Safari and Zanzibar Travel

Full Safari Itinerary - Safari & Beach (14 Days / 13 nights)

Day 01:      Arrive in Tanzania

You will be met by Ecological wilderness safari guides after clearing customs and migration formalities and transferred to Ngaresero Mountain Lodge.

In the main house are two suites approximately 55 square meters. These shares the main balcony and the Kilimanjaro view. The Lodge has been adapted from an early colonial farmhouse built at the turn of the century. It has just ten rooms and provides personal service to Lodge residents only. Thick walls, heavy timber beams and period décor impart comfort and charm.

The snows of Kilimanjaro form a splendid backdrop for a sundowner on the verandah and watching the changing colors of the glaciers is an unforgettable experience.

The gardens contain a profusion of trees and flowers, two hundred species of birds have been recorded. Troupes of Sykes and Columbus monkeys inhabit the forest and grounds

Four full days of excitement awaits you as you  depart from the Camp at sunrise in order to capture the dawn activities, and the early morning light.  You  will return to Camp for a late breakfast , and have an opportunity to relax in the Camp – enjoying your natural environment watching a heard of Impala wander not far from the Camp before going for your afternoon game drive

The spacious verandah in front of your room is furnished with comfortable safari chairs and tables - the perfect retreat for a relaxing moment watching a weaver bird building its nest in a nearby Acacia tree, a herd of impala grazing quietly only meters away, or simply relaxing and listening to the sounds of the African bush.

After breakfast drive to Ngorongorro Highlands with picnic Lunches and go straight to The Crater fooor for game drive. Lunch will be a picnic lunch at a site located near a hippo pool. After viewing game in the afternoon you proceed toward the lodge to your lodge.

Nestled onto the rim of the Crater, all in stone and wood construction and overgrown with natural vegetation, the 75 rooms of the lodge become almost unseen among the natural surroundings. They are breathtaking views of the crater from all the rooms.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most spectacular and certainly the most unique game-viewing destination on Earth. A perfectly-formed sunken caldera, ringed by 2000 foot high walls and inhabited by as wide a cross-section of wildlife as lives on the continent of Africa. We will take today to explore this awe-inspiring natural amphitheatre in full, using our 4WD safari-viewing vehicles to full effect in order to investigate every eco-system and pocket of the finest game-viewing destination on the planet. We have a very good chance of spotting the Big Five in a single day during our game drive including the endangered Black Rhino, and the network of tracks allows us a proximity rarely afforded elsewhere on the safari circuit.
