Sample Itinerary-Create Your Own Private Customized Itinerary

Day 1 — Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Arrive Kilimanjaro. Transfer to your hotel in Arusha, Tanzania. Lodging: Onsea House

Day 2 & 3 — Tarangire National Park
Depart Arusha on your 35-minute charter flight to the Tarangire National Park. On arrival your camp representative will meet you and drive you to camp. Enjoy off-road game drives, safari walks, and night drives in the park for two days, where you’ll encounter herds of elephant and some of the most spectacular birding in Africa. Lodging: Oliver’s Camp

Day 4 & 5 — Ngorongoro Crater
Depart for a game drive with your final destination of Lake Manyara National Park, an environmentally diverse stage for a huge variety of exciting animals, including famous tree-climbing lions. Arrive late afternoon at the Plantation Lodge. The next day, enjoy a full-day game drive on the Crater floor, one of the most predator-rich areas in all of Africa. Lodging: Plantation Lodge

Day 6 & 7 — Serengeti National Park
Depending on the location of the wildebeest migration, either drive or fly to the Serengeti National Park. Your tented camp travels within the Serengeti National Park and surrounding area, where densities of animals are mostly higher, and the chance of seeing large predators is much greater. It's the base for exciting game drives - conquering the landscapes and absorbing the sheer hugeness of it all. Daily adventures are yours to plan with your own guide to take you into the midst of the herds. While you can head off from dawn to dusk on your own wandering migration expeditions, the small camp is sociable because it's shared - with just 12 guests staying in classic East African tented bush style. Lodging: Olakira Camp

Day 8 — Return flight
Depart with picnic lunch from the Serengeti on a charter flight to Kilimanjaro. Enjoy a day room at the KIA Lodge before your international flight home.
