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.
