Set out for a two-night safari to Ngorongoro Crater, once a gigantic volcano and today regarded as the largest intact caldera in the world where wildlife thrives. Stop en route for a visit at an Isoitik Village. Here, you'll have an opportunity to participate in a medicine walk and learn how the Masai people use the local vegetation for various medicinal cures. You'll also have the opportunity to visit a school followed by lunch in the bush.
Continue on to your small, intimate lodge and spa set above a valley with stunning views, for a two-night stay. The surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to some 30,000 large mammals. Join us for a welcome reception and dinner at the lodge. Stay Two Nights: Kitela Lodge (B/L/D)
In Maasai, the word Serengeti means "the place where the land moves on forever." See why when you fly to Serengeti National Park this morning where over a million wildebeest and some 200,000 zebras make a trek from the southern Serengeti to the Masai Mara and back again every year. In spite of the dangers they face from crocodiles or weather conditions, they are driven by a deeply held instinct to constantly search for food and water.
Their annual trek takes them through a variety of parks, reserves and protected areas with different habitats. Check into your semi permanent mobile camp for a memorable three-night stay in the heart of the park, then join an expert tracker for an eye-opening afternoon game drive into the Serengeti wilderness. Dinner is served back at the camp this evening. Stay Three Nights: Legendary Serengeti Mobile Camp (B/L/D)
Tour ends: Nairobi International Airport. Depart your tented camp after breakfast for a flight to Nairobi; we've reserved day rooms before your flight home at Fairmont, The Norfolk in Nairobi, or Hemingways Nairobi Karen. The quiet suburb of Karen is popularly believed to have been named for the Danish-born writer Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), whose famous colonial memoir Out of Africa recounts the years she spent living on and managing the coffee farm that once occupied this land.
Have dinner at the hotel prior to your included transfer from either hotel to Nairobi International Airport; you should allow three hours for flight check-in at the airport. (B/L/D)
