THE BEST OF TANZANIA 14 – DAY MIGRATION SAFARI

DAY 1 – FRIDAY – OCTOBER 17 – DEPART USA

International air from the U.S. to the Kilimanjaro Airport has not been included in the cost of this safari. This allows

guests flexibility in using frequent flyer miles, booking air from their home towns and of spending time in Europe on the

way to or from East Africa. Please call World Discovery Safaris (205-972-8733) if you would like our assistance with

your air arrangements.

DAY 2 – SATURDAY – OCTOBER 18 – KILIMANJARO, TANZANIA

Welcome to Tanzania! On arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha, you will clear customs,

claim your luggage and will then be met by your safari guides in the arrivals hall. Transfer to the historic Arusha

Hotel for overnight.

DAY 3 – SUNDAY – OCTOBER 19 – ARUSHA / TARANGIRE

NATIONAL PARK

In the morning you drive to Tarangire National Park. Upon

entering the park you begin to see wildlife and also the many

baobab trees which thrive in this area. These large, pulpy

trees, scattered in ones and twos throughout the park, may

be as old as California redwoods and can branch out as much

as 30 feet in diameter. Tarangire is best known for its herds

of fringe-eared oryx as well as numerous elephant — the park is a seasonal home for about 3,000 of these large,

gentle creatures. In addition, there are many impala, African buffalo, and rarer mammals, such as wild dog,

leopard and lesser kudu. Goliath heron, woodland kingfisher, magpie shrike, both Fischer’s and yellow-

collared love-birds, orange-bellied parrot, bateleur eagle, secretary bird, Maasai ostrich, kori bustard, beautiful

sunbird and paradise whydah are but a few of the birds you can expect to see in this sanctuary where more

than 300 species have been listed. Your days are filled with wildlife viewing, and you spend the next two

nights at Safari Legacy’s Maisha Kikoti Safari Camp where you will enjoy a bush lunch, guided nature walk,

sundowner and an evening game drive. B/L/D

DAY 4 – MONDAY – OCTOBER 20 – TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK

You spend the day exploring Tarangire National Park – famous

for its numerous baobab trees and large elephant population. The

park derives its name from the Tarangire River which, during the

dry season, is the only source of water for a vast area. During the

months of June through October it becomes a “sand river” with

almost no surface water. Although most animals are incapable, by

themselves, of reaching the water that still flows under the sand,

elephants are expert well diggers and it is on these water holes

that Tarangire’s wildlife depends. As in other ecosystems,

vegetation type and animal species are closely related and it is the

diversity of habitats that makes Tarangire such a superb wildlife

conservation area. The principal vegetation zones here include grasslands, floodplains, riparian areas along the

Tarangire River, Acacia-Commiphora woodlands and rocky outcroppings, each with its unique component of

wildlife. Your meals and overnight accommodations are at Kikoti Safari Camp. B/L/D

DAY 5 – TUESDAY – OCTOBER 21 – TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK / LOSIRWA VILLAGE / LAKE MANYARA

NATIONAL PARK / KARATU

Following breakfast you depart with a picnic lunch, descend onto the floor of Africa’s Great Rift Valley and

arrive at Losirwa Village. Maintaining the balance between wildlife needs and the needs of the human

population is a fundamental aspect of the long-range goals of every successful conservation effort. Tree

planting projects, such as the one you will be involved with here, are designed to provide an opportunity to

interact with rural Tanzanians on a one to one basis, establish a genuine cross cultural interaction with these

people and help you understand their life style. The trees that have been selected for this project are a species

of Acacia, used extensively by the local population for building, as fuel wood and as fodder for their livestock.

In addition these trees, when full sized will provide shade and enrich the soil with their nitrfixing properties.

In the afternoon you drive to Lake Manyara National Park. This beautiful wildlife sanctuary is famous for its

tree-climbing lions, great herds of African buffalo, and a thriving population of elephant. You enter the park

along a road that passes through a ground water forest frequented by troops of baboons, blue monkeys, and

elephants. Nile hippo wallow in the channel that directs the water of the Mto-wa-Mbu River into Lake

Manyara and many species of shore and water birds frequent this area. Pink-backed and white pelicans, long-

tailed cormorant, fulvous and white-faced whistling ducks, African and lesser jacanas, common pratincole,

water thick-knee, and African fish eagle are but a few of the many species you may see here. This national park

has been designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve and is one of the prettiest parks in northern Tanzania. In

the afternoon you check into your accommodations at the Manyara Wildlife Safari Camp. B/PL/D

DAY 6 – WEDNESDAY – OCTOBER 22 – MTO WA MBU VILLAGE / AKWESO IRAQW CULTURAL CENTER

In the morning you visit the village of Mto-wa-Mbu which is located on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Here

you join a local guide who introduces you to the medical, agricultural and cultural practices of this diverse

community. You also stop at a wood carver’s and artists guild where craftsmen sculpture ebony and

mahogany masterpieces and painters produce their Tingatinga art. Unique to Tanzania, if you are fond of

bright colors and design simplicity, then Tingatinga paintings are for you! An excellent and informative article

by Berit Sahlström explains the history of the Tingatinga style of painting. After a traditional lunch, prepared

Photo- Safari Legacy

by the women of the village, you drive to the village of Karatu and visit

the Akweso Iraqw Cultural Center. Here you meet Daniel and are

introduced to the ancient culture of the Cushitic people who moved

into what is now know as Tanzania from the “Horn of Africa’ nearly

1000 years ago. You should also have time to visit the Shalom

Orphanage before checking into your accommodations at the

Bougainvillea Safari Lodge. B/L/D

DAY 7 – THURSDAY – OCTOBER 23 – LAKE EYASI & THE HADZABE

BUSHMEN

Early this morning you depart for the Lake Eyasi area to visit the

Hadzabe (Hadzapi) and Datoga tribal groups. The Hadzapi are one of the few remaining tribes of bushman in

Tanzania. There are fewer than 600 individual members and they speak one of Africa’s oldest “click”

languages. They are nomadic hunters and gatherers and do not live in villages. Your local guide, who speaks

their language, will locate a family group for you to visit. During your visit you’ll learn how the men prepare

their bows and arrows and hunt. You may also have an opportunity to forage with the women for the seeds,

berries, roots and other plants that provide about 80% of their dietary needs. Later in the day you’ll spend

some time with the pastoral Datoga. Although superficially similar to the Maasai, these people speak a

different language and are Africa’s traditional smiths, using charcoal ovens and goat skin bellows to smelt iron

and steel from the local ore. They keep goats, sheep, donkeys and a few chickens, but cattle are, by far, their

most important domestic animal. In the afternoon you ascend to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and check

into your accommodations at the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. B/PL/D

DAY 8 – FRIDAY – OCTOBER 24 – NGORONGORO CRATER

After an early breakfast you depart with a picnic lunch for a full day’s game drive on the Crater floor. Ngorongoro

is the largest unbroken crater on earth, and a veritable Garden of Eden. The year-round grazing and fresh water

available here provides a permanent home for approximately 23,000 large mammals. Herds of wildebeest,

common zebra, African buffalo and Thomson's gazelle mingle as they feed in this serene setting. With almost 100

lions, masses of spotted hyena, and numerous golden, silver-backed, and side-striped jackals, the crater also has

the highest concentration of carnivores of any place on earth. Leopard and cheetah occur here, but are not

commonly seen. In the lakes and marshes you look for Nile hippo, common waterbuck, black rhino and any of the

220 species of birds that have been seen here, including greater and lesser flamingos. In the afternoon you return

to the Ngorongoro Serena Lodge. B/PL/D

DAY 9 – SATURDAY – OCTOBER 25 – NGORONGORO CRATER / OLDUVAI GORGE / SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

After breakfast you descend from the Crater highlands into the great alter-crater where Maasai cattle mingle

freely with zebra and eland. As you crest the rim of the crater all of Africa seems to come into view. This is the

great Serengeti, the grande dame of all African game parks, a huge expanse of grass that was once a great inland

sea. After descending from the crater rim you stop at Olduvai Gorge, one of the world's most important

prehistoric archaeological sites. It was here, in 1959, that Mary Leakey discovered the fossilized bone fragments of

one of our earliest hominid ancestors. Several of the fossils, which have been found here, are displayed in a small,

but nice museum at the Olduvai Visitors Center. (Although most frequently written as "Olduvai," the more correct

spelling for the name of this area is "Oldupai," a Maasai name for a species of wild sisal, which grows abundantly

in the area.) In the afternoon you drive across the great Serengeti plains, game viewing along the way to your

accommodations, for the next two nights, at the Serengeti Serena Lodge. B/PL/D

Iraqw Cultural Center

DAY 10 – SUNDAY – OCTOBER 26 – SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (SERONERA)

Morning and afternoon game drives allow you to explore this vast wildlife sanctuary. In addition to wildlife, the

area is rich in human history and you may take time to visit one or more of the sacred Maasai sites, such as

Gong Rock or some ancient cave paintings. Soon after gaining its independence from Great Britain, and with

the support of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, Tanzania’s government made several landmark decisions

regarding their natural heritage. Today more than 40% of its total land area is protected in one form or

another. Accordingly, Tanzania ranks as one of the most wildlife conservation oriented countries on earth.

B/L/D

DAYS 11 AND 12 – MONDAY AND TUESDAY – OCTOBER 27 & 28 – SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (NORTHERN

SERENGETI)

Following breakfast you drive north to an area, near the Bologonja and Grumeti Rivers, through which, at this

time of the year, the migratory herds of wildebeest, zebra, eland and Thompson’s gazelle past as they travel

south from Kenya’s Maasai Mara Game Reserve to the Serengeti’s short grass plains. In addition to the

migratory animals, the grasslands near these water sources provide a habitat for herds of Grant’s gazelle, topi,

Maasai giraffe, African buffalo and warthog and the riparian forests that flank the river are home to vervet

monkeys, olive baboons and numerous birds. After moving into your tented accommodation you gather for an

afternoon “tea” and lecture / discussion regarding the Serengeti – Mara ecosystem and the “great migration”.

Your accommodations for these two nights are at Migration Camp. B/L/D

DAY 13 – WEDNESDAY – OCTOBER 29 – SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK / ARUSHA / DEPART

Your morning game drive provides a final opportunity to spend time with Serengeti’s wildlife. Later in the

morning you transfer to a nearby airstrip and board the 1- hour flight back to Arusha. Following lunch at the

Cultural Heritage Center you check into day rooms at the Arusha Hotel. The remainder of the day is

unstructured providing time to shop, or rest in preparation for your return to the U.S. In the evening you join

your Tanzanian hosts for a farewell dinner before departing for the Kilimanjaro Airport. B/L/D

DAY 14 – THURSDAY – OCTOBER 30 – ARRIVE USA

KENYA PRE – SAFARI EXTENSION OCTOBER 12 - 18, 2014

DAY 1 – SUNDAY – OCTOBER 12 – DEPART USA

International air from the U.S. to the Nairobi International Airport has not been included in the cost of this safari. Please

call World Discovery Safaris (205-972-8733) if you would like our assistance with your flight reservations.

DAY 2 – MONDAY – OCTOBER 13 – ARRIVE NAIROBI, KENYA

Upon arrival at the Nairobi International Airport, you clear customs and are met by your driver/ guides who

transfer you to the Ole Sereni Hotel for overnight.

DAY 3 – TUESDAY – OCTOBER 14 – NAIROBI /

SAMBURU GAME RESERVE

This morning you gather for a short pre-safari briefing

before departing on the drive north through Kenya's

famous "White Highlands." In addition to shambas of

maize, pineapples, bananas and millet, you pass

plantations of coffee, tea, sisal and pyrethrum and

soon realize that much of Kenya's agricultural wealth

is found here. At mid-day, you ascend the slopes of

Mount Kenya and stop for lunch at Trout Tree

Restaurant. This delightful open-air restaurant is

located under some giant African olive trees,

adjacent to a cool mountain stream and is an excellent place to find black and white colobus monkeys and

some beautiful highland birds. Along the way you are likely to pass some of the picturesque Samburu, a

pastoral people related to the Maasai. In the afternoon you arrive at the Samburu Game Reserve in Kenya’s

Northern Frontier District. You spend the next two nights at Samburu Game Lodge, in a beautiful setting on the

banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. B/L/D

DAY 4 – WEDNESDAY – OCTOBER 15 – SAMBURU GAME RESERVE

Morning and afternoon game drives take you into the semi-desert

thorn bush bordering the Ewaso Nyiro River. A primary reason for

coming to this area is to find and photograph the wildlife

characteristic of the “Horn of Africa” and not found far south of

the semi-arid Samburu region. Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, beisa

oryx, gerenuk, olive baboon, Gunther’s dik-dik and reticulated

giraffe thrive in this harsh but picturesque landscape. Fan-tailed

raven, black-faced sandgrouse, blue-naped mousebird and

vulturine guineafowl are a few of the many unique birds found

here. In addition to wildlife you may opt ($25 per person) to visit a

traditional Samburu village where you will have an opportunity to

visit with the people, see inside their loaf shaped homes and learn

about some of the ancient traditions of these pastoral people. B/L/D

DAY 5 – THURSDAY – OCTOBER 16 - SAMBURU GAME RESERVE – MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to the Maasai

Mara via Nairobi, to the world famous Maasai Mara Game

Reserve and your accommodations for the next two nights at

Mara Intrepids Tented Camp. Located in the center of the

Maasai Mara National Reserve, above a sweeping bend in the

Talek River, Mara Intrepids provides all the comforts of home.

The public areas are under a makuti and gum pole construction.

Breakfasts and lunches are served on the champagne terrace and

dinner is served in the central dining area near the river's edge.

After dinner young people, from a nearby Maasai village, often

visit the camp to perform some of their traditional dances. An

askari (night watchman) escorts you back to your tents, and you fall asleep to the comforting nocturnal voices of

the African bush. B/L/D

DAY 6 – FRIDAY – OCTOBER 17 - MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

You awaken to the morning chorus of birds and are soon out doing just what you came for - to find,

photograph, observe and learn about African wildlife. This northern extension of the Serengeti virtually throbs

with life. "The Mara" savannas are famous for their concentration of grazing and browsing animals and their

predators - lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena. Morning and afternoon game drives take you to different areas,

depending on where your safari guides feel there are the best chances of seeing exceptional wildlife. They may

suggest you rise early and return for a late breakfast, or depart with a picnic breakfast and lunch and spend

the entire day away from camp. The order of your day may differ, but one thing is guaranteed - you will see

lots of mammals, birds, and other wildlife. Your meals and accommodations are at Mara Intrepids Club.

B/L/D

DAY 7 – SATURDAY – OCTOBER 17 – SERENGETI / NAIROBI / TANZANIA / DEPART

After breakfast you transfer to the airstrip for your flights to Nairobi and Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro Airport. On

arrival you are met by your safari guides and transfer to the historic Arusha Hotel. B/L/D

RWANDA POST-SAFARI EXTENSION October 29 - November 3, 2014

DAY 1 – WEDNESDAY – OCTOBER 29 – SERENGETI NATIONAL PARI / KIGALI, RWANDA

In the morning you transfer to a nearby airstrip and board the scheduled flight to Kigali via Mwanza.

Following your arrival at the Kigali Airport you are met by your Rwanda safari guides and transferred to your

accommodations at the Kigali Serena Hotel. B/L/D

DAY 2 – THURSDAY – OCTOBER – KIGALI – GORILLA VIEW LODGE

Following breakfast you depart on a scenic three hour drive over good roads and through a lush and rolling

countryside towards the Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park). In the afternoon you check into

Gorilla View Lodge, your accommodations for the next three nights. This recently opened lodge has

comfortable, nicely appointed rooms with modern bathrooms and hot water. It has a spacious restaurant with

a large bar and reception area and friendly service. On a clear day the views, from the lodge, of the volcanoes

and surrounding hills are spectacular. B/L/D

DAY 3 – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31 – PARC NATIONAL DES VOLCANS

/ GORILLA TREK

After an early breakfast you drive to the Parc National des

Volcanas (Volcanoes National Park), one of the last refuges of

the mountain gorilla. Here the volcanic massif ranges in

altitude from 8,500 to 11,000 feet above sea level. Its densely

forested slopes are dominated by Hagenia trees with twisted

trunks and lichen covered low branches. The mountain

gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the most endangered

primates in the world. Fewer than 700 of these magnificent

animals still cling to a fragile existence in small, protected

patches of rainforest in northwest Rwanda, southwest

Uganda and the eastern corner of the Democratic Republic of

Congo (DRC). Following your arrival at the park headquarters you are briefed by one of the park rangers

before setting out in search of gorillas. During the next two days you visit different groups of habituated

Photo- Richard Mills

gorillas. Well-trained guides lead you to the site where a gorilla family was encountered the previous day and

from this point you track them to their current location. The trek can take between one and six hours, at

altitudes in excess in 8,500 feet, up steep and muddy sloops and over rough terrain. Although the hike may be

demanding, the anticipation of the exciting experience ahead is invigorating and the beauty of the forest and

its inhabitants fascinating. Observing a wild gorilla family in its natural habitat and on its terms is considered,

by many naturalists, to be one of the most profound natural history experiences in the world. Each strictly

regulated 60-minute visit passes all too quickly and you must depart, leaving the gorillas to their fragile

existence. After a visit with the gorillas you return to the park headquarters, rejoin your drivers and return

with them to Gorilla View Lodge. Time permitting you will also have an opportunity to visit the Bisate School

which is supported by the Columbus Zoo. Over the past seven years the Zoo’s Partners in Conservation

program has provided this school with funding, textbooks, school supplies and information about

conservation. More than 2,500 students, including some of the gorilla trackers’ own children, attend the Bisate

Primary School. As a result of this support the number of students passing their national exams has increased

from 23% to 69%, and their parents are seeing how conservation programs are benefitting their children and

helping protect the gorillas and their habitats. B/L/D

DAY 4 – SATURDAY – NOVEMBER 1 - PARC NATIONAL DES VOLCANS (VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK) - GORILLA

TREK

Today you have a second opportunity to trek into the Parc

National des Volcanas and spend another hour with a gorilla

family. In the afternoon you return to the Kigali Serena Hotel

and, time permitting, join your guide for a city safari and

optional visit to the Genocide Museum which has been

constructed on one of the sites where mass killings occurred.

Today it serves as a sobering reminder of our fragile society

and how badly things can become when we fail to work and

live together. B/L/D

DAY 5 – SUNDAY – NOVEMBER 2 – KIGALI / DEPART

After breakfast you transfer to the Kigali Airport for your flight to the USA.

Please Note: International air from the Kigali International Airport has not been included in the cost of this safari.

Please call World Discovery Safaris (205-972-8733) if you would like our help shopping for international air.

DAY 6 – MONDAY – NOVEMBER 3 – ARRIVE USA

B = Breakfast; L = Lunch; PL= Picnic lunch; D = Dinner

*Internal tickets issued by Safari Legacy

Please note: The treks to see and observe gorillas can be physically demanding. Accordingly we suggest you carefully

evaluate your physical condition before registering for this extension. No one under age 15 is permitted to trek gorillas.

WILDLIFE SAFARI TO TANZANIA

About this safari: This wildlife safari is specifically designed to take full advantage of the Serengeti wildlife migration and visit a variety

of East Africa’s wildlife habitats, each with its unique community of birds and mammals, scenic attractions, and cultural components. Your

means of transportation is in customized 4-wheel drive safari vehicles with a guaranteed window seat and access to the roof hatch for all

participants.

Physical activities: The pace of this safari is “moderate” and should not be excessively demanding for most. Stays at most locations are of

more than one night, which allows time to experience the place, relax and even sit out a game drive or two. On most days there are options

for both morning and afternoon game drives. On some mornings it may be advantageous to depart early and return to the safari camp for

breakfast. On other days you may chose to take lunch with you and spend the entire day out. Afternoon game drives usually begin about

3:00 PM and may last until dark.

Your Tanzania Naturalist – Guides: Each safari is accompanied by one or more professional driver / guides. These men and women are

graduates of an extensive and on going training program that includes courses in natural history, safarism and African culture and history.

They are carefully selected for their knowledge, temperament and ability to communicate. In addition they have had several years of “on

the job” training and have advanced to their current position because they have successfully led numerous wildlife safaris and demonstrated

their ability as charismatic, knowledgeable and resourceful leaders.

Accommodations: Our safari makes use of exclusive, luxury wildlife lodges and tented camps. In addition to enhancing the “feel” of the

traditional East Africa safari, the tented camp provides all of the comforts of the lodges but offer far less crowded conditions and more

personalized services. We expect you to savor your trip to East Africa for the rest of your life and believe the private tented camp offers the

most intimate safari experience.

Environmental Sensitivity and Conservation Commitment: Environmentally sensitive travel to East Africa’s parks and cultural centers

is an important aspect of the country’s long-range challenge, to manage its wealth of wildlife in a sustainable manner, and to utilize its

resources in a way that will create optimum living conditions for all its inhabitants. A portion of the proceeds from this Tanzania wildlife

safari program are donated to the Foundation for Wildlife Conservation. Additional donations are designated for other conservation projects

underway in Tanzania and the tax revenues generated by our safaris are used to improve schools, roads and hospitals.
