Itinerary Snapshot
DAY 1:
On arrival to Kilimanjaro International Airport, our dedicated Guest Representative welcomes our guests to Tanzania. Each guest is chauffeured to Arusha Coffee Lodge, one hour’s drive from Kilimanjaro itself. A handful of female tourism learners will join the welcoming process, to enhance their training in tourism , and this forms part of their growth into tourism careers, formerly from rural villages with zero scope for growth , and now going through a process of empowerment and upliftment thanks to tourism scholarships funded by our local agency.
DAY 2:
On landing at Tarangire airstrip, our SkySafari Guests are met by the Tarangire Treetops Guide. The transfer to Tarangire Treetops includes a fascinating game-drive through the famed Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania. Tarangire is a dramatically beautiful and diverse eco system, boasting one of the largest concentrations of elephant in East Africa. These mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry. The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.
DAY 3:
Morning and afternoon safari experiences, and discussions around anti poaching programs that have been designed to move people from using animals as a quick finite resource to poach for either usage as bush meat, or sale of ivory or skins, to a more wholesome long term view of the fragile natural resources that need to be cared for, to enable tourism to continue. A fascinating process of moving from taking to conserving, from destroying to caring for the environment in a stewardship form of thinking.
DAY 4:
After breakfast, we will take a short transfer west to Manyara and then on to the highlands lying above the breath taking Ngorongoro Conservation Area within the 1,500 acre Shangri-La Coffee estate, The Manor at Ngorongoro is a one-of-a-kind experience. African hospitality fused with old world Afro-European architecture and décor embraces you in luxuriant style surrounded by the natural splendour of the Tanzanian highlands and the world heritage site: The Ngorongoro Crater. Standing on the edge and taking in the vast beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience that will remain forever with many visitors. The view is rivalled only by the wildlife spectacle that awaits on the floor of the crater, including the Big 5. The result of a volcanic eruption 2-3 Million years ago, the caldera floor covers 64,000 acres and encompasses open grassy plains, acacia thickets, riverine forest, and fresh and soda lakes.
DAY 5:
Today we will descend into the Ngorongoro crater for a full day safari and luxury picnic experience. Return to the highlands in the late afternoon for a lovely dinner and cooler temperature than down in the valleys of the crater savanna lands. After this we will transfer to the Johannesburg international airport ( 30 minutes away) for your evening flight back to Israel.
Day 6:
Fly north into the amazing Serengeti. Depending on the time of year, and the movement of the animals , we will stay either in the north, In Serengeti Migration camp or in the south in Serengeti Pioneer camp. Endless grassy plains meet the the endless blue skies in this world-famous wildlife destination. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981, Tanzania’s oldest national park has attracted and inspired naturalists, filmmakers, writers, conservationists and tourists for many years with its abundance of wildlife and playing host to one of nature’s greatest spectacles, the Great Migration.
Day 7:
The advantage of being in either of the two migration regions, is we will use this day, to head in the direction of the best sightings of larger herds , and/or predators in the region for either a full day out on safari tracking the animals, or a half day, and returning to base for lunch, and then heading out again in the mid afternoon.
Day 8:
