| Day 1: | Meet on arrival at Dar Es Salaam International Airport and transfer to the hotel. Overnight at The Oyster Bay Hotel on FB. |

On arrival you will be met and transferred to the camp. Lunch at the camp followed by afternoon game drive. All meals and overnight at Sand Rivers Selous camp at Beho Beho camp. Located in south-east Tanzania in a remote and little-visited part of the country, the Selous Game Reserve is Africa's largest protected wildlife reserve and covers more than 5% of Tanzania's total area. It's rivers, hills, and plains are home to roaming elephant populations, the area's famous wild dogs, and some of the last black rhino left in the region. Due to its remote location, and because it is most easily accessible only by small aircraft, the Selous Game Reserve has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania's national parks and game reserves, and offers visitors a chance to see a wild and expansive Africa far from paved roads and curio shops. |
| Day 3: | Full day spend in Selous Game Reserve with morning and afternoon game drives and other activities offered at the camp like fishing, boating & nature walks. All meals and overnight at Sand Rivers Selous or Beho Beho camp. |
| Day 4: | After breakfast transfer to the airstrip for your flight to L.Manyara National Park.
You will be met on arrival and transferred to the camp. Lunch followed by time to relax before going for afternoon game drive. All meals and overnight at L.Manyara Treetops. Located beneath the cliffs of the Manyara Escarpment, on the edge of the Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park offers varied ecosystems, incredible bird life, and breathtaking views. Located on the way to Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, Lake Manyara National Park is well worth a stop in its own right. Its ground water forests, bush plains, baobob strewn cliffs, and algae-streaked hot springs offer incredible ecological variety in a small area, rich in wildlife and incredible numbers of birds. The alkaline soda of Lake Manyara is home to an incredible array of bird life that thrives on its brackish waters. Pink flamingo stoop and graze by the thousands, colourful specks against the grey minerals of the lake shore. Yellow-billed storks swoop and corkscrew on thermal winds rising up from the escarpment, and herons flap their wings against the sun-drenched sky. Even reluctant bird-watchers will find something to watch and marvel at within the national park. The park is also home to the largest concentration of baboons anywhere in the world -- a fact that makes for interesting game viewing of large families of the primates. |

| Day 6: | After breakfast transfer to the airstrip for flight to Singita Grumeti Reserve where you are met on arrival and transferred to the lodge. Afternoon game drive.

It forms part of the Serengeti Mara ecosystem on the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, Africa's leading World Heritage Site. Each of its three lodges - Singita Sasakwa, Sabora and Faru Faru - is strategically positioned on the renowned migratory route traversed annually by more than a million wildebeest. The plains are home to large herds of game which provide incredible wildlife sightings all year round. The primary motivation behind the establishment of Singita Grumeti Reserves and its lodges was to protect this environmentally critical and extraordinarily beautiful part of the Serengeti eco-system. The lodges were established to generate sufficient funds to ensure the long-term sustainability of its conservation efforts, as well as of its closely allied and aligned, Neighbour Outreach Programme. Singita Grumeti Reserves represents a model of sustainable, self-funded conservation, in the process of becoming a reality. Singita Grumeti Reserves operates within an area that is one of the last greatest wildebeest migration routes left on earth. Thus, the company takes conservation very seriously and has a long-established track record of conservation best practice. |
