The Tarangire Treetops’ houses meander through the branches of thousand-year old trees.

Under these clear and sparkling African skies your dreams and fairy tales have been waiting for you! Nowhere, does fantasy come alive as it does here. Awaken to beautiful bird song, leave only your footprints, take only your memories, as you walk alongside the creatures of the African wilderness.

Day 3: After breakfast at Treetops you will enjoy a full day of activities including game drives, a visit to an authentic Maasai village, a game-walk, sundowners in the bush and a night game drive. Lunch and dinner will be served at Treetops Tarangire National Park Tarangire has a stunning baobab tree studded landscape and is a bird watchers paradise, containing the highest number of breeding bird species of any habitat in the world. It is also home to thousands of resident elephants and huge herds of buffalo, a good place to see leopard and lion and a wide variety of plains game. Herds of up to 300 elephants scratch the dry river bed for underground streams, while migratory wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala, gazelle, hartebeest and eland crowd the shrinking lagoons. It's the greatest concentration of wildlife outside the Serengeti ecosystem - a smorgasbord for predators – and the one place in Tanzania where drycountry antelope such as the stately fringe-eared oryx and peculiar long-necked gerenuk are regularly observed.

Dinner at Treetops is always a delight, whether it is in the Masai Manyatta under the stars with local Masai warriors to entertain or in the more sophisticated dhow-wood furnished restaurant overlooking the floodlit waterhole being overlooked in turn by giant baobab trees.

After lunch, you will explore more of the crater before heading back to the Manor for the evening cocktails, dinner and overnight. Ngorongoro & The Crater The Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in the world. Some maintain that before it erupted, it would have been higher than Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. Today, long since having collapsed and eroded, it is an extensive highland area with the famous 600 m deep Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. Nearly three million years old, the ancient caldera shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth. Endangered black rhino are protected within its rim, giant tusked elephants wander the forests, black-maned lions stalk the grasslands, and flamingoes crowd the soda lakes. An estimated 25 000 large mammals are resident in this bowl of plenty, including a population of approximately 6 000 resident wildebeest, 16 highly endangered black rhino and around 70 lions. Cheetah move in and out of the Crater, while leopard are most often encountered in the spectacular Lerai Forest.

Day 7: After breakfast you will spend the full day exploring the vast Serengeti. Enjoy a lunch in the bush, after which the afternoon will be spent game viewing. You will return to Serengeti Migration Camp in time for sundowners and dinner. The Serengeti It is not possible to say with any accuracy where the Great Migration of the Wildebeest will be at any one time. There are a number of determining factors depending on the rains and the grazing. However, one can be assured that if there is a good chance of seeing it then this can be accomplished from Migration Camp. So today will be spent in an open safari cruiser, well stocked with a picnic hamper and cool drinks, for the great expedition to find the Migration. But it should be remembered that not all the animals in the Serengeti opt to join the wildebeest in their time-honored circuit to find the best grazing. Zebras certainly tag along and a good number of predators who are looking for the weak and unwary. But many species are quite happy with their own territory, which makes a day’s game driving in the Serengeti an absolute delight and an experience to be treasured and remembered.

Day 8: Enjoy an early morning game walk to explore along the banks of the great Grumeti River, after which you will traverse the plains of the vast Serengeti on a game drive enroute to Serengeti Pioneer Camp. Lunch will be enjoyed out in the bush and you will arrive at camp in time to watch the sun go down. You will spend the next night at Serengeti Pioneer Camp where your stay is in a luxurious safari tent, on an all-inclusive basis (includes all meals, laundry service, transfers, game drives, scheduled activities, and drinks – excluding premium drinks). Paying homage to the mobile camps of the 1930’s, a time when an African safari was truly a journey into the unknown, Serengeti Pioneer Camp’s ‘zero footprint’ and close proximity to nature combines to make an unmistakably distinctive and truly individual offering. Serengeti Pioneer Camp captures the original essence of the mobile African safari, engendering nostalgic wonderment whilst unlocking the adventurous spirit within all of us. The drama and beauty of the Serengeti National Park is indeed aweinspiring.
