Kenya & Tanzania Adventure

Please note: There is an optional Adventure Pass for you to purchase (Approx USD850). The cost of this is separate to the cost of the tour. You will need to pay the cost of your pass directly to your tour leader in Africa at the beginning of the tour. The Pass covers various park entrance fees, game drives, activities and excursions. Paying separately for the pass ensures that local suppliers benefit directly from the income.

This is an adventure tour involving camping and lots of participation, including setting up camp, as
well as shopping, cooking and other camp duties. It’s a lot of fun, but best suited to travellers looking
for a bit of a challenge. The transport is a really unique feature of this trip too, with most of our
journeys undertaken in our 24-seat custom-built safari vehicle. Most of our game park visits are carried out using smaller 4x4 vehicles provided by local services so you can get up close and personal
with the wildlife.

Itinerary

Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara Reserve (Kenya). We’ve got a long journey ahead of us (5 hours) so
stock up on snacks and download your fave playlists! Our home for the next two nights is a tented
camp on the edge of the Maasai Mara Reserve. Settle in and enjoy dinner and drinks with the gang.

Day 2: Maasai Mara Reserve. Explore the ‘Mara’ in 4x4 game vehicles today. The region is home to
the ‘Big 5’ and you’ve got a good chance of seeing lions, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, and leopards as
well as countless other species. Return to camp after the most amazing day as the sun begins to set.

Day 3: Maasai Mara reserve to Nairobi. Hop back into our over-landing adventure vehicle as we
return to Kenya’s bustling capital via the Great Rift Valley (5 hours). We’ll be staying on a campsite in
the leafy suburb of Karen, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Day 4: Nairobi to Arusha (Tanzania). Cross over into Tanzania today, headed for the buzzing town
of Arusha (5 hours). Get your haggle on in some of the local curio markets, before settling into our
camp just outside town. Take a walk to one of the local Maasai villages this afternoon if time allows.

Day 5: Arusha to Serengeti National Park. Head west across the Great Rift Valley to the majestic
Serengeti (full day’s driving including game drives). We’ll circle round the Ngorongoro Crater’s rim
and onto the Serengeti plains with incredible wildlife spotting opportunities. Gather round the fire at
our campsite tonight, where we’ll fall asleep after dinner to the sound of lions roaring.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater. We’re heading out of the plains today, game driving as we go! We’ll be
spending the night camping on the Ngorongoro rim with incredible views across the acacia tree
peppered landscape. Join your travel buddies round the campfire tonight for drinks and dinner.

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha. We’re up early for a morning of game driving in Ngorongoro
Crater. It’s a steep dirt track down to the crater floor where we’ll have the chance to see almost all
the major African mammals before heading back to Arusha (3 – 4 hours).

Day 8: Arusha to Bagamoyo. It’s another early start today as we travel south to Bagamoyo (11
hours) with views of the snowy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro. Explore the historic town when we
arrive, or just relax in the beachside camp over dinner and drinks with your travel buddies.

Day 9: Bagamoyo to Dar Es Salaam. Head south to Dar es Salaam (2 – 3 hours). Spend the night by
the beach, just outside the city, swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, sipping cocktails
from the bar, or just watching the fishermen sail past in their dhows.

Day 10: Zanzibar Island, Stonetown. Cross the ocean to exotic Zanzibar where we’ll spend the first
night in the capital, Stone Town. Pick up some unique souvenirs from the bazaars, lose yourself in
the maze of narrow streets or join an optional tour to the nearby spice plantations.

Days 11 - 12: Zanzibar Island, northern beaches. If you’re a beach bum you’ll be in heaven over the
next couple of days as we head to the north of the island. Bliss out on the sugar-white sands, snorkel
over the colourful coral gardens or just chill in a hammock with a good book.

Day 13: Zanzibar to Dar Es Salaam. You’ll have the morning to put the finishing touches to your tan
before it’s time to say goodbye to paradise as we board the ferry back to Dar es Salaam. Our tour
ends back on the mainland.
