    Our safari driver was wonderful. We liked his style of not overloading us with information and talking all the time, but he was so observant and could answer all of our questions.

    I am very happy I chose Serengeti Pride Safaris and feel that we got a personalized service few other outfitters would provide.  (Regarding lodges) loved each one and loved that they were all different with their own character. Exceeded my expectations.  (Regarding Kilimanjaro) great crew, roomy tents, and best of all our own toilet tent!  Visiting the school and Cradle of Love (orphanage) was one of the highlights of the trip!

    If anyone I know wants to go on this trip (Kilimanjaro climb and safari), I will tell them not to go with anyone but you guys.  When we describe our experience... we tell people that we would not have changed anything.  The itinerary that you put together was perfect... all of our accomodations were great... you guys are the best!!

Itinerary


Please note during certain times of year Serengeti National Park will be visited rather than Tarangire National Park.  This is generally late December through March when the wildebeest migration is expected in the southern Serengeti.

Safari Day 1:  We'll drive about 2-3 hours to Tarangire National Park, a famous dry season game park that is great this time of year.  Enjoy your first game drive in safari vehicles whose tops can be opened for better viewing.  Picnic lunch in the park.  Tarangire is a famous dry-season wildlife location, because many animals gather around the water sources – usually including large herds of elephant.  Overnight at a permanent tented camp that has very comfortable tents with beds, running hot & cold water, etc, or similar lodgings 


Safari Day 2:  In the cool morning we’ll set off on a nature walk with a local Maasai guide to explore the area near camp.  Visit a Maasai boma (village) for your first insight into the life of this colorful tribe.  Set out on another game drive in Tarangire National Park to enjoy the usually abundant wildlife.  Overnight at the same camp/lodge.


Safari Day 3:  Drive 2-3 hours to the Karatu village area.  Along the way we will stop for a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park.  Lake Manyara is home to many types of animals including the famous tree-climbing lions, and is well known for its birdlife.  Each of the parks we visit on this safari is its own unique ecosystem.  Overnight at a lodge in Karatu.


Safari Day 4:  We have an early start for today’s big adventure.  The drive up the Ngorongoro Highlands to Ngorongoro Crater’s Rim is an adventure in itself.  Animals are often spotted along the way –wildlife as well as the herds of cows, goats and sheep that the local Maasai pastoralists herd right next to the wildlife.  Often you can spot Maasai herders from far away as their colorful robes contrast with the green grass around them.  Our safari vehicles descend the narrow road down into the Ngorongoro Crater to explore the crater floor.  There are open plains, lakes, and small forests in this self-contained ecosystem.  The Crater is world-famous, and for good reason!  Many animals can be seen here year-round, including the elusive Rhino.  On our return from the Crater, we’ll visit a Maasai "boma" (village) to learn more about this traditional cattle-herding, polygamous culture.  Overnight at the same lodge in Karatu.

Safari Day 5:  Relaxed awakening and departure today, to prepare you for your long journey home.  Morning group walk around the lodge, village and/or nearby coffee plantation.  On the way back toward the airport, stop in a colorful village market for gifts and shopping in Mto wa Mbu.  Picnic lunch along the way.  Transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for afternoon or evening flights home.
