As Lion King fans will tell you, the Swahili phrase "hakuna matata" means 'no worries', and is an appropriate send-off as our trip departs from Kenya's capital Nairobi. We head across the Great Rift Valley, a huge trench in the Earth's surface caused by tectonic plates pulling apart, as we make for one of Africa's most famous game reserves, the Maasai Mara.DAYS 2-3 Maasai Mara - Nairobi. The 'Mara' is home to a huge range of wildlife and contains some of the most evocative and beautiful landscapes in Africa. We camp on the reserve's edge for two nights, heading in for morning and afternoon game drives in search of lion, antelope, elephant, cheetah and many more. Between July and October, we may be lucky enough to witness the immense annual migration of thousands of wildebeest and zebra. From the 'Mara' we return briefly to Nairobi.DAY 4 Nairobi to Arusha, Tanzania. We cross south into Tanzania and arrive in Arusha, a city mid-way between Cape Town and Cairo and the heart of Tanzania's safari industry. After browsing the fascinating markets we head to our camp outside town, from where we can visit the Meserani Snake Enclosure and visit a local Maasai village.DAYS 5-7 Serengeti National Park - Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha. Switching to 4x4 vehicles we head for an extraordinary 3 day, 2 night safari, driving via the Olduvai Gorge to the renowned Serengeti National Park, a vast reserve covering some 15,000km2 of predominantly open plains. Appropriately the name derives from the Maasai word Siringitu - 'the place where the land moves on forever'! After the Serengeti, we descend the inner walls of Ngorongoro Crater, an amazing habitat containing one of the most concentrated populations of wildlife anywhere in Africa. This is Africa's largest intact caldera and the view from crater rim to crater floor, 700m below, is staggering. We then return to Arusha for a night.DAYS 8-9 Arusha to Dar es Salaam. With supplies replenished, we drive in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro (5895m), stopping overnight in the Moshi / Pangani area en-route to the thriving port Dar es Salaam ('Haven of Peace') on the Indian Ocean coast.DAYS 10-12 Zanzibar. After catching our ferry from 'Dar' we spend three nights among the palm-fringed beaches, winding cobbled alleys and lush tropical forests of this idyllic island. Once the most important trading post in East Africa, Zanzibar was also a staging point for the slave trade and a base for 19th century explorers. The confluence of African and Arab cultures is visible everywhere, from the old slave markets to Stone Town's mosques. Don't forget to save time for the tropical northern beaches where snorkelling and diving are excellent!DAY 13 Dar es Salaam. Reluctantly returning to the mainland, our remarkable trip ends in Dar es Salaam.Dates & Prices 2012/13Ex.
