SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

DAYS 5, 6 AND 7 • THE LAND OF THE GREAT MIGRATION AND FELINES

Departure in the morning for the Serengeti, considered the most famous national park in the world, the cradle of the Great Migration, where one of the most impressive natural cycles on the planet is renewed every year: tens of thousands of ungulates move, guided by the primordial instinct for survival, in constant search of new pastures. The landscape, dotted with large acacias and Kopjes (ancient rock piles), is the ideal habitat for the big cats. As you move deeper into the heart of the Serengeti, you will understand why the name means 'boundless plain' in the Maasai language. Your safari will continue, thanks to the skill of our guide, to explore the park where there will be no shortage of opportunities for sightings of giraffe and elephant families, large herds of lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and smaller ones such as foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, along with more than 500 species of birds. The game drive will end in the afternoon with a transfer to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight in the park. (Approximate transfer time Ngorongoro Crater•Serengeti: 2 hrs 30 mins)

The next two days will be entirely dedicated to exploring the central Serengeti. In the Seronera Valley, along the banks of the river of the same name, you will have the chance to see leopards climbing the sausage trees, observe the numerous herds of lions on the Moru kopjes and, with a bit of luck, even spot a black rhino. Finally, you can get out of the car at the famous hippo pool and approach it to peer at the many hippos huddled there. The safari will end in the afternoon with a return to the Lodge/Tented Camp for dinner and overnight.
 
Depending on your preferences, you can arrange with your guide some options for structuring the days. You can choose to spend the whole day immersed in the park enjoying a picnic lunch in front of spectacular scenery or return to camp for lunch and some free time between the morning and afternoon safaris.
RUDONDO ISLAND NATIONAL PARK

DAYS 8, 9 AND 10 • CHIMPANZEE ISLAND

In the morning you will be taken to the Seronera Airstrip to catch the flight that will take you to the wild island of Rubondo. (Approximate flight time Seronera•Rubondo: 1 h 10 mins) Once you have landed, you will be met outside the airport by the Lodge staff, who will take you to your accommodation.

The Rubondo Island National Park is the largest island park in the world. The island, covered mainly by dense subtropical forest and surrounded by beaches and rocky inlets, offers one of the wildest and most unspoilt areas in Africa. The park is home to the wild chimpanzee, introduced here in the 1960s to take advantage of the island's remote and protected habitat.

On these days, depending on your needs, you will have the opportunity to participate in activities such as: game drives with an open vehicle, walking safaris in the forest accompanied by an expert guide, and boat safaris to explore the sandy shores of Lake Victoria.

In addition, you will participate in an exciting and extraordinary trek into the island's pristine rainforest to observe chimpanzees in their natural habitat. Sightings of these primates are not guaranteed, however a visit during the dry season, from June to October, offers a better chance of encountering them.

On the last day after lunch you will be taken to the Airstrip to catch your flight to Arusha. (Approximate flight time Rubondo•Arusha: 3 hrs 5 mins) Once you land, you will be met outside the airport by our guide, who will take you to the Lodge in Arusha for dinner and overnight.
ARUSHA

DAY 11 • TRANSFER TO KILIMANJARO AIRPORT
