9 Day Tanzania Walking Safari

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 you arrive early, there will be time for you to spend the afternoon bird watching in the garden, enjoy a coffee tasting tour in a nearby estate, 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. Meals on request. Overnight: African Tulip Hotel

After breakfast, your driver will transfer you to Ngorongoro crater as your first stop in this itinerary. For the next few days, you will stay at Entamanu Ngorongoro. The camp is uniquely off the beaten track but right on the Crater rim, and has exceptional views both down into Ngorongoro Crater from one side (sunrise), and out over the Serengeti from the other (perfect for sundowners). This is the wild side of the Crater where the exclusivity and views are unsurpassed. Entamanu's the only place in the world where you can see the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti plains from the same spot. This unique walk out of camp is an un-paralleled opportunity to connect the two with your own footsteps. Dinner and Overnight.

Start early with coffee, then jump aborad for a 30-minute drive to your starting point. You'll wind your way along ancient cattle trails through high altitude meadows, past picturesque Maasai Bomas and Acacia woodlands, revealing stunning views of Lemakarot Mountains as you gradually descend to the endless plains of the Serengeti. Navigated in the company of your Maasai guides whose knowledge of this part of the world is steeped in their DNA. Dinner and overnight: Serengeti Safari Camp

The gloriousness of the green season is hard to match in this part of the world. Rains in the southern Serengeti have drawn the wildebeest south in search of fresh grazing on the nutrient rich short grass plains. This is where the wildebeest would love to call home, and where a million wildebeest start their life every year. Enjoy walks among the wildebeest and zebra all under the care of your experienced guides and armed rangers.

Today, depart from camp for the Ndutu Airstrip and take off for northern Serengeti. You'll be flying the length of the Serengeti National Park so keep a sharp eye out for a birds' eye view of this iconic wilderness. You'll suddenly appreciate the sheer scale of the seemingly never ending plains. Dinner and overnight at Lamai Serengeti

Explore the Lamai area- slow down and get away from the crowds and you will witness another side of the Serengeti. Unlike the southern plains of the Serengeti that dry out, forcing all but the hardiest of species to leave, this area remains lush and green. There's a collective sigh of relief from the resident game when the one and a half million migrating wildebeest - and the madness that attends them - leave town for a few months. And the resident game at Lamai Serengeti is spectacular. Why not venture out on foot to explore the winding river lines or rocky outcrops. This is a magical time to explore this part of the Serengeti.

This morning, transfer to the nearest airstrip for your flight out back to Arusha/ Kilimanjaro for onward arrangements
