Days 9-13 Olduvai / Serengeti / Arusha At Olduvai, you’ll visit the small but fascinating archaeological site where Mary Leakey discovered the Zinjanthropus skull, then enjoy game viewing en route to our private camp in a secluded section of the Serengeti. Under vast African skies, you’ll witness an age-old wildlife spectacle as enormous herds of plains animals play out a battle of life and death with their predators while migrating across the endless savannas. A steaming cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate is brought to your tent each morning, and you’re up before the sun to search a rich mosaic of habitats for lion, cheetah, and leopard among the gazelle, zebra, hyena, giraffe, and thousands of wildebeest. Our

camp is set just outside of the park, and we are granted easy access to the short grass plains where cheetah are abundant and lion prides have their territory. Exclusive and remote, our private camp features roomy walk-in tents with attached bathrooms and hot showers, and cozy beds made up with linen and a duvet—this is ultimate comfort, WT-style! Depart on Day 13 via Arusha. EXTEND YOUR ADVENTURE • Experience tropical Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches and exotic Swahili culture • Track mountain gorillas on foot in Rwanda’s Parc National des Volcans
