Day 1: Arrival Day - JRO-Sinya

On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be met by your transfer driver who will drive you for about 90 minutes to your hotel in Arusha. Look out for iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru out of your right-hand window on the way if the Mother Nature allow. If you arrive early, there will be time for you to visit a market in town or simply relax by the pool. After a tasty dinner in your hotel, you will spend your first night in Tanzania relaxing before heading off on your safari the following morning.

Day 2:Sinya Conservancy

This morning after breakfast you will be met by your guide and depart by road to Sinya, a 138,000-acre private wildlife conservancy in a remote area in the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Its flood plains, hills, acacia woodland and spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, give life to one of the most beautiful, pristine, wild areas of Northern Tanzania.

This is Maasai land, the arid land of Sinya, one of the few areas in Africa where huge bull elephants more than 50 years old, carrying tusks of considerable size, are regularly seen. Some of these bulls live permanently in the area and others migrate, together with herds of mothers and calves, from Amboseli National Park in Kenya to Sinya in search of water and food. Because of their familiarity with safari vehicles in Amboseli, they let you approach them at very short distances, allowing for excellent photographic opportunities.

Day 3: Sinya Conservancy

This morning after breakfast at sunrise, you will depart on a game drive in the conservancy. Early mornings, when the cloud cover lifts from the snowcapped Mt. Kilimanjaro, the light is perfect for photographing the majestic mountain. You will also visit a local Maasai compound where you are allowed to take photos of the extended families and their way of life.

Return to camp for lunch and some time to relax set out on another game drive, go for a walk escorted by Maasai trackers. If it happens to be a Tuesday, you can also visit the Maasai market where Maasai from miles around bring their cattle, goats, fabric, and other items to sell or trade. Spend your final evening at Sinya with drinks around the campfire, and dinner to celebrate the end of another memorable day.

After a leisurely breakfast at your hotel in Sinya, you will begin your journey to Tarangire National Park via Arusha town.

Day 5: Tarangire National Park

The hilly landscape, with Baobab trees scattered against the blue sky, is breathtaking. Witness the world’s largest concentration of elephants. Herds of up to 300 elephants can be seen around the Tarangire River, drinking or enjoying a mud bath. Apart from elephants, Tarangire is a paradise for bird lovers.

Arrived in Serengeti via Kleins gate in the afternoon – like the way in – this is not a short drive but you are sure to enjoy the unique views.

Day 8: Serengeti National Park

After another tasty breakfast, we proceed to the Central part of Serengeti. This park is well-known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the "big five", named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffaloes, and Rhinos.If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife.

Day 9: Ngorongoro Crater

After another last tasty breakfast with packed lunches in the endless plains of Serengeti we get right on the road back towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Our drive takes us back through the Serengeti via a different route, offering plenty of opportunities to spot the animals that eluded you on day two.

As far as the eye can see, you’ll spot thousands upon thousands of animals in herds; wildebeests and zebras migrating together, tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, the powerful African elephant and the most respected group of animals: the predators. You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself; the lion.

Arrive at Ngorongoro crater approximately at 11:30Am for half day game drive at the crater floor. Lunch can be taken next to a hippo pool and then you will continue your drive looking out for the Big Five, including the rare black rhino while ascending the crater.

Day 10: Lake Eyasi

Start off early with your bushman guide to meet a group of resident Hadzabe people. Enjoy the Hadzabe Tour walking into the bush with the only hunter-gatherers remaining in the East African region. The Hadzabe speak a click-based language and move their encampments with the seasonal movements of the wildlife. Your guide is a member of the group and teaches you more about how they hunt, track wildlife, make fire, and even take honey from bee’s nests before introducing you to his people and explaining a little more about the customs and the way of life.

Day 11: Arusha
