DAYS 1 - 8
From Nairobi we cross the Great Rift Valley to the Masai town of Narok and into the Masai Mara Game Reserve, without doubt Kenya's best-known park. From our camp on the edge of the park, enjoy afternoon and morning game drives in pursuit of the Big 5. As the Mara is also in the heart of Masailand, a vast territory extending into Tanzania, you will also see the various villages and red-robed Masai herdsmen in and around the Reserve. From the Mara, we cross the border into Tanzania to Arusha, ‘safari town.’ At the Meserani Snake Park, view a full range of African reptiles and take a guided walk to a local Masai village. Transfer to 4x4 vehicles for a 3-day excursion to the Serengeti National Park, Olduvai Gorge and the Ngorongoro Crater. Seeing the views of the crater from the top, camping out in the bush in the middle of the Serengeti and listening to the sounds of the African night, are all memorable experiences. We return to Arusha to explore the markets before continuing to the Indian Ocean coast.
DAYS 9 - 14
From Arusha drive in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro. After crossing vast tracts of savanna we reach the port city of Dar es Salaam, the leaping off point for Zanzibar. Once on the island, explore the intriguing alleyways, view ancient architecture, and try the fabulous seafood. Stone Town is best explored on foot, but dont forget northern beaches around Nungwi for all your watersports. Back on the mainland, there’s time for a browse in the curio markets before driving via Mikumi National Park to Malawi.
DAYS 15 - 21
Malawi is one of the friendliest countries on tour and home to the third largest fresh water lake on the continent. We travel south along the shore of Lake Malawi stopping at various camps. One stop is at the base of the Livingstonia Plateau where (optionally) you can trek to the Livingstonia Mission. Further south at Kande Beach enjoy the beach, try scuba diving, snorkelling sailing, and horse-back riding. Leaving the lake we cross out of Malawi through Zambia to the capital Lusaka and on to Livingstone.
DAYS 22 - 24
We camp next to the mighty Zambezi River and enjoy a sunset cruise and sundowners. We view the thunderous Victoria Falls from the Mosi-Oa-Tunya (‘smoke that thunders’) National Park. This area is Africa’s adrenaline capital with - white water rafting, bungy jumping, gorge swinging, canoeing, sky-diving. For the more sedate try elephant-back safaris or walking safaris or simply relaxing by the river enjoying the mighty African river. We take time out to visit a nearby local village. For those on our 24 Day tour our arrangements end here.
DAYS 25 - 31
From Livingstone we cross into Botswana and the town of Kasane and Chobe National Park. Enjoy an afternoon on the Chobe River on the delightful fish-eagle cruise. If time allows we have the option of a game drive before moving quickly south, via Nata and Francistown to South Africa and the famous Greater Kruger Area. Here you will have a final opportunity to see the Big 5 in South Africa’s largest and best known wildlife area. Finally, we travel via the Mpumalanga region to Johannesburg where the tour ends.
