Day 1 Arusha
On arrival at Kilimanjaro, transfer to Mt.Meru Game Lodge at the foot of Mt. Meru. Today, relax and recover from your flight. You may also wander through the nearby coffee plantation and visit a local village closely associated with the lodge. Overnight Mt.Meru Game Lodge BB
Day 2 - 3 Ndarakwai Ranch
After breakfast, we drive to Kilimanaro Conservancy where we spend 2 nights at Ndarakwai Camp enjoying game activities, Masai interaction, close-up elephant viewing and breathtaking views of Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro. Owners Peter Jones and Margot Kiser-Jones fell in love with Ndarakwai's desolate beauty as they were looking for a smaller parcel of land outside Arusha. Once settled, they set up a conservancy to eliminate poaching, restore wildlife habitats to their former glory and create sustainable tourism programs benefiting wildlife and the local Masai. Peter Jones is a British archaeologist who worked at Olduvai Gorge between 1976 and 1984 and later gave up teaching archaeology at Harvard to live in Tanzania. FB
Day 4-5 Tarangire NP
We drive to the remote wilderness of eastern Tarangire, the setting of Oliver's camp. This down to earth camp with comfortable en-suite tents, mess and library tent and camp fires evokes fine memories of old Africa. From here you may enjoy excellent game drives or walks exploring the ancient wildlife migratory paths. FB
Day 6-7 Ngorongoro Highlands
After a morning game drive, we head for Ngorongoro Highlands, enjoying a game drive in Lake Manyara National park en route. On day 7, drive into Ngorongoro Crater, exploring the lush game-rich crater floor for the 'Big 5'. FB
Day 8 - 11 Serengeti NP
Today we take the morning flight to Serengeti. On arrival, we conduct a game drive to our Lemala Luxury Camp in remote Serengeti set up in a location close to the zebra and wildebeest migration. Between June and November, the camps are close to the Mara River in Northern Serengeti and are ideally located for the river crossings. Between December and April, the camps are in Ndutu. We spend 4 days game viewing through pristine wilderness areas which were the subject of two distinguished books, Bernard Grzimeck's 'Serengeti Shall Not Die' and Hugo Van Lawick's 'Savage Paradise'. FB
Day 12 - 14 Ruaha NP
We fly from the Serengeti to the incredible Ruaha National Park in Southern Tanzania, offering exceptional scenery, habitats and wildlife viewing. Ruaha is one of Tanzania great parks yet receives very few visitors because of its remoteness. As a result the 4x 4 game drives are very rewarding. FB
Day 15 - 17 Katavi NP
From Ruaha, we fly to Katavi National Park which receives less than 300 visitors yet contains super-abundant wildlife. In this mesmerizing, desolate wilderness, buffalo herds and hippo pods can stretch as far as the eye can see, especially in the dry season. The game experience here is unlike anywhere in Africa and you will feel utterly privileged to travel through this magnificent game country. FB
Day 18 - 20 Mahale NR
There is no better way to end your safari than at the exclusive Nkungwe Camp, a wonderful haven on the golden shores of Lake Tanganyika. Completely isolated from the rest of the world, the camp allows guests to follow chimpanzees which live in the Mahale Mountains, just behind the camp. As you return from this utterly absorbing adventure and dive into the warm waters of Lake Tanganyika at sunset, it will dawn on you what a special place this is, a place of pure Nirvana. FB
 
Day 21 Dar Es Salaam
Today, take a charter flight to Ruaha where you will join the schedule flight to Dar Es Salaam and connect with your onward flight home.
