Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk., ROAD CONDITIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN AFRICA: Roads in Africa are often in very poor condition, which makes it hard on our vehicles. Our vehicles are serviced regularly and are generally in good condition, but breakdowns can and do happen. Sometimes the going on this trip is quite tough, the distances covered fairly large and some of the roads and tracks are not exactly smooth or free from dust, but the rewards are exceptional. The travelling times indicated in our Essential Trip Information is just a rough guide and is dependent on various factors that may be outside our control, such as road conditions, weather and time spent at borders. DRIVE TIMES: The travel times listed in the day to day itinerary are a guide only. Please be aware that delays may occur and please be patient - it's all part of the experience afterall! Additionally, the travel times do not include time spent on game drives as these can vary with each departure.

Day 1 - Arusha
Karibu! Welcome to Tanzania! Your adventure begins in Arusha – your gateway to the incredible national parks of Tanzania. When you arrive at Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll be met by a local representative and transferred to your hotel, where your adventure officially begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight. Located on the woodland slopes of Mount Meru, in the heart of a traditional coffee farm, your hotel offers fantastic views of Lake Duluti. If you arrive early, maybe visit the Natural History Museum or head to the Ngaramtoni Market to shop for handicrafts. After your meeting, join your leader and fellow travellers for a welcome dinner. Watch the sunset as you toast to the beginning of a new adventure.
Day 2 - Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, you’ll travel to Tarangire National Park. Dotted with baobab trees, this area experiences its own small-scale migration, as animals travel from Tarangire to Lake Manyara in search of water and grass. Your accommodation here is a permanent tented camp in the heart of the park with wonderful views of the Tarangire River. During the migration periods, you may see zebras, wildebeest and elephants passing by the veranda of your tent – a true African bush experience. In the afternoon, set out in search of wildlife on a 4WD game drive through the national park.
Day 3 - Karatu
After breakfast, set out on a sunrise 4WD game drive. Tarangire National Park is populated with elephants, herds of cape buffalo, gazelles, Burchell’s zebras, giraffes and warthogs. Their predators also roam the park – look out for lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, jackals and even African wild dogs. If you look to the skies, you’ll see the park’s abundant array of birdlife. After, continue your journey to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Along the way, stop at a local farmer’s market for a look at local life. Watch traders and buyers haggle over the prices of a colourful array of fruits and vegetables – your leader will pick up some seasonal fruits for you to try.
Day 4 - Serengeti National Park
Today, you’ll make your way to the wide-open plains of the Serengeti. Travel through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ngorongoro Conservation Area, skirting the mighty volcanic Ngorongoro Crater. Arrive at the endless plains of the Serengeti – they span some 14,700 sq km (5676 sq mi), home to about three million animals! Here, you might see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, lions, cheetahs, warthogs, hyenas, hippos and ostriches. This afternoon, head out on a 4WD game drive in the southern regions of the Serengeti for your first look at the park’s wildlife. In the evening, retire to your Feature Stay accommodation in the breathtaking wilderness of the Serengeti near the Seronera Valley – an excellent big cat viewing area. Built on a hill, the permanent tented camp offers spectacular, 360-degree views – perhaps best viewed from the swimming pool!
Day 5 - Serengeti National Park
You may like to spend the morning on a hot air balloon safari over the great plains. After, you’ll have a full day wildlife drive. The interactions between the many species of the Serengeti plains often provide some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in the world! Watch the landscape change in the park from the vast treeless central plains to thick scrubs and forests in the north. Linking these areas is the savannah, punctuated by acacia trees and rock outcrops. For lunch, you’ll stop in the bush for a fresh meal prepared and served right in the middle of the wilderness! Then, return to camp and take some time to relax in the shade. Once it’s cooled down and the animals are more active, set out again for an afternoon drive. No evening here is complete without sundowners, so tonight you’ll hop back in your safari vehicle and head to the hilltop above the lodge. As the sun dips low and the sky turns to fire, enjoy a drink, some snacks and toast to the magic of Tanzania.
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Conservation Area
This morning, say goodbye to Serengeti National Park and travel back to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area – one of Africa’s most beautiful nature reserves and the world’s largest intact caldera. Within this crater lies every type of ecosystem, including riverine forests, open plains, freshwater and alkaline lakes. On your game drive through the crater, look for roaming wildlife like the highly endangered black rhinoceros! Then, stop for a picnic lunch on the crater floor before continuing with your game drive. After, you’ll continue to the Ngorongoro Highlands.
Day 7 - Karatu
This morning is free for you to explore at your own pace Then, set off on a hands-on tour of a local coffee plantation. Learn all about the coffee process, from seed to bean to cup! In the afternoon, spend some time relaxing by the pool or speak to your leader about the other activities available.
Day 8 - Arusha
This morning, depart the lodge and make the drive back to Arusha. On the way, stop at the Pastoral Women’s Council in Makuyuni, where you’ll be welcomed with traditional Maasai song and dance. While you’re here, learn about Intrepid’s partnership with the Council, and visit Shanga to learn about intricate Maasai beadwork and how it’s a significant source of income and independence for women. Try spear throwing and fire-making with the locals and gain insight into Maasai traditional medicine. Continue to Arusha, arriving around 1 pm, where your adventure comes to an end. If you would like to extend your stay in Arusha, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
