Day 2 22 SEP 2016 Arusha-Serengeti | Meals: BLD
Take to the air this morning as your light aircraft flight whisks you to Tanzania's most famous game park, the Serengeti. You will be met at the airstrip and driven into camp in time for lunch. Later, head out on your first game drive in this stunning location.
Your guide for the next week is Carel Verhoef, a former bush child and now one of the leading photographic safari guides in East and Southern Africa. With more than 300 photographic safaris under his belt, Carel is still fascinated by the migration, which draws him back year after year. Whether you are a keen photographer or just keen to get great shots on safari, Carel is your man.
Lemala Mara Tented Camp is within touching distance of the Mara River (and yet far enough away to remain discrete and not interrupt wildebeest behavior as they mass along the steep banks) and set under large Euclea trees in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Northern Serengeti. Here, in this immense remote wilderness, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high, but nothing compared to when the migration starts arriving when the area then turns into a wildlife paradise par excellence.
The mobile tents are spacious and each is fitted with 2 double beds and combining an the authentic bush experience with all the little luxuries that make it so surprisingly comfortable. After an evening game drive, your tent attendant ensures your safari showers are filled with hot water to wash away the dust of the African savannah.
Both these camps are exceptional in sublime locations offering a high quality safari experience with excellent guiding and tasty home cooked meals freshly prepared. The camp organizes great picnic breakfasts and lunches for those who want to go on extended full day game drives.
The communal areas have separate seating and dining areas and are beautifully decorated with leather sofas, chandeliers, side cabinets, rugs, chests and even a bar. In the evening, guests gather around the campfire to enjoy pre-dinner drinks and canapes.

Day 3 - 5 23 to 25 SEP 2016 Serengeti | Meals: BLD
The next three days are spent at our luxury camp on the edge of the Mara River. Lemala Mara Tented Camp is within touching distance of the Mara River (and yet far enough away to remain discrete and not interrupt wildebeest behavior as they mass along the steep banks) and set under large Euclea trees in the heart of the best game viewing area of the Northern Serengeti. Here, in this immense remote wilderness, guests can enjoy fabulous landscapes and terrific game viewing with practically no crowds. Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high, but nothing compared to when the migration starts arriving when the area then turns into a wildlife paradise par excellence.
Each day you will head out on morning and afternoon game drives. No doubt, you will return with fascinating tales of crossings and following the thousands upon thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. Predators are never far behind, so sighting of the big cats should be good as well.

Day 6 26 SEP 2016 Serengeti Explorer | Meals: BLD
Leave camp on a morning game drive today, ending at your second camp in the Northern Serengeti. The luxury semi-permanent Serengeti Explorer Camp moves three times a year to ensure it is in the best place to witness the annual migration.
After time to settle into your tent, spend the afternoon on a game drive.
Serengeti Explorer Camp is all about the location. Located in Serengeti National Park, the camp is strategically located to be in the best locations for game viewing and following the herds of the Migration. Each of the 10 spacious tents has a private verandah, ensuite facilities, solar powered LED lighting and a personal tent valet to look after you.
Each day your personal camp chef prepares exciting meals timed to match your game viewing activities. Perhaps you start the day with a thermos of coffee and some fresh baked muffins to enjoy during your early morning game drive. Lunch served in the shade of a tree with wildebeest grazing nearby.
Meals can be tailored to dietary requirements and preferences with advanced notice. Vegetarian meals, low salt or pork free meals are easily arranged.
From mid-December to mid-March, the camp is set in the southern central Serengeti National Park in the Ndutu area. In June and July the camp moves to the western Serengeti and by August through October, the camp has moved with the migration into the northern Serengeti.

Day 7 - 9 27-29 SEP 2016 Serengeti Explorer Camp | Meals: BLD
Game viewing here is extraordinary and with luck, you will be surrounded by wildebeest and zebra, along with a host of other plains game.
Wildebeest are well suited for this long and arduous journey. They have a flap in their nostrils that block out the dust kicked up from those in front and beside them. If threatened, they can gallop at speeds up to 40 mph in short bursts. Their young learn how to stand and walk within just 4 minutes of being born. On average, they cover about 6 miles per day.
