Itinerary

Travel Map

Day 1: Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Arrive in Dar es Salaam and transfer to your hotel, a modern oasis in the heart of the vibrant city.

Day 2: Nyerere National Park

Fly to Nyerere National Park (formerly called Selous Game Reserve) and transfer to your safari lodge. The drive to your camp takes you along the river, so keep your eyes peeled for hippopotamus. After settling in, embark on your first game drive in Nyerere National Park, Africa’s largest wildlife sanctuary.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 3: Nyerere National Park

The sheer vastness and diversity of the landscape, with hot volcanic springs, calm lakes and the Great Ruaha and Rufiji Rivers make Nyerere an amazing area to view wildlife. Rise at dawn for exceptional game drives along freely cut tracks, where you may see a pack of ...

Day 4: Nyerere National Park

Cruise down the Rufiji River as you safari by boat in search of the elephant, hippo, buffalo and crocodile that frequent the banks on your last day in the country’s largest wildlife sanctuary.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 5: Ruaha National Park

Fly to Ruaha National Park and transfer to your safari lodge set high on a rocky kopje overlooking spiky palms and bulbous baobabs. Here, expert guides lead walking safaris, game drives and night drives in one of the continent’s largest and most bio-diverse wilderness areas.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 6: Ruaha National Park

This morning, join your guide to explore the park’s rolling lowland areas with wide sand rivers where scattered herds of impala, greater kudu, waterbuck, and zebra graze. Keep watch for Elephant digging in the sand rivers for the water below ground.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7: Ruaha National Park

Today, set out for the park’s wide-open plains, tracking eland, antelope, lion, hyena, cheetah, leopard, wild dog and baboon. While you will not find the huge herds of game here as you might in the Serengeti, the game is more varied, and the stunning open landscape offers opportunities for amazing photography.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 8: Serengeti National Park

Fly to the fabled Serengeti National Park and settle into your classically tented safari camp. Then, set out on the boundless Serengeti, one of the oldest and least-changed ecosystems on earth, where the circle of life plays out every day. It is home to one of the wor...

Day 9: Serengeti National Park

Venture out on morning and afternoon game drives in the protected Serengeti refuge, where flowing rivers support a plethora of species. In addition to the Big Five (lion, elephant, Cape buffalo, leopard and rhino), keep your camera handy for sights such as a cheetah b...

Day 10: Serengeti National Park

Spend your last day on safari in the rolling, golden grassland of Tanzania's iconic Serengeti National Park. This morning you may also opt for a hot air balloon ride, at an additional cost, for an exciting new perspective across the boundless Serengeti, home of one of the largest wildlife populations in the world.

Meals Provided : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Fly to Arusha and enjoy lunch. Relax in a comfortable dayroom before transferring to the airport for your flight home.

I will Never, EVER, EVER use A&K again. They are not what they were represented to be.

View Profile

At Abercrombie & Kent, we strive at every turn to redefine your notion of what is possible on a vacation. Our approach combines singular service — such as a private passage by road and lake through the Andes, or a maximum group size of only 12 guests on each Galápagos shore excursion — with insider-access opportunities unlike any you have experienced before. A&K lets you discover Machu Picchu through the eyes of its former resident archaeologist, and introduces you to Mayan culture firsthand, through an exclusive meeting with a Mayan family.

In these and myriad other ways, Abercrombie & Kent consistently goes above and beyond the call of duty — and no A&K journey is complete without that extra, unexpected "and" that makes your experience unique and unforgettable.

Choose from a Luxury Small Group Journey, the finest group travel experience in the world; a Connections journey, which combines A&K’s renowned service with unbeatable value; A Marco Polo Club Invitational Journey to an exotic locale; a private Signature Series itinerary; or a custom independent journey created just for you. When it comes to discovering the world, the possibilities are endless.

Making these extraordinary journeys possible are the handpicked experts in our 50 offices worldwide, on call around the clock. Chief among them are our resident A&K Tour Directors and local guides. The Tour Director leads each group departure, providing unmatched on-the-ground expertise with A&K local guides contributing along the way.

With expertise in not only luxury but culture, wildlife and history as well, Abercrombie & Kent reveals your destination with an authenticity beyond the reach of any other travel company.
