way that only Peter can show you. |
Day 1: Arusha
Whenever you arrive,
you'll be personally met and
transferred to the family-owned
and managed Rivertrees Lodge
built on the banks of a river
and shaded under a canopy of
beautiful trees in a thick African forest along a
beautiful river. For those
arriving early for their safari
tour in Tanzania, optional
activities can be arranged. |
Days 2 & 3: West
Kilimanjaro
Drive through a
patchwork of farmland skirting
the flanks of Mount Kilimanjaro
before reaching into the
beautiful highlands of the
western edge of Mount
Kilimanjaro, onto a private Maasai conservancy
reserve where award-winning Elephant
conservation efforts take place.
Spend 2 nights in a Luxury
Tented Camp, the only guests on
60 000 acres. Game view in
vehicles and track Elephant on
foot. Learn about the local
Maasai and experience some of
the most awesome scenery in
Africa. |
Day 4: West

visiting sacred Maasai cave
paintings with an optional visit

Days 6 & 7: Ngorongoro
Crater
You will spend the next
2 days of your safari tour in Tanzania
in one of the most phenomenal places in
Africa, the 2000-foot deep, 100 sq. mile
large Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro
volcano at its nadir was probably about
15 000 feet high and would have
resembled present day Mount Meru. Once
the world's highest structure, an
enormous volcano - possibly 25 miles
wide at its base - collapsed inwards about 2-3 million
years ago at a time when large
fractures appeared creating the Eastern
Rift wall.
Today, the crater is home to over 20 000
large mammals. Its rich grassland
caldera is an animal paradise. See some
of the world's largest Elephant, large groups of black-maned Lion,
big herds of plains animals like Zebra
and Wildebeest. The crater is the last
place in Africa where free-ranging Black
Rhino are usually seen by all visitors. |
|
One afternoon Peter will introduce you to a
local Maasai chief who will escort you
on a breathtaking walk through the
area's outstanding hills. The 2 days
and nights will be spent at Tanzania's
most lavish safari camp, Crater Lodge.
Enjoy your own fireplace, stoked by your
personal butler who also keeps the
sherry glasses full and fresh Stilton at
hand. |
Days 8 - 10: Serengeti
Plains
Leave the crater on a
spectacular drive that takes you first
to famous Olduvai Gorge, then overland into the great Serengeti,
the Grande Dame of African wilderness.
For 3 days and nights you'll explore the
southern plains and western hills, where
normally at this time of the year around
2 million Wildebeest, Zebra and a vast
assortment of other plains animals,
congregate to feast on the nutrient
grasses growing with the developing
rains. |
|
There is no other as impressive or dramatic
wildlife spectacle on earth. During
these 3 nights you'll be pampered in a
Luxury Camp set near the migration but
hours and days away from the main
tourist lodges. At times, the entire
veldt will be yours alone. Peter will
also take you to sacred Maasai areas,
where he will convey the drama and
mystery of Maasai history and culture. |
Days 11 & 12: Northern
Serengeti
The Serengeti and
Ngorongoro Conservation Area represent
more than 7 000 sq. miles of some of the finest pristine
wilderness left on earth. Travel from
the southern plains to the far northern
reaches of the park near the Kenyan
border. Here among spectacular kopjes
live noble Maasai very much as they have
for centuries. Peter will take you onto
a private reserve which boasts anaward-winning conservation project that aims to protect important
animal corridors and grazing areas from
overuse and modern development. |
|
Here you'll be able to take some stunning walks among the wild
animals, while learning more about
the proud Maasai and the important role
they are playing in preserving the
African wilderness. The beauty and
solemnity of this area is indescribable
and the perfect way to end a grand
safari. |

returns you to Arusha by noon. You'll be met and
