Jewels of Tanzania

Day 1 — Kilimanjaro › Tarangire National Park

On arrival at Kilimanjaro, you will be met and transferred to Nimali Lodge in Tarangire National Park for the next two nights. One of the lesser-known game reserves in Tanzania, it offers a great diversity of wildlife. During the dry season, the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the area, which attracts abundant wildlife.

Day 2 — Tarangire National Park

Morning and afternoon safaris, as well as “sofa safaris” at the lodge where there is a waterhole right in front of camp.

Day 3 — Tarangire National Park › Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Today you will drive to the Ngorongoro region and spend three nights at Gibbs Farm, an idyllic farmhouse set among picturesque grounds. Learn about farm life and enjoy a full-day safari into the Ngorongoro Crater itself.

Day 4 — Ngorongoro Crater

Today you will be taken on a full day safari excursion in the nearly 3-million year-old intact caldera known as the Ngorongoro Crater. This Natural Wonder of the World is home to the highest density of big game wildlife in Africa grazing and living on the fertile land with the most stunning backdrop of the crater walls.

Day 5 — Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Today you have time to enjoy and savour the sanctuary of Gibbs Farm, or enjoy several optional excursions.

Day 6 — Ngorongoro Conservation Area › Lake Manyara › Serengeti National Park

Transfer to the Lake Manyara airstrip and fly to the Serengeti, for a game drive en route to camp. Spend the next three days at the ultimate in luxury camping, Serengeti Under Canvas. A traditional tent-style camp with a comfortable bed and fluffy duvet, big sofas, and a flushing water closet.

Days 7 & 8 — Serengeti National Park

The camp movement is planned to anticipate movements of the Great Migration, bringing you as close as possible to the wildebeest action. Get up close and personal with exceptional resident game year round, big cat sightings, rhino in the north, cheetah sightings in the south and massive elephant and buffalo herds roaming across the vast plains.

Day 9 — Serengeti National Park › Kilimanjaro

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Kilimanjaro where arrangements conclude.

Booking through Fine Travel, you benefit from partners on the ground who have been chosen and tested over many years by our specialist partners — and you deal with one TAANZ-accredited agency in New Zealand.

One consultant, first call to home again

Your Fine Travel consultant looks after your enquiry and your booking from the first conversation to your return, with the operator’s on-the-ground partners behind the journey itself.

Complimentary documentation
