|
 |
|
Day :- 3
Morning
and afternoon game drives. All meals and overnight at Samburu Intrepids Club or similar.
The Reserve is very scenic, with craggy hills and everywhere Doum
palms following the water courses. Some unusual animal species can be found
here; the reticulated giraffe, Oryx, Lesser Kudu, Grevy's zebra, and the
Gerenuk, known as the "giraffe gazelle".
Most of the game viewing takes place
around the forests along the river, and this is a good place to spot the elusive
Leopard.

Day 4:-
Breakfast
at the club. Morning transfer to the airstrip for the Air Kenya flight to the
Masai Mara. On arrival at the airstrip, met and transferred to Little Governors
Camp. Afternoon game drive.
The Masai Mara Reserve is one of
Africa's best known wildlife areas, and is part of the Serengeti ecosystem.
A
land of undulating hills and rolling grasslands it supports a large animal
population. Even a casual visitor is treated to the sight of lions in prides
sometimes numbering more than thirty beasts with a handsome black-maned male in
dominance; a cheetah at great speed runs down its prey; a Leopard in the lower
branches with its kill.
Another attraction of staying in Little
Governor's is that it is situated away from most other camps and lodges, and
game drives tend to avoid other parts of the reserve which can, at times, be
relatively crowded. Dinner and overnight at Little Governors Camp or Il Moran*
(* Surcharges may apply). |
 |
|
Day 5:-
Morning and afternoon game drives.
In the Mara river there are crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks , and
hippos playing in the water.
Elephant, Cape buffalo, giraffe,
Topi, gazelle are all in abundance, and during the months of July to September
the great migration of wildebeest and zebras spill over from the Serengeti. T
he sight of these beasts legging it
across the Mara River, avoiding both the crocodiles in the river, and the
predators harassing them from behind is amazing, and the topic of some of the
most spectacular photography ever seen.
All meals and overnight at
Little Governors Camp or Il Moran* (* Surcharges may apply).

Day 7:-
Morning drive to Gibbs Farm. Pay a
visit to the IRAQW Tribespeople, and view their manyattas (homes) and lifestyle. After lunch you will continue onwards to the Ngorongoro
Conservation area. "It is impossible to give a
fair description of the size and beauty of the Crater, for there is nothing with
which one can compare it. It is one of the Wonders of the World." This is how the Crater is described by Bernard Grzimek
in his classic "Serengeti Shall Not Die".
The area is given over to
Wildlife Conservation and comprises 8300 square kilometers of which the
Crater is 260 square kilometers, and consists of grasslands, swamps,
forests, rivers, and even an arid area of shifting dunes. The Crater supports a year round resident population of varied wildlife ,
and as the game is concentrated into a relatively small area you are likely
to see Lion, Elephant, Hyaena, Jackal, Cheetah, the very rare Black Rhino,
primates and many more.
The area is also
home to the proud and colorful Masai tribe.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
Day 8:-
Breakfast at the
lodge. Morning descent into the Crater with picnic lunches for a full day tour.
Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. (If in future the Ngorongoro
Conservation authority may limit the crater tour to 6 hours , and should they we
will advise you ) |
 |
|
Day 9:-
Breakfast
at the lodge. Leave after breakfast and drive
via Ol Duvai Gorge to the Serengeti National Park, arriving for lunch and an
afternoon game drive. The Gorge is about 50 kilometers long and in some places
90 meters deep.
Commonly heralded as the "Cradle of Mankind" it was
made famous by the discovery in 1959 of the remains of early man. Your stop
includes a visit to the small museum overlooking the Gorge.
Lunch at Serengeti Serena Lodge. Afternoon
game drive and overnight at Serengeti Serena Lodge.

 |
|
Day 10:-
Morning and afternoon game
drives. The Serengeti National Park is one of the most popular and spectacular
game areas in East Africa, covering an area of 14,765 square kilometers, teaming
with game.
A particular feature of the Serengeti is the annual migration of the
wildebeest and zebra herds. Each year, after the traditional "short" rains in
November the migration starts when the herds amass in their thousands on the
plains below the Ngorongoro highlands.
During February they move north and
west following the rains and the new grasslands, and they start to move into the
Masai Mara in July. In October they move back to Tanzania. This annual
phenomenon involves more than 1.5 million animals, including the lion and other
predators who follow the herds for easy pickings.
The whole process affects the
lives of thousands of other species who rely on the passage of the migration for
their survival, even the insects, not to mention the trees and plants which rely
on the droppings for their fertilization. All meals and overnight at Serengeti
Serena Lodge.
