Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
Day 1: Arrive Arusha Meet with our Guide in the airport and then transferred
to the Lodge/ Hotel in Arusha town.
Day 2: Arusha – Serengeti Via Olduvai Gorge. After breakfast start your journey to Serengeti
Via Olduvai Gorge. In olduvai you will meet with the
one of the Deputies of Antiquities, who will explain
to you what has been done and what continues to happen.
The Gorge was discovered accidentally by a German
butterfly collector, Professor Kattwinkle, in 1911,
but it was not until 1959 that Dr. Mary Leakey unearthed
the Zinj skull believed to be 1.8 million years old.
Enjoy your picnic lunch and proceed to Serengeti for
Dinner and overnight at the lodge in Seronera.
Day 3: Serengeti National Park Early break fast then go for full day game drive
depending with the location of the Migration lunch
at the lodge and proceed with the afternoon game drive.
Overnight at your lodge with all meals inclusive.
Serengeti National Park is Classified as one of the
main sites of the World Heritage by the UNESCO, Serengeti
is the largest National Park of Tanzania (5,700 square
miles), the oldest (created in 1951), and with good
reason the most famous of Eastern Africa. His name
comes from Masaļ dialect, meaning "endless plains".
Serengeti savannahs, forests and immense plains, criss-crossed
by many rivers with very fertile banks, accommodate
the largest herds of herbivores of our planet: 1,5
million gnus, 400,000 zebras, 200,000 Thomson gazelles,
which yearly migrations to water holes, followed by
their predators, offer one of the most impressive
scene of the world. Serengeti also accommodate immense
herds of buffaloes, elephants and giraffes, bubals,
imapalas and Grant gazelles, hippos.
Predators, drawn by these millions of herbivores,
find there a perfect hunting land: lions (about 3,000
in the Park), leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas,
and smaller predators like servals, are the lords
of savannah and acacias woods. The safari you make
there in special sun roofs Land-Rovers, one of the
most beautiful one can make in Africa, brings you
as close as possible of the animals, deep in steppes
and savannas.
Day 4: Serengeti National Park – Ngorongoro
Conservation Area Proceed with the half day game viewing in Serengeti
National Park then Back to the Lodge for Lunch and
en-route to Ngrongoro for Dinner and overnight at
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge.
Ngorongoro Sopa lodge is perched on the rim of the
crater and surrounded with lash tropical vegetation.
While at the lodge there is a magnificent view of
the Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater After breakfast, descend into the crater for a
half day game viewing. A picnic lunch will be taken
on the crater floor. The crater supports up to 25,000
large mammals. Grazers dominate: zebra, wildebeest
– accounting for almost half the animals –
gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and wart hog.
Giraffe, for example, stay away because there is insufficient
food at tree level; topi because they compete directly
with wildebeest. An odd feature of the crater elephants
is that they are almost exclusively bulls. Breeding
herds – comprising large numbers of females
and young with a few attendant older males –
are probably unable to find sufficient quality food
in the crater. Ngorongoro has carnivores in quantity,
drawn by the large herds of prey animals. It has the
most dense population of large predators, mainly lion
– about 100 – and more than 400 spotted
hyena, living in eight clans of up to eighty individuals.
Both lions and hyenas will scavenge from each other,
depending on weight of numbers and of course, hunger.
In the afternoon depart for Arusha and spend your
night at Impala Hotel. In the following day you will
be transferred to the airport of to the shuttle stage
for your bus to Nairobi.
