The vast Serengeti beckons as you embark on your safari. Take your first game drive through Lake Manyara National Park, renowned among birders for huge flocks of pink flamingoes, as well as giraffes, baboons, hippos, and elephants.  Arrive in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, populated by an estimated 30,000 large mammals.  Your lodge is on the Ngorongoro Crater rim overlooking the caldera below, an excellent spot for our welcome reception and dinner.

Thought by some to be Africa's original “Garden of Eden,” Ngorongoro Crater is one of the largest calderas in the world and contains a variety of ecosystems and an astounding concentration of birds and animals. Your four-wheel drive vehicle provides an excellent mobile viewing platform when encountering massive herds of zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles. This area affords an opportunity to spot the Big Five – elephant, leopard, lion, buffalo, and rhinoceros. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater. [B,L,D]

Study the history of mankind at Olduvai Gorge, where archaeologists Louis and Mary Leakey discovered the fossilized remains of the earliest known man, an estimated 1.8 million years old.

After breakfast, your morning and afternoon game drives take you into the vast Serengeti savanna. Sightings could include lions, zebras, hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, black rhinoceros, hippos, buffaloes, jackals, gazelles, and giraffes.

Leave Tanzania and the Serengeti behind as you fly to Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital city, for the start of your Kenya safari. A sightseeing tour includes an enchanting visit to the Karen Blixen House and Museum, where much of Out of Africa was filmed. You'll have a chance to greet the Rothschild giraffes at the Giraffe Centre on the property, which is now a self-sustaining natural sanctuary for these endearing animals. [B,L,D]

Fly off to yet another African world on your Kenya safari today as you journey to the rather desert-like landscape of the Samburu Reserve in northern Kenya. A game drive offering the opportunity to spot some of the local residents in their natural habitats follows your arrival at the lodge for a two-night stay. [B,L,D]

Your Kenya safari continues as you embark on early morning and late afternoon game drives. Samburu National Reserve residents include storks, hippos, leopards, gazelle, and crocodiles. If you're lucky, you could spot some of Africa's rarest game, such as the long-necked gerenuk antelope, the Somali ostrich, the shy oryx beisa, and the reticulated giraffe. And keep an eye out for the Grevy's zebra, the largest of the zebras found only in northern Kenya. It is widely believed that Grevy's zebra was the “hippotigris” of the ancient Roman circus. [B,L,D]

Today will be one that you'll always remember as you arise before dawn to board a hot air balloon and float over the awakening plains below as the sun rises. When you land, a special champagne breakfast will be awaiting you right there in the bush spectacular isn't quite strong enough a word to describe such an experience! Back on the ground, look for lions, warthogs, gazelles and giraffes and the other animals you've come to love during your final game drive this afternoon. [B,L,D]
