Morning Flight Nairobi – Lewa Downs (ca. 45min)

Lewa Downs are a privately owned Wildlife Conservancy situated against the dramatic backdrop of the snow-covered massif of Mt Kenya. Lewa offers spectacular scenery, superb game viewing and a wide variety of activities such as game walks and horse riding. With wildlife densities as high as anywhere in Africa, it is possible to see all of Africa's Big Five here, and the conservancy provides a refuge for several endangered species such as Wide Rhinos.

Morning Flight Lewa Downs - Masai Mara (ca. 1 hour)

The Masai Mara – endless seas of golden grass dotted with hesitant shrubs, broken here and there with the ghostly acacia trees and ringed by distant hills, the chocolate Mara river waters with frolicking hippos, immensely rich animal life including countless game and large prides of lions – fulfils the expectations of any visitor searching the African landscapes portrayed in movies such as "Out of Africa". From July to October, this is the sight of one of the most spectacular and dramatic sites on earth - the annual migration of one million wildebeests and 200,000 zebras following the seasonal rains in a quest for the best pastures, finding along the way the crocodile-crowded river.

Accommodation: : Rekero Camp or Basecamp Mara

Zanzibar

Morning Flight Masai Mara – Nairobi (ca. 45min), Afternoon Flight Nairobi - Zanzibar (ca. 1.5 hours)

Stone Town is the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, little changed in the last 200 years. It is a place of wind-ing alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques and grand Arab houses whose original owners vied with each other over the extravagance of their dwellings which is particularly reflected in the brass-studded, carved, wooden doors. You can spend many idle hours and days just wandering through the fascinating labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways.

Dhow Trip Zanzibar – Saadani (4-5 hours)

Saadani is unique for its extraordinary diversity of scenery and wildlife. Beach, bush and river have been thrown together in such a colourful clash of ecosystems that there is nothing to compare with it anywhere on the Eastern Coast of Africa. The Wami River, which passes through the park and empties into the Indian Ocean, hosts a large population of hippos, crocodiles, flamingos, and many large bird species and is a wonderful place for early morning or sunset boat safaris. Elephants are occasionally viewed bathing and playing on Saadani's beach, and sometimes venturing into the crashing surf, which alone makes Saadani one of the most special parks to visit in Tanzania.

Accommodation: The Saadani Safari Lodge or Tent with a View

Speedboat ride Saadani – Bagamoyo(45 min), Road transder to Dar es Saalam (1.5 hours), Afternoon Flight Dar – Selous (40 min)

Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected wildlife reserve, and due to its remote location, it has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s parks.

The Rufiji River is the striking feature of the game reserve and home to a plethora of varied water and bird life. Along its shores, hippos sleep languidly in the mud and sun themselves and crocodiles are common along the riverbanks. Boating safaris offer visitors a chance to see the diverse life along the river up close and walking safaris and fly camping add a sense of adventure to the African experience.

Accommodation: Sand Rivers Selous or Sable Mountain Lodge

Afternoon Flight Selous - Ruaha (40 min)

Ruaha National Park is a remote bastion of spectacular wilderness, undisturbed wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. With herds of more than 10,000 elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species, Ruaha's offers limitless wilderness. The Great Ruaha River meanders through its borders. On its banks, the game viewing is spectacular and boating safaris offer a great alternative to wildlife viewing.
