. After lunch, you will explore more of the crater before heading back to the Manor
for the evening cocktails, dinner and overnight.
Ngorongoro & The Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest
intact caldera in the world. Some maintain that before it erupted, it would have been
higher than Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Today, long since having
collapsed and eroded, it is an extensive highland area with the famous 600 m deep
Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. Nearly three million years old, the ancient caldera
shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth.
Endangered black rhino are protected within its rim, giant tusked elephants wander the
forests, black-maned lions stalk the grasslands, and flamingoes crowd the soda lakes. An
estimated 25 000 large mammals are resident in this bowl of plenty, including a
population of approximately 6 000 resident wildebeest, 16 highly endangered black rhino
and around 70 lions. Cheetah move in and out of the Crater, while leopard are most often
encountered in the spectacular Lerai Forest.

Day 6:
Today, you have the option of visiting the Lake Manyara National Park or staying at the
lodge to explore the estate. Choose from a host of activities including horseback riding,
cycling, an estate tour or a massage treatment (1 treatment per person) or, you may opt
to just relax. After lunch you will be driven to the Manyara airstrip for your onward
flight to the Serengeti where upon arrival you will be met by the Migration Camp team.
The afternoon will be spent on a game drive with arrival at Serengeti Migration
Camp in time for sundowners.
You will spend the next 2 nights at Serengeti Migration Camp where your stay is in a
luxurious safari tent, on an all-inclusive basis (includes all meals, laundry service,
transfers, game drives, scheduled activities, and drinks – excluding premium drinks).
Serengeti Migration camp is hidden in a beautiful place where the spirit of your
origins is rekindled, a place where the breeze whispers in your ear, assuring you that life
has meaning beyond the “everyday”. She is a spa for your soul and nourishment for life’s
numbness. At Migration Camp, silence and peace are so enchanting, that they create a
private symphony whose audience is your every sensation. Discover the pleasure of raw
wilderness on a level never imagined.

Day 7:
After breakfast you will spend the full day exploring the vast Serengeti. Enjoy a lunch in
the bush, after which the afternoon will be spent game viewing. You will return to
Serengeti Migration Camp in time for sundowners and dinner.
The Serengeti
It is not possible to say with any accuracy where the Great Migration of the Wildebeest
will be at any one time. There are a number of determining factors depending on the
rains and the grazing. However, one can be assured that if there is a good chance of
seeing it then this can be accomplished from Migration Camp. So today will be spent in
an open safari cruiser, well stocked with a picnic hamper and cool drinks, for the great
expedition to find the Migration.
But it should be remembered that not all the animals in the Serengeti opt to join the
wildebeest in their time-honored circuit to find the best grazing. Zebras certainly tag
along and a good number of predators who are looking for the weak and unwary. But
many species are quite happy with their own territory, which makes a day’s game
driving in the Serengeti an absolute delight and an experience to be treasured and
remembered.

Day 8:
Enjoy an early morning game walk to explore along the banks of the great Grumeti
River, after which you will traverse the plains of the vast Serengeti on a game drive enroute to Serengeti Pioneer Camp. Lunch will be enjoyed out in the bush and you will
arrive at camp in time to watch the sun go down.
You will spend the next night at Serengeti Pioneer Camp where your stay is in a luxurious
safari tent, on an all-inclusive basis (includes all meals, laundry service, transfers, game
drives, scheduled activities, and drinks – excluding premium drinks).
Paying homage to the mobile camps of the 1930’s, a time when an African safari was
truly a journey into the unknown, Serengeti Pioneer Camp’s ‘zero footprint’ and close
proximity to nature combines to make an unmistakably distinctive and truly individual
offering. Serengeti Pioneer Camp captures the original essence of the mobile African
safari, engendering nostalgic wonderment whilst unlocking the adventurous spirit
within all of us. The drama and beauty of the Serengeti National Park is indeed aweinspiring.

Day 9-12:
After breakfast you will be transferred back to Seronera Airstrip where your scheduled
flight to Zanzibar departs at 11.05 hours. Your plane will touch down in Arusha before
continuing on to Zanzibar. Upon arrival in Zanzibar you will be met and welcomed by a
Kilindi Zanzibar representative and thereafter you are chauffeured to Kilindi Resort. A
host of optional activities is available, ranging from dive courses to hot stone massages.
Your accommodation at Kilindi Zanzibar will be in Luxurious Pavilion for 4 nights on allinclusive basis. (Plunge pool, tropical garden, wet room and lounge area, all meals
including beach dinners, room service, snacks, laundry, and drinks - excluding premium
drink)
The very mention of Zanzibar – the beautiful and historic spice island lying just off the
coast of Tanzania – is enough to conjure up a multitude of mental images that are both
exotic and striking. It is this emotional reaction that has caused this Indian Ocean Island
to become one of the world’s most sought-after holiday destinations.
Kilindi Zanzibar lies on the northwest coast of the island and is embraced by 50 acres of
the most luscious and tropical gardens imaginable. Kilindi comprises of 15 eastern-styled
pavilion guest rooms, each of which has its own private plunge pool, private sun terrace
and extraordinary wet room with unique radiance shower.
