Overview

The “Kusini (The Calving Speciality)” package gives a great chance to enjoy a nine-day safari filled with breathtaking wildlife moments. Beginning in Arusha, the journey leads to the renowned Serengeti, where the plains stretch endlessly, and wildlife flourishes. Over two days in Central Serengeti, you’ll witness herds of wildebeest and zebras moving in search of fresh grazing lands, with predators like lions and leopards not far behind.

A visit to Olduvai Gorge adds a historical touch to the Tanzania Safari experience. The adventure continues to Ndutu, where the calving season unfolds. Vast numbers of wildebeest give birth, and young calves fill the plains, creating a dramatic scene as predators like cheetahs and lions hunt.

Ngorongoro Crater’s majestic landscape awaits next, offering a chance to explore a unique ecosystem where wildlife and Maasai culture coexist. Conclude your trip with a scenic drive back to Arusha, or extend your journey with a beach holiday.

Tour Plan

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) which is about 50Km away from Arusha city. You will be met by your Safari guide, who will then take you to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Today you will head to THE SERENGETI (Africa’s leading national park for four consecutive years 2019-2022). Serengeti means “endless plains” in Ki-Maasai. Drive through the East African Escarpment into the Ngorongoro Highlands, and stop along the way at Olduvai Gorge.

Located between Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi, the gorge is an archeological site of immense importance, before finally descending 300ft into the volcanic Serengeti plains, your home for the next two nights. Enjoy your first game drive into Central Serengeti with sumptuous lunch hampers prepared in a special home kitchen just for you.

 Follow the daily movements of the herds in their search for fresh grazing, the predators abound and search for those secretive species, like leopards, as well as the more visible species, like lions in these two days.

Expect to see frequent kills and also experience the assemblage of peripheral animals such as vultures, jackals and hyenas who wait patiently to claim their share of this abundance, and so much more at your discretion and for your eyes to capture.

Add a balloon safari over the Serengeti for an extraordinary experience.

An early morning departure will take you from Central to the Southern part of Serengeti /Ngorongoro conservation area known as Ndutu. In the southern Serengeti ecosystem, the soil is regularly renewed by volcanic ash, producing some of the richest grassland in East Africa.It is in this area that the wildebeest give birth to their calves as the rich grass helps them produce sufficient milk. Game drives on the endless plains at your discretion while driving through the Kopjes towards Naabi hill gate, for dinner at your accommodation.

Begin the second day in Ndutu with an early morning game drive for a fantastic experience, as you witness millions of wildebeest scattered in the plains for as far as your eye can see. It is a phenomenal spectacle. Thousands upon thousands of very young calves and foals are interspersed among the throng of adult wildebeest and Zebras. Large prides of lions stalk these herds while sleek cheetahs’ prey on the accompanying gazelles and impalas.

At sunrise you may encounter various species of animals grazing in the golden morning light where predators are known to be at large. Cheetahs are prompt to be spotted on the plains in the morning when temperatures are not too high. After a memorable morning drive, you will return to your lodge for lunch and enjoy some downtime. After your afternoon tea, you have the option to participate in a second game drive of the day to explore the vastness of the Ndutu terrain or relax at the Lodge.

Spend the third day in Ndutu as per your interests with game drives and further explorations. Relax, have fun and enjoy the wilderness.

After a hearty breakfast, you will head to the highlands of the Ngorongoro crater gaining your first views of this incredible natural wonder. The Ngorongoro Conservation area is a pioneering experiment where the indigenous people (the Masai), their livestock and the wildlife co-exist and share the same protected habitat.

It is not unusual to see the Masai people grazing their herds in the morning or afternoon in the vicinity of the crater. You may spend the afternoon visiting and experiencing the indigenous masai culture by visiting their Bomas, or you may opt to trek to the Empakai Crater with a trained and experienced ranger. Dinner and overnight on the Crater rim.

At the dawn of the following day You descend into the caldera for a day of game viewing taking a picnic hamper to enjoy on the crater floor. The stunning spectacle of this Unesco World Heritage site, with its steep walls falling some 610m to the floor, is undoubtedly one of the highlights of a safari in Tanzania.

The crater floor is home to thousands of plain animals, including the rare black rhino. The number of resident black rhinos is increasing, so you may be lucky to see some of them against the spectacular backdrop of the caldera’s cliff face.

Add a bush lunch in a private picnic site on the crater floor for an extraordinary experience.

Add a trekking experience in to the Empakai Crater.

After a hearty breakfast, you will head to the highlands of the Ngorongoro crater gaining your first views of this incredible natural wonder. The Ngorongoro Conservation area is a pioneering experiment where the indigenous people (the Masai), their livestock and the wildlife co-exist and share the same protected habitat.

A four-hour drive will take you back to Arusha, from where you will be transferred to Kilimanjaro international airport for your flights back home.

Add an extension to a beach holiday in one of the Tanzanian Indian Ocean Islands.
