Journey into the heart of East Africa and go off the beaten path to
learn about the culture, people, and wildlife of Tanzania. Marvel at a
vast and unspoiled landscape under the equatorial sun and enjoy
comfortable tented camps and small lodges, beautifully situated for
their proximity to the seasonal concentrations of wildlife. Begin in
Enashiva, a nature refuge in the Loliondo area just east of Serengeti
National Park, and a model for community-based tourism. With
multiple Maasai villages nearby there will be opportunities to visit
homes, talk with people, and learn about challenges facing the people
today. We will go on game drives — both day and night. Drive to the
Serengeti, spending the days amidst untamed wilderness where lion,
cheetah, warthog, and millions of hoofed animals roam. Travel to the
lush and verdant Ngorongoro Crater, a massive caldera inhabited by
rhinoceros, elephant, and black-maned lion. En route, visit Olduvai
Gorge, the site of the Leakey family's remarkable discoveries. We
spend the last two nights at Gibbs Farm, a peaceful sanctuary
surrounded by breath-taking scenery.
