Arrive Kilimanjaro International Airport. You will be met by a Wild Frontiers representative and transferred to Arusha.
Resting at the foot of Mount Meru, the city of Arusha is known as the safari capital of northern Tanzania. It serves as an excellent base from which to explore the remarkably scenic surrounding area which includes majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as the Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro National Parks.
Just 10 minutes drive from Arusha, Lake Duluti Lodge is set on the shores of Lake Duluti. The lodge comprises 18 spacious contemporary African-styled romantic rustic chalets offering privacy and lovely views of this active coffee farm.
Overnight at Lake Duluti Lodge on a bed and breakfast basis.
Dinner
This morning we head off early, with a picnic lunch, to explore Tarangire National Park.
Highly underated, yet bursting with a dense wildlife population, it won’t take you long to appreciate just why we love Tarangire. It’s a special park, virtually untouched, with far fewer visitors than the world famous Serengeti and Ngorongoro. During the dry season (June to September) thousands of animals including elephant, buffalo, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, and the rarely seen oryx migrate from the dry Maasai steppe to the Tarangire River in search of water. Lion, leopard and other predators follow, so be sure to be sure to charge your camera battery and empty your memory stick as some unique memories are waiting to be made. With impressive landscapes dominated by baobab trees, an enormous elephant population and over 550 varieties of bird, Tarangire offers secluded game viewing and loads of game – a winning combination in anyone's book!
Tarangire Balloon Camp is a small intimate property with ten luxurious safari tents. The camp is located on a ridge top in a remote area in Eastern Tarangire, close to Boundary Hill gate with spectacular views of Tarangire National Park.
Overnight at Tarangire Balloon Camp on a full board basis.
Drinks
Today we will conduct some site inspections around Tarangire and Ngoronogoro/ Karatu area, enjoying some game viewing on route perhaps.
Perched on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, the magnificent Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is the only property on the eastern rim of this World Heritage Site.
Overnight at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge on a full board basis.
Incredible and unforgettable, today is surely one you’ve been itching to tick off your African travel bucket list. One of the natural wonders of the world, the volcanic caldera of Ngorongoro Crater offers spectacular game viewing in the crater. We can almost guarantee you four of the Big Five will show up, as well as a rich variety of birds, all viewed against the splendid backdrop of the thickly forested crater walls. Varied terrains and dramatic landscapes consisting of forest, grasslands and both freshwater and soda lakes make the Ngorongoro Crater a true marvel of creation.
Our picnic lunch on the crater floor will forever remain a unique memory.
Continue onto the Seronera region, in the central Serengeti, is set directly on the Great Migration route, and offers excellent viewing of this incredible annual phenomenon, when countless wildebeest flood across the plains. While migratory game populations fluctuate seasonally, Seronera is still a wildlife hotspot at other times of the year, sheltering the Big Five, among many other species. A number of small campsites provide accommodation and visitors can enjoy hot air balloon trips and walking safaris as well as guided game drives.
In the heart of the Serengeti National Park, in a pristine area that offers unparalleled game viewing, lies our Serengeti Wilderness Camp. If you are looking for an intimate safari experience, without compromising on comfort, then this is the camp for you.
