Flufftail safari

|
Depart London Heathrow on your scheduled overnight flight with British Airways to Dar es Salaam. |
Arrive at Dar es Salaam early in the morning, where you will connect straight onto a light flight to Arusha. Here you will be met by you own private superior guide and 4x4 safari vehicle with a pop-top roof. Together you drive out of Arusha – where the town slowly gives way to rural country side. Pass Maasai herding their cattle on the road side and people carrying produce to the market, on your way to… |
| Gibb's Farm (full board & activities) |
| Spend one of your full days here in the beautiful Lake Manyara National Park which sits below the spectacular Great Rift Valley Escarpment. On the road, pass huge troops of baboons that this park is famous for before arriving at the vast alkaline Lake Manyara. Spot groups of hippos and vast numbers of great white pelicans, then look out for the tree-climbing lions in the forests. (Though rare – this isn't unique to Lake Manyara as often claimed) On your second full day – drive to the Ngorongoro Crater - which has extraordinary numbers of game and spectacular scenery. |
Leave Gibb's Farm after an early breakfast and drive past the Crater rim and on to Serengeti National Park. During you time here, stay in one of the smart semi-permanent camps that moves twice a year to optimise its location for the the great migration. Between December and March, you would stay around the Ndutu area and then between June and November you would be located close to Seronera, whilst staying at… |
| Olakira Camp (full board & activities) |
| With your own private vehicle and guide – you have the flexibility to arrange your days as you wish. Either head out on an all day safari – exploring far from camp and stopping when you feel like it for a picnic lunch. Or enjoy a more leisurely day, with a morning drive and then an afternoon drive – spending the heat of the day in camp. |
Depart in the morning with a packed lunch, and drive at leisure through the Serengeti. Few vehicles venture this far north, so you can enjoy real wilderness and might find that you have driven for hours without seeing anyone else. In August, the wildebeest migration will usually be passing through this area – and as you drive through you will see many herds grazing, before arriving at…. |
| Sayari Camp (full board & activities) |
| Sayari Camp is the most northerly camp in the Serengeti – for many its remoteness is its real draw. This luxury tented camp near to the Mara border is only a moments drive away from the Mara River. Form about August through to October the herds are crossing this great river, and it is a time of frenzied excitement. Stay here to see the migration, with very few other people around. |
|
After bidding farewell to Sayari you will be driven to a nearby airstrip to catch a light flight back to Arusha. From here, either continue on to one of our beach trips in Zanzibar, Pemba, Ras Kutani or the Mafia Archipelago, or transfer across to Kilimanjaro Airport by private car. Here you will connect with your flight to Nairobi and then meet your British Airways overnight flight back to London. |
|
Arrive back in London early in the morning having thoroughly enjoyed a memorable safari, with plenty of time to make the final leg of your journey home. |
