Imagine your own private safari camps on game-rich

savannas far from the lodge circuit! We’ll explore the

legendary Serengeti, land of famed

migratory herds and their predators,

and Tarangire National Park, with its

epic baobab woodlands and river

that attracts big herds of elephants

year-round. Our private camps are in

gorgeous locations we select for their

incredible game viewing and where

you can enjoy activities not possible

elsewhere: exciting game walks with

your tracker guides, night game drives,

off-road travel, and cultural encounters

with the Masai. A day in the stunning

wildlife amphitheater of Ngorongoro Crater, a sunset

walk topped by a glass of champagne, nights by the

campfire with a billion stars overhead—this is the way

safari was meant to be.

(December-March “Green Season” itineraries)

Days 1-5

Arusha / Serengeti

During these five unforgettable

days, we enjoy the privilege of exploring the Serengeti by

4WD vehicle from our own private camp in a secluded section

of Serengeti National Park, far from the lodges and other park

facilities. Our special location gives us access to a rich mosaic

of habitats crisscrossed by the rivers

that run through this world-famous

preserve. Dawn and late-afternoon

game drives bring us from the

open plains and rock

kopjes

to river

habitats for maximum wildlife

experiences. Our atmospheric camp

offers roomy walk-in tents with

attached bathrooms and hot showers,

and cozy beds made up with linens

and a duvet—this is safari comfort,

WT style!

Days 6-8

Lake Manyara /

Ngorongoro Crater

At Olduvai, we

visit the fascinating archaeological

site where Mary Leakey discovered

the Zinjanthropus skull, then

explore lush Lake Manyara National

Park, home to tree-climbing lions

and troops of baboons and blue

monkeys. Ngorongoro Crater’s

beauty must be seen to be believed:

on the crater’s 105-square-mile

grassy floor lives Africa’s largest

permanent concentration of

wildlife in a phenomenally scenic

setting. Our day on the crater

floor brings us a magnificent

array of wildlife, including the

chance to see black rhino.
