This morning after breakfast you will head to Tarangire National Park. You will do a game drive as you make your way to your accommodations. Tarangire has one of the densest populations of elephants in Africa and it is not uncommon to have one wander into camp! Return at the end of the day to watch the sunset before heading off to dinner. You might even fall asleep to the sounds of lions off in the distance or close up! (But don’t worry there are Maasai guards posted around camp all night).

Today you will spend another day in Tarangire National Park and all the wildlife there is to see – your experienced guide will take you to the best places to see elephant, buffalo, lion, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest; and perhaps an elusive leopard or cheetah. You will spend another night in Tarangire National Park.

This morning you will leave Tarangire and drive up the Great Rift Valley to the village of Mto Wa Mbu. Here we have arranged a lunch prepared by a women’s cooperative in the village. After you will make your way up to your accommodation which is well situated for an early start tomorrow to Ngorongoro Crater.

Today you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a game drive in one of the mostly densely packed wildlife areas in the world. Ngorongoro Crater is a collapsed volcano (a caldera) that formed about 2-3 million years ago. Measuring just 100 square miles on the floor it also boasts one of the densest population of lions in the area. At the end of the day, ascend the rim again and savor all that you have seen.

 This morning you will be driven by your guide to a nearby airstrip. After saying goodbye to your guide, who by now will seem like a member of your family, you will fly off to the northern Serengeti. There you will be met by your driver from KasKaz Camp. With only eight tents, this camp is superbly located to provide an indulgent base for optimal wildlife viewing. With large netted windows and draped roofing in each suite for “Serengeti- style air conditioning”, there is even a hammock to relax in after your game drive. Camp personnel are on call 24 hours to ensure that everyone is content in this stunning environment.

Spend a full day in the Serengeti. You will go on a game drive to look for wildlife and perhaps enjoy a lunch in the bush. There is a wide variety of wildlife in the area. The return at the end of the day to sit around the fire, enjoy a sundowner and then we will prepare a romantic private bush dinner for you.

Today is your final day in the Serengeti. You could spend weeks here and not see everything. Your guide will continue to educate you how all of the animals and nature live together. As you sip your sundowner around the fire think back on all that you have seen, all that you have done and the people you have met.

 Today you will say a final goodbye to the KasKaz Mara Camp staff who will also feel like they are members of your family and take a light aircraft from the Serengeti to the historic and exotic island of Zanzibar. You will arrive in Zanzibar in the early afternoon. There you will be transferred about 90 minutes to Unguja Lodge. Comprised of special self-contained “cottages” each has its own private terrace overlooking Menai Bay and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. It is the perfect setting for several days to rest, relax and savor your African experience.

Spend the day at Unguja Lodge (FB). You can swim, snorkel, take a dhow sailboat ride or just do nothing at all.

Spend a final day on Safari at Unguja Lodge (FB). Take a final walk on the beach as you reflect all that you have seen, done and experienced on your first trip to Africa – the wildlife you have seen, the people you have met and the beautiful sunsets you have witnessed.

 All good things must come to an end, but it is not goodbye but only until next time. Africa is now in your blood. At the appropriate time you will check out and be transferred to the airport for a flight to connect to your international flight home.
