This concession covers over 20 000 hectares of Tanzanian wilderness characterised by vast grasslands dotted with ancient baobab trees and inhabited by diverse wildlife including herds of elephant, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, impalas, and over 400 species of bird. Visitors can look forward to dining under the African night sky, day and night wildlife safaris, and visiting a traditional Maasai village. Other popular activities including: horse riding, bird watching, fishing, guided bush walks, 4x4 trails, hiking, picnicking, and game drives.
Day 2 - 3: Chem Chem Lodge, Chem Chem Concession
These two days you will visit the elephant-filled Tarangire National Park. At a time convenient to you, you will depart from the park and make your way towards your lodge.
Day 4: andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas, Serengeti National Park
After breakfast and check out, you will meet your driver at the reception and from here it’s a short drive to the Manyara Airstrip. At this point you would say goodbye to your driver guide and board your scheduled service to the Serengeti National Park. On arrival into the Serengeti, you will be met by your Camp’s safari vehicle and driver guide. It’s a short game drive to And-beyond Serengeti Under Canvas Camp. On arrival you will be escorted to Reception, given a short safari briefing, before being shown your room. After lunch head out on your first game drive in the Serengeti National Park.
The Serengeti together with Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park form Africa’s most famous wildlife park. The image of acacia trees on an endless grass plain epitomises Africa for many, and then add a Masai warrior and some cattle to the picture, and the conversation need go no further. The annual wildebeest migration through the Serengeti and the Masai Mara is the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. But that is not where the game viewing ends; large prides of lions, elephants and giraffes in grasslands, gazelles and eland to mention but a few. Aside from traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Serengeti plains has become almost essential, and you can even do a horse riding safari.
Day 5 - 6: andBeyond Serengeti under Canvas, Serengeti National Park
Spend two full days looking for game while enjoying the magic that the Serengeti National Park has to offer. Early morning game drives are the best to catch the animals at their most active or just relax in the camp. Later, on your afternoon game drive, the chances to spot Africa’s famous Big Five abound, thanks to the park’s density of both predators and prey.
Day 7 - 9: Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar, Kendwa
