Our
most comprehensive and perhaps the most popular
safari we offer, the East African Treasures Safari
is a magnificent journey through Kenya and Tanzania,
with luxuriously long stays in each game park, abundant
time for rich wildlife viewing sessions and five
exhilarating flights to expedite travel from one
game park to another. From the jaw-dropping majesty
of mountains like Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro
to the wildlife wonderlands of the Maasai Mara and
Ngorongoro Crater, The East African Treasures Safari
encompasses everything for which East Africa is
famous: magnificent scenery, stunning wildlife,
and breathtaking adventure. And all experienced
at a leisurely pace, creating warm memories to relive
for a lifetime.

Ngorongoro Crater
A
lovely drive takes us to Ngorongoro Crater, where
our lodge sits dramatically on the rim of the crater,
revealing an awesome panorama of the world’s
largest, unflooded and unbroken caldera. On our
second day, we descend into the crater and spend
the morning hours tracking animals. This magnificent
natural amphitheater is said to have the largest
concentration of animals in all of Africa, including
a high density of lions and thousands of flamingos.
The ever changing mood of this great amphitheater
will hold our attention every second.

Serengeti National Park
A
visit
is made to renowned Olduvai Gorge where the Leakey
family uncovered the fossil Homo habilis (the handy
man), the first tool user, who lived over 1.75 million
years ago. Then we reach the Serengeti, deep in
the heart of the largest and most diverse migration
corridor in the world. Wild beasts, creatures of
every size and description, flood the savannah in
droves…herds of mammoth elephant, the stately
giraffe and the lumbering rhino all mix together
alongside the more diminutive inhabitants…the
delicate antelope, bulky wildebeest and the comical
warthog. And we hope to see it all!

Day 11
– Day 12
Maasai Mara
We
fly to the Mara via Arusha and Nairobi, and here
we find the Old Africa of the movies, with rolling
grasslands dotted by acacia trees and sweeping plains
teeming with wildlife. No matter how much you have
thought about Africa, this is more than you expected—and
the ideal backdrop for a hot air balloon expedition.
During our stay we also visit a village of the Maasai
people to witness the singing and dancing that are
part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A
glimpse into their homes and social structure is
a poignant experience. But the greatest highlight
will be the stunning Bush Sundowners—a glorious
al fresco cocktail party overlooking the savannah
at sunset.
