5 days program

Day 1: Arusha - Kilimanjaro
We will pick you up from your hotel and drive to a private game reserve at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa and one of the continent’s magnificent sights. You will have the opportunity for a nature walk or horse ride. If you decide on the horse ride, you will be assigned to a horse that matches your size and skill. Anyone is welcome, from complete beginners to experienced riders of any age. You will go on a ride following the boundary of the farm through grass and bush land which is used for grazing horses and cattle. Plenty of wild animals inhabit the area. These include Sykes monkeys, yellow baboons, duikers, bushbucks, reedbucks and bush pigs as well as nocturnal animals like aardvarks, porcupines and jackals.
Dinner and overnight in campsite or lodge.

Day 2: Kilimanjaro – Manyara
In the morning we will drive to Manyara National Park. This beautiful park with its lush vegetation and tropical forests of giant fig and mahogany trees takes its name from the Maasai word for "euphorbia tirucalli", a bush which is used to make a thorny hedge to protect their cattle. Elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra and a variety of antelope inhabit the park, together with a variety of monkeys and a large population of hippos. If you are lucky you may see the Manyara lions, well known for their tree climbing habits, lazily resting on the branches of an "Acacia tortilis" tree. The birdlife is also abundant, with flamingos, pelicans, hornbills and plenty of forest species.
Afternoon game drive.
Dinner and night in camping or lodge.

Day 3: Manyara - Ngorongoro
Spend another morning game driving in the park.
In the afternoon we will drive to Ngorongoro conservation area, the "eighth wonder of the world", the largest unbroken volcanic crater on earth. We will check in at the campsite or lodge, from where you will have a stunning view of the crater.
Dinner and overnight in campsite or lodge.

Day 4: Ngorongoro
At sunrise you will start descending the crater's unbroken caldera which shelters one of the largest concentrations of wildlife in the world. The floor of this collapsed volcano spreads for 102 square miles and the walls are 600 metres high - a truly awesome sight. The crater floor is a virtual "Noah's Ark", inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the endangered black rhino. The crater contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake complete with flamingos, a forest and open plains.
Around 9am you will have a stop at the crater picnic site near the hippo pool for breakfast. Then you will continue with game viewing till around 1pm when you will start to ascend the crater. Lunch, dinner and overnight at the lodge or campsite.


Day 5: Ngorongoro – Arusha
After breakfast we will drive to Oldovai Gorge museum to look for prehistoric traces of humans. Oldovai is the famous archaeological site where the Leakeys discovered the remains of Australopithecus, Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus, bringing crucial understanding to the study of the evolution of the human species. At lunch time you will have the opportunity to visit a local market and interact with the locals, visit the Masai museum or snake centre, or go to a Masai village to learn about their way of life.
In the afternoon drive back to Arusha
