Day 1:
NAIROBI.
Trip from the airport to the hotel.
Day 2:
Breakfast and transfer to the Wilson airport to take the PLANE to the majestic Masai Mara National Reserve, considered the pearl of nature in the country. The plane flight will provide us with a scenic flight over those hills covered by meadows and dotted with acacia trees that remind us so much of the authentic African landscape in the mythical film "Out of Africa", reception on the landing strip and beginning of the safari. There is no better phrase to describe the experience we offer in the Masai Mara, "Mother Earth's garden is called Masai Mara", an explosion of wildlife and a million and a half wildebeests that will cross the mythical Mara River are the objectives for our 4x4 safari days in the Masai Mara National Reserve.
Day 3:
Another day in the Masai Mara National Reserve will allow us to enjoy the rich diversity of wildlife and will invite us to lose ourselves in the infinity of its plains to find lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants... until we reach the shores of the Mara River with its chocolate waters in which hippos frolic a few meters from us. The course of the Mara River is the natural barrier that the large migratory herds of wildebeest and zebra must cross each year, moving between the Masai Mara Reserve and the Serengeti National Park, forming a truly overwhelming spectacle, having to save in the river infinity of crocodiles. In our camp we find ourselves in a privileged area to follow in the footsteps of the great migration. Bush Walking (Safari walk through the main crossing points of the Great Migration on the banks of the Mara River)
Day 4:
In the morning on the way to the airstrip we will be seen off during the morning safari by elegant giraffes, many hippos, wildebeest, zebras… along the backbone of the reserve, the Mara River. PLANE from the center of the Masai Mara Reserve to the heart of the Serengeti National Park. A fully exploited day of 4x4 safaris in the two reserves. Our 4x4 vehicle does not wait at the airstrip in the heart of the Serengeti NP in Tanzania to continue with our safari. The SERENGUETI NP in Tanzania is the natural extension of the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. There are no borders between the two countries in the reserves, so they are ignored by the animals in their search for fresh pasture. Every year between July and October about one and a half million wildebeest, 250,000 zebras and half a million gazelles, followed shortly by lions and hyenas, pleased with such a concentration of meat, move in search of food. They are the famous Migrations that offer one of the most overwhelming spectacles of nature. The Serengeti welcomes us for two nights in our PUMZIKA LUXURY SAFARI CAMP, in the middle of Seronera, the largest concentration of lions in the world and directly on the path of the great migrations. With private bathroom and shower in each tent. The sense of distance and savannah is the key to our camp's appeal, where elephant and buffalo may stroll quietly between the tents at night or a hyena ventures out of the dark and lies down to listen to the stories being told. they count around the campfire. The tents are spacious, with private bathrooms, they provide the highest level of intimacy, creating a sense of real exclusivity that evokes the Africa of the movies. A hot shower in the open air to rest from the safari and then the daily ritual to toast the arrival of the bonfire before a dinner roasted or grilled over the orange light of the charcoal embers. And finally, after an exquisite dinner, we return to what remains of the bonfire, silent circles to contemplate or simply enjoy, while others are noisier, becoming fun gatherings soaked with a gin and tonic to encourage safari stories to be even more juicy. During the night the tranquility of the surroundings is interrupted only by the unusual symphony of the roar of the lions or the passing of the penitent wildebeest in the great migration. This day we will go through the border formalities to enter Tanzania.
Day 5:
Second day at PUMZIKA LUXURY SAFARI CAMP, in the middle of Seronera, SERENGUETI NP. At dawn, optionally for the most romantic and adventurous, you can do a balloon safari in which to fly over the herds in silence at sunrise before landing in front of a champagne breakfast on the savannah in the most genuine Out of Africa style. The best safaris, or at least the best chance of witnessing hunting scenes, take place at dawn, when the savannah stretches and nocturnal animals are still active, and at dusk. We will dedicate these moments to meet the big five or better known as the "big five": lions, buffalo, elephants, rhinos and leopards. In addition to these undisputed protagonists, large herds of herbivores appear throughout its extensions throughout the year, always alert to the entry into action of a cheetah or a pride of lionesses. We will sleep in the middle of one of the largest wildlife sanctuaries on the planet, we will sleep in the "endless plain". His landscapes respond to the mythical image of Africa: large spaces, deep blue skies dotted with clouds, cool sunrises and fiery sunsets, and at night, a unique display of stars. With private toilets and showers in each tent.
Day 6:
Game drive at dawn en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. We will pay close attention to another singularity of the Serengeti National Park, the Kopjes, rock islands in a sea of grass where lions, leopards and cheetahs love to rest on top of these rocks. And leaving behind the endless plain and if the schedule allows it (you will have to skip the morning safari), we will optionally visit the Olduvai Gorge, where many fossils and artifacts of the first hominids have been found. All this is part of the great Serengeti ecosystem and borders the NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA. We will also visit a Masai Boma or Masai village to experience first-hand their ancestral traditions and way of life in the Ngorongoro area, our next destination for tonight. Another luxury like that of the Serengeti to be able to enjoy this special accommodation in the Ngorongoro Crater area.
We arrive at the impressive camp, perched on the Ngorongoro Crater, by road after a day of safari: the arrival is accompanied by the smell of wood smoke. Large private tents with absolutely all the comforts of a good hotel is without a doubt the modern experience that most resembles the first expeditions of the pioneering hunters and adventurers who explored an unknown Africa. There's a sense of authenticity without pretense, with huge handcrafted double beds covered in pristine white cotton down duvets to ward off chilly nights. A large bathroom mounted in the back, with showers that are buckets suspended in the air. Our team is quick to offer guests all the comforts of old-time safaris: a bonfire, a potent symbol of life in the African bush, shooting upwards against the pink of the setting sun, is a palpable sign that the long day of safari is over and it's time to relax, hot water carefully transported to each tent for a well deserved shower! and finally, a formal dinner, long table set with great detail, glass, porcelain and illuminated by the light of the candles, and how not seasoned with safari stories.
The camp becomes even more spectacular in the evenings with the dozens of lanterns that illuminate it and the tinkling of ice that will accompany a nightcap as the sun goes down or simply enjoy the wonderful African skies in the dark around the campfire. Old safari paraphernalia coupled with exotic touches are palpable in every corner of this camp. With private toilets and showers in each tent.
Day 7:
With the first rays of sun we go down in 4x4 vehicles to the interior of the Ngorongoro Caldera for our game drive. No reserve offers a spectacle as grandiose as the Ngorongoro Crater. A volcanic caldera 600 meters deep and over 20 kilometers in diameter that contains the largest “permanent” concentration of wildlife in Africa. Wild animals and Masai herders cohabit here. Spectacular landscape, inhabited by more than 40,000 Masai herders, dominated by the Rift Valley and the nine Ngorongoro volcanoes that began more than 4 million years ago. The only one that is currently active is Oldoinyo Lengai, the mountain of God for the Masais. The crater of Ngorongoro, a giant volcano that in its time was perhaps higher than Kilimanjaro itself, allows thousands of wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, gazelles, lions to graze inside, which, unlike in the Serengeti, do not migrate due to the continuous presence of water in the area that ensures their permanent livelihood. And after our unique and exclusive experience inside the caldera of the so-called Eden volcano, we head towards another majestic volcano, the EMPAKAI volcano. A trek to the Lake of this majestic volcano will put the finishing touch of the day, with thousands of flamingos in their migratory season, it will offer us scenes of wild nature in a simply perfect safari day.
Day 8:
A walk through the Ngorongoro ecosystem accompanied by a Masai will help us understand the interesting symbiosis that occurs between tourism and this Conservation Area where Masai life and wildlife coexist in total harmony. Transfer to Arusha.
