Itinerary
D AY 1 A R R I VE N A I R O B I , K E N YA
Arrive in Nairobi, where you are met and transferred to your hotel. A microcosm of the African continent,
this capital city is your gateway to a dramatic procession of natural spectacles in Kenya and Tanzania,
among the most thrilling destinations in the world.

Drive to Amboseli National Park, known for its thriving big-game population, especially elephants, more
than 1,000 of which live in the park. From a distance, take in views of the highest mountain in Africa, the
snowcapped Mount Kilimanjaro, with its impressive Uhuru Peak soaring to 19,341 feet. Arrive at your
lodge set beneath acacia trees in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. After lunch, explore the acacia woodland,
freshwater swamps, scrub brush and open plains in search of wildlife. Part of the park is composed of a
dried-up lake bed, where mirages rise from the shimmering heat. This evening, share in a special
welcome dinner with your fellow guests.

Set out on early morning and afternoon game drives, crisscrossing the landscape in search of the park’s large herds of elephants, as well as zebras and
wildebeests, along the salt pan trails. Prepare for predator sightings as opportunistic animals begin roaming the plains in search of prey. Return to your lodge for
dinner followed by a relaxing evening under African skies.

After crossing the border into Tanzania, stop at an animal rescue center for an A&K-exclusive experience. Meet with the caretakers and view the animals in their
care, including orphaned elephants. Continue to your hotel located on the picturesque slopes of Mount Meru. Here, enjoy a refreshing Scenic Sundowner on the
edge of Lake Duluti before gathering for dinner.

Drive from Arusha to Lake Manyara National Park for a morning game drive, searching for nonchalant baboons, dik-diks that forage for food beneath acacia trees
and large herds of buffalo, wildebeests and zebras, which gather on the grassy, sun-drenched plains. Along a narrow belt of acacia woodland, you may even spot
the region’s storied tree-climbing lions, which ascend branches for a cool breeze. After lunch, continue to the village of Mto wa Mbu, where you Ride Like a Local
on a tuk-tuk, viewing rice fields and the local community as you go. Then, travel to Ngorongoro Crater, ascending its outer wall through dense vegetation.
Ngorongoro is the largest unbroken ancient caldera in the world and a likely place to view lions, elephants, hyenas and gazelles. This afternoon, participate in a
Chef ’s Table demonstration in the hotel kitchen, preparing and sampling local dishes.

This morning, descend into the crater, arriving ahead of most visitors — thanks to the ideal location of your accommodations on the crater’s rim — to view the
resident wildlife at its most active time of day. The prairies of this “Lost World” are great spots for watching buffalo and elephants as well as the countless other
species that roam the crater’s 100-square-mile floor. You may even sight flamingos (when in season) or the rare black rhino. Following lunch, visit a Maasai village
to gain a better understanding of the nomadic cattle-herders’ daily life and culture.

Drive to vast, wildlife-rich Serengeti National Park and through its spectacular mix of savanna grassland and volcanic hills, stopping en route for a privately guided
tour of Olduvai Gorge, one of the key sources of prehuman hominid fossils. Renowned paleontologists Mary and Louis Leakey made many notable finds here,
including “Nutcracker Man,” who lived approximately 1.75 million years ago. Visit the on-site museum, take in views from the lookout point and examine the
excavations, which revealed 3.7-million-year-old footprints and the 1.8-million-year-old skull of a human. Continue to your lodge, which is framed by commanding
views of this land of lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, giraffes and topi. The park also serves as a setting for the Great Migration when it passes through each
year. Enjoy your room’s blend of elegant and contemporary design with influences from the traditional Maasai culture.

Today, revel in true safari country, searching for the Big Five (lions, leopards, Cape buffalo, elephants and rhinos), along with giraffes, gazelles and zebras. Along
the rivers, plains and rocky outcroppings, you may also spot some of the Serengeti’s more diminutive denizens, such as leopard tortoises and rhinoceros beetles.

Explore a region bestowed with over 500 square miles of savannas, woodlands and tree-fringed rivers on morning and afternoon game drives. You may observe
crocodiles basking in the sun, see ever-alert hippos wallowing in muddy water and catch the antics of mischievous monkeys overhead. Watch, too, as African
elephants rumble along the forest edge and giraffes snatch leaves from branches high above.

spot some of the nearly 500 species of birds in the region.
M ake Beads with the M aasai, learning the craft of beading
from tribal members and creating your own jewelry.
Throw the Rungu with M aasai Warriors, testing your
skills with their traditional wooden hunting club.
Then, go on a late-afternoon game drive for a final look at the

plains just before dusk — a relaxing prelude to a memorable
farewell dinner with your fellow guests.
