Day 4 03 Nov 10 or 22 Nov 10 Nairobi-Tarangire National Park | Meals: BLD
A very early start this morning as you fly to Arusha and then continue by road into Tarangire National Park. Game-view your way to your camp, arriving in time for lunch. Your camp is situated in the remote south-eastern part of Tarangire, perfectly placed to watch large concentrations of wilflife near the waterholes. Head out for an afternoon game drive.
Oliver's Camp is situated in the remote south-eastern part of Tarangire National Park, in the middle of Tarangire's unspoilt wilderness. The camp is ideally placed to access the yearly migrations of wildlife, and to view impressive concentrations at waterholes and in the spectacular Silale swamps. This area offers the best chance of seeing lion, leopard and cheetah and, especially during the dry season, the swamps are filled with elephant, buffalo and zebra. The camp is the perfect base to explore the busier baobab-country in the north of the park, but at the end of the day, guests return to the absolute exclusivity of Oliver's Camp.
Walking safaris and off-road driving are possible in the area around Oliver's Camp, thus ensuring you discover Tarangire in an intense and unforgettable way.
Located in the middle of the Tarangire wilderness, Oliver's Camp has one of the most wonderful settings one could imagine and offers an unparalleled bush experience. From the camp, a much wider eco-system can be overlooked: the Ngorongoro highlands, the Great Rift Valley, the Lame Manyara region and of course Tarangire NP itself. There is no better location from which to understand the breathtaking beauty and at the same time the complexity and ultimate fragility of this unique eco-system.
Oliver's Camp's crew has been a team for many years and as a result, a stay in camp feels like joining into a warm family. A family that will not only prepare amazing meals for you, but one that will also share with you a deeper knowledge of this stunning national park and its inhabitants. Naturalist guides will not only be able to find you the lion prides, but will also be able to tell you about the different family members of the lion prides, their characters and their habits. Walking safaris are the specialty of the camp, and especially on walking safaris, the depth of knowledge and experience of the camp naturalist guides makes the experience one to never forget. Research outpost from long gone times meets luxury and refined dining.
The camp features only 8 beautifully furnished guest tents. Solid wooden furniture, beautiful cloth and gorgeous warm showers that can be taken under the Tarangire sky. Every evening, guests relax or read in the lounge and library tent, or drink sundowners at the fireplace, from which superb views of landscape and sunset can be enjoyed.
"This is how Africa was meant to be", has been the comment of more than one visitor to Oliver's Camp and the camp's crew welcomes many return visitors every season. .
The range of activities on offer at Oliver's Camp is unique for a camp inside a Tanzanian National Park. Off-road driving makes wildlife drives more intense and interesting and allows you to get closer to the action. Walking and fly camping add another unique element to a safari that is hard to find in other parts of Tanzania. The park's stunning natural beauty is ideal for wildlife and nature photography.
Game drives from Oliver's Camp are usually carried out in open vehicles, giving a feeling of absolute freedom. Off-road driving, allowed only in the remote areas of the park, gets you closer to nature and wildlife - from spider to lion - and you'll discover rare and interesting species that usually go unnoticed when driving on dedicated roads.
Walking is the absolute specialty of Oliver's Camp. The privilege of walking in these prime natural areas gives you exhilarating feeling of adventure. Although you'll usually get close to large mammals such as elephant, giraffe, buffalo or even lion, the experienced naturalist guides of Oliver's Camp avoid confrontations with animals (watching is not the same as disturbing!) and an armed national park ranger accompanies every walk.

Day 5 04 Nov 10 or 23 Nov 10 Tarangire National Park | Meals: BLD
Tarangire covers more than 1000 square miles and was first established in 1970. The Tarangire River runs through the entire park, provided a water source for animals from all over. The distinctive baobob tree gives the park a unique landscape. Tarangire is also home to some of the largest herds of elephants in East Africa. Today enjoy two different game activities. Oliver's Camp is known for bush walks, so this morning you'll have an opportunity to walk with an experience ranger, getting up close to large mammals (where possible), but also learning about the trees, bugs, and other aspects of life in the bush. Later, keep your game list handy as you enjoy an afternoon game drive.

Day 6 05 Nov 10 or 24 Nov 10 Tarangire-Ngorongoro | Meals: BLD

The excitement begins early this morning as you descend to the floor of Ngorongoro to spend the better part of the day game-viewing in the crater. Ngorongoro is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and thanks to its size, the floor of the crater actually hosts several distinct areas, ranging from swamps, lakes and springs to open grassland and even sandy dunes. Stop around midday to enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing your game-viewing. Bird life here is amazing as well, so be sure to pack the binoculars!
Day 8 07 Nov 10 or 26 Nov 10 Ngorongoro-Serengeti | Meals: BLD
As we leave the Ngorongoro area, we stop to see Olduvai Gorge, sight of what might have been the most famous archaeological discovery of the 20th century and window into understanding human evolution. Our drive then continues into world-famous Serengeti National Park. Your game drive through the park might reveal herds of wildebeest and zebra along the plains. Keep a close eye out, as where there are plains game, the predators like lion, cheetah, hyena and more are bound to be nearby. Settle into your camp perched in the Moru Kopjes. Later, enjoy an afternoon game drive.
Day 9 08 Nov 10 or 27 Nov 10 Serengeti | Meals: BLD
There's no better way to end a safari than a full day in the Serengeti.

This area of the Serengeti is also great for spotting rhino as well as the big cats like lion and leopard. Enjoy both morning and afternoong game drives today.
Day 10 09 Nov 10 or 28 Nov 10 Serengeti-Depart | Meals: BLD
