Day-by-Day Itinerary

  1. We drive through Maasai grazing land to Tarangire National Park, a landscape of enormous baobabs and a permanent river that draws great herds of elephant. Game drives follow the river valley, with excellent chances of lion, giraffe and a remarkable variety of birds.

  3. Lake Manyara sits beneath the Rift Valley escarpment, layering groundwater forest, open floodplain and a shallow soda lake. We look for tree-climbing lions, large baboon troops, hippo pools and — in the right season — flamingos along the shoreline.

  4. The Serengeti opens out in front of you: short-grass plains, granite kopjes and horizon in every direction. We spend the day tracking predators and plains game with your guide, pausing for a picnic lunch in the shade before the light softens into a golden afternoon drive.

  6. We descend more than 600 metres onto the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, a contained world of grassland, forest and soda lake. The density of wildlife here is extraordinary — lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo and flamingo, with a genuine chance of black rhino.
