DESCRIPTION:

Journey into the heart of East Africa. Visit Africa in February, when immense migratory herds of wildebeest and zebra congregate on the Serengeti’s short-grass plains, feeding and calving. Our adventure begins on the slopes of Mout Meru, walking through the village of Mulala learning about the rural lives of Tanzanians. Continue to Tarangire National Park, world-renowned for its especially large elephant population, and head to the lush Ngorongoro Crater, a massive caldera inhabited by giraffe, elephant, and black-maned lion. Spend a night at enchanting Gibb’s Farm, a working coffee plantation surrounded by lush gardens. Also visit Olduvai Gorge, the site of the Leaky family’s remarkable discoveries. The journey concludes in the Serengeti, for days amidst this incredible untamed wilderness where lion, cheetah, warthog, and hoofed animals roam. Enjoy time in comfortable tented camps and small lodges, chosen for their proximity to the seasonal concentrations of wildlife and uniquely African feel.

CONSIDER:

Do you prefer luxury hotels or high-end tents? Or more basic and less costly accommodations? How about staying in a tree house? Would you like to go for walks or stick to vehicles? Think about a private dinner under the stars in the wilderness - its unforgettable!

OPTIONAL EXTENSIONS & ADD-ONS:

Consider a hot-air balloon flight over the Serengeti. Extend to the island of Zanzibar.
