Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa (weather permitting). We visit the Meserani Snake Park and a Masai Museum. Arusha is the Safari Capital of Tanzania and it is here that we make preparations for a Safari Experience of a lifetime. Evening to be spent camping in Arusha. (BLD)

Day 7 - 9 Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater

Our time is spent taking part in the various optional Safari activities that the world famous Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater has to offer. These Parks offer some of the best game viewing in Africa and will certainly be an experience of a lifetime. All excursions are conducted in vehicles specifically designed for Safaris and allow for the best photographic opportunities. It is more than just a game viewing experience as we also witness the traditional Masai herdsman, herding their livestock amongst the wild game. Truly, an adventure never to be forgotten! Clients not wanting to participate in the Safari activities have ample opportunity to take in the local culture and other activities in and around Arusha. (B on day 7 only)

We depart from the Serengeti and return to Arusha in the late afternoon. Evening to be spent reminising about our Safari experiences around the campfire. (D)

Day 11 Nairobi (Kenya)
