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.
