8 Days Lodge Safari

We will arrange a personal transfer from Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha at the Hotel, where the remainder of the day is at leisure. We’ll take in the hotel for a pre-safari briefing and any detailed checkup. Full board booked.

After breakfast, your driver/guide will collect you and your safari will commence. It will take three hours’ drive to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is spectacular in any season and many of the migratory wildlife species can be found at the permanent waters of Tarangire River. Huge herds of wildebeest, zebras, elephants, elands and Oryx gather until the onset of the rain, when they migrate again to good grazing areas. Dinner and overnight at the lodge

Drive to Serengeti National Park via Olduvai Gorge, which takes between three to four hours. Olduvai George is an archaeological site located in the eastern Serengeti plains, where early human fossils were first discovered.

Serengeti National Park has the amazing landscape that earned it the Maasai name Serengeti – Endless Plains. In the evening, enjoy a game drive in the Serengeti. Again this is a great time to view the game – particularly the carnivores as this is their favorite time to hunt. Before dark, you shall return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, venture out to the Serengeti’s watering holes, hippo pools, and other sites of interest in a full-day game drive. At midday, partake in a picnic lunch while enjoying the vastness of the Serengeti with the largest concentration of plains game on earth. In the late evening, return to the lodge for rest, dinner, and overnight stay.

After breakfast, begin your day with a morning game drive in the Serengeti, and then later in the afternoon drive to Ngorongoro via Olduvai Gorge. Once at the crater’s rim, get some rest and dinner. Overnight at the Lodge.

After breakfast, drive down into Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy a full day game drive. This is undoubtedly one of the best places to see the rare black rhino in Africa, not to mention the pride of lions and the magnificent black-maned lions. There are lots of colorful flamingos and a variety of water birds.

In the crater, you are also likely to see leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, many members of the antelope family, and small mammals of all sorts. In the late afternoon, you will drive onward to Karatu town where you can settle in for dinner and rest at the lodge.

After a well-prepared breakfast, you will begin your drive to Lake Eyasi. Here you will see a great variety of birdlife along the shore of this beautiful lake, and the location alone makes it a great place to spend a couple of nights. The meadows along the shore are home to a wide variety of wildlife including the elusive leopard, hippos, a variety of monkeys, and most importantly a host of both greater and lesser flamingos.

Several very pleasant private lodges and tented camps are located in the forest clearings by the lake; these provide great accommodation and are made as much as possible from local materials.
