WILDLIFE SAFARI TO TANZANIA About this safari: This wildlife safari is specifically designed to take full advantage of the Serengeti wildlife migration and visit a variety of East Africa s wildlife habitats, each with its unique community of birds and mammals, scenic attractions, and cultural components. Your means of transportation is in customized 4-wheel drive safari vehicles with a guaranteed window seat and access to the roof hatch for all participants. Physical activities: The pace of this safari is moderate and should not be excessively demanding for most. Stays at most locations are of more than one night, which allows time to experience the place, relax and even sit out a game drive or two. On most days there are options for both morning and afternoon game drives. On some mornings it may be advantageous to depart early and return to the safari camp for breakfast. On other days you may chose to take lunch with you and spend the entire day out. Afternoon game drives usually begin about 3:00 PM and may last until dark. Your Tanzania Naturalist Guides: Each safari is accompanied by one or more professional driver / guides. These men and women are graduates of an extensive and ongoing training program that includes courses in natural history and African culture and history. They are carefully selected for their knowledge, temperament and ability to communicate. In addition they have had several years of on the job training and have advanced to their current position because they have successfully led numerous wildlife safaris and demonstrated their ability as charismatic, knowledgeable and resourceful leaders. Accommodations: Our safari makes use of exclusive, luxury wildlife lodges and tented camps. In addition to enhancing the feel of the traditional East Africa safari, the tented camp provides all of the comforts of the lodges but offer far less crowded conditions and more personalized services. We expect you to savor your trip to East Africa for the rest of your life and believe the private tented camp offers the most intimate safari experience. Environmental Sensitivity and Conservation Commitment: Environmentally sensitive travel to East Africa s parks and cultural centers is an important aspect of the country s long-range challenge, to manage its wealth of wildlife in a sustainable manner, and to utilize its resources in a way that will create optimum living conditions for all its inhabitants. A portion of the proceeds from this Tanzania wildlife safari program are donated to the Foundation for Wildlife Conservation. Additional donations are designated for other conservation projects underway in Tanzania and the tax revenues generated by our safaris are used to improve schools, roads and hospitals.

On arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport near Arusha, you clear customs, claim your luggage, meet your safari guides and transfer to your accommodations at the historic Lake Duluti Lodge. DAY 3 MONDAY MAY 18 ARUSHA / TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK In the morning you drive to Tarangire National Park. Upon entering the park you begin to see wildlife and also the many baobab trees which thrive in this area. These large, pulpy trees, scattered in ones and twos throughout the park, may be as old as California redwoods and can branch out as Kikoti Safari Camp much as 30 feet in diameter. Tarangire is best known for its herds of fringe-eared oryx as well as numerous elephant the park is a seasonal home for about 3,000 of these large, gentle creatures. In addition, there are many impala, African buffalo, and rarer mammals, such as wild dog, leopard and lesser kudu. Goliath heron, woodland kingfisher, magpie shrike, both Fischer s and yellowcollared love-birds, orange-bellied parrot, bateleur eagle, secretary bird, Maasai ostrich, kori bustard, beautiful sunbird and paradise whydah are but a few of the birds you can expect to see in this sanctuary where more than 300 species have been listed. Your days are filled with wildlife viewing, and you spend the next two nights at Safari Legacy s Maisha Kikoti Safari Camp where you will enjoy a bush lunch, guided nature walk, sundowner and an evening game drive. B/L/D

4 DAY 4 TUESDAY, MAY 19 - TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK You spend the day exploring Tarangire National Park famous for its numerous baobab trees and large elephant population. The park derives its name from the Tarangire River which, during the dry season, is the only source of water for a vast area. During the months of June through October it becomes a sand river with almost no surface water. Although most animals are incapable, by themselves, of reaching the water that still flows under the sand, elephants are expert well diggers and it is on these water holes that Tarangire s wildlife depends. As in other ecosystems, vegetation type and animal species are closely related and it is the Photo- Safari Legacy diversity of habitats that makes Tarangire such a superb wildlife conservation area. The principal vegetation zones here include grasslands, floodplains, riparian areas along the Tarangire River, Acacia-Commiphora woodlands and rocky outcroppings, each with its unique component of wildlife. Your meals and overnight accommodations are at Kikoti Safari Camp. B/L/D DAY 5 WEDNESDAY, MAY 20 TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK / MTO WA MBU VILLAGE Following breakfast you drive to the village of Mto-wa-Mbu which is located on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Here you join a local guide who introduces you to the medical, agricultural and cultural practices of this diverse community. You also stop at a wood carver s and artists guild where craftsmen sculpture ebony and mahogany masterpieces and painters produce their Tingatinga art. After a traditional lunch, prepared by the women of the village, you ascend into the Ngorongoro highlands and check into your accommodations at the Country Lodge. B/L/D DAY 6 THURSDAY, MAY 21 NGORONGORO CRATER After an early breakfast you depart with a picnic lunch for a full day s game drive on the Crater floor. Ngorongoro is the largest unbroken crater on earth, and a veritable Garden of Eden. The year-round grazing and fresh water available here provides a permanent home for approximately 23,000 large mammals. Herds of wildebeest, common zebra, African buffalo and Thomson's gazelle mingle as they feed in this serene setting. With almost 100 lions, masses of spotted hyena, and numerous golden, silver-backed, and side-striped jackals, the crater also has the highest concentration of carnivores of any place on earth. Leopard and cheetah occur here, but are not commonly seen. In the lakes and marshes you look for Nile hippo, common waterbuck, black rhino and any of the 220 species of birds that have been seen here, including greater and lesser flamingos. In the afternoon you return to the Country Lodge. B/PL/D DAY 7 FRIDAY MAY 22 NGORONGORO CRATER / OLDUVAI GORGE & MAASAI VILLAGE / SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK After breakfast you descend from the Crater highlands into the great alter-crater where Maasai cattle mingle freely with zebra and eland. As you crest the rim of the crater all of Africa seems to come into view. This is the great Serengeti, the grande dame of all African game parks, a huge expanse of grass that was once a great inland sea. After descending from the crater rim you stop at Olduvai Gorge, one of the world's most important prehistoric archaeological sites. It was here, in 1959, that Mary Leakey discovered the fossilized bone fragments of one of our earliest hominid ancestors. Several of the fossils, which have been found here, are displayed in a small, but nice museum at the Olduvai Visitors Center. (Although most frequently written as "Olduvai," the more correct spelling for the name of this area is "Oldupai," a Maasai name for a species of wild sisal, which grows abundantly in the area.) In the afternoon you drive across the great Serengeti plains, game viewing along the way to your accommodations, for the next two nights, at the Mbuzi Mawe Tented Camp. B/PL/D

5 DAY 8 SATURDAY MAY 23 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (CENTRAL SERENGETI) You explore this vast wildlife sanctuary with morning and afternoon games drives. In addition to wildlife, the area is rich in human history and you may visit one or more of the sacred Maasai sites, such as Gong Rock or some ancient cave paintings. Soon after gaining its independence from Great Britain, and with the support of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, Tanzania s government made several landmark decisions regarding their natural heritage. Today more than 40% of its total land area is protected in one form or another. Accordingly, Tanzania ranks as one of the most wildlife conservation oriented countries on earth. B/L/D DAYS 9 AND 10 SUNDAY AND MONDAY MAY 24 & 25 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK (WESTERN SERENGETI) Following breakfast you drive west to an area, near the Bologonja and Grumeti Rivers, through which, at this time of the year, the migratory herds of wildebeest, zebra, eland and Thompson s gazelle past as they travel south from Kenya s Maasai Mara Game Reserve to the Serengeti s short grass plains. In addition to the migratory animals, the grasslands near these water sources provide a habitat for herds of Grant s gazelle, topi, Maasai giraffe, African buffalo and warthog and the riparian forests that flank the river are home to vervet monkeys, olive baboons and numerous birds. After moving into your tented accommodation you gather for an afternoon tea and lecture / discussion regarding the Serengeti Mara ecosystem and the great migration. Your accommodations for these two nights are at Mbalageti Tented Camp. B/L/D DAY 11 TUESDAY MAY 26 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK / ARUSHA / DEPART Your morning game drive provides a final opportunity to spend time with Serengeti s wildlife. Later in the morning you transfer to a nearby airstrip and board the 1- hour flight back to Arusha. Following lunch at the Cultural Heritage Center you check into day rooms at the Lake Duluti Lodge. The remainder of the day is unstructured providing time to shop, or rest in preparation for your return to the U.S. In the evening you join your Tanzanian hosts for a farewell dinner before departing for the Kilimanjaro Airport.

6 RWANDA POST-SAFARI EXTENSION May 26-29, 2015 For most people Rwanda brings to mind the dreadful genocide of 1994 during which nearly a million people were brutally murdered. Although the genocide is a regrettable part of its history, today Rwanda is a united, proud and optimistic country that warmly welcomes visitors and offers a truly memorable and inspiring safari experience. Observing a wild gorilla family in its natural habitat and on its terms is considered, by many naturalists, to be one of the most profound natural history experiences in the world. DAY 1 TUESDAY MAY 26 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARI / KIGALI, RWANDA Following a morning game drive you transfer to the Kirawira Airstrip and board the scheduled flight to Kigali via Mwanza. Following your arrival at the Kigali Airport you are met by your Rwanda safari guides and transferred to your accommodations at the Flame Tree Village. B/L/D DAY 2 WEDNESDAY, MAY 27 KIGALI / GORILLA MOUNTAIN VIEW LODGE Following breakfast you join your Rwanda safari guide for a city tour and optional visit to the Genocide Museum which has been constructed on one of the sites where mass killings occurred. Today it serves as a sobering reminder of our fragile society and how badly things can become when we fail to work and live together. In the afternoon you depart on a scenic three hour drive over good roads and through a lush and rolling countryside towards the Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park). Your accommodations for the next two nights are at Gorilla View Lodge. The lodge has comfortable, nicely appointed rooms with modern bathrooms and hot water. It has a spacious restaurant with a large bar and reception area and friendly service. On a clear day the views, from the lodge, of the volcanoes and surrounding hills are spectacular. B/L/D DAY 3 THURSDAY, MAY 28 PARC NATIONAL DES VOLCANS / GORILLA TREK After an early breakfast you drive to the Parc National des Volcanas (Volcanoes National Park), one of the last refuges of the mountain gorilla. Here the volcanic massif ranges in altitude from 8,500 to 11,000 feet above sea level. Its densely forested slopes are dominated by Hagenia trees with twisted trunks and lichen covered low branches. The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the most endangered primates in the world. Fewer than 700 of these magnificent animals still cling to a fragile existence in small, protected patches of

7 rainforest in northwest Rwanda, southwest Uganda and the eastern corner of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Following your arrival at the park headquarters you are briefed by one of the park rangers before setting out in search of gorillas. During the next two days you visit different groups of habituated gorillas. Well-trained guides lead you to the site where a gorilla family was encountered the previous day and from this point you track them to their current location. The trek can take between one and six hours, at altitudes in excess in 8,500 feet, up steep and muddy sloops and over rough terrain. Although the hike may be demanding, the anticipation of the exciting experience ahead is invigorating and the beauty of the forest and its inhabitants fascinating. Observing a wild gorilla family in its natural habitat and on its terms is considered, by many naturalists, to be one of the most profound natural history experiences in the world. Each strictly regulated 60-minute visit passes all too quickly and you must depart, leaving the gorillas to their fragile existence. After a visit with the gorillas you return to the park headquarters, rejoin your drivers and return with them to Gorilla View Lodge. B/L/D DAY 4 FRIDAY, MAY 28 - PARC NATIONAL DES VOLCANS GORILLA TREK / KIGALI / DEPART Today you have a second opportunity to trek into the Parc National des Volcanas and spend another hour with a gorilla family. After lunch and an opportunity to clean up at Gorilla Mountain View Lodge you drive back to the Kigali airport and check in for your international flights. B/L/D Please Note: International air from the Kigali International Airport has not been included in the cost of this safari. Please call World Discovery Safaris ( ) if you would like our help shopping for international air. DAY 5 SATURDAY, MAY 29 ARRIVE U.S. B = Breakfast; L = Lunch; PL= Picnic lunch; D = Dinner *Internal tickets issued by Safari Legacy Please note: The treks to see and observe gorillas can be physically demanding. Accordingly we suggest you carefully evaluate your physical condition before registering for this extension. No one under age 15 is permitted to trek gorillas. Photo- Richard Mills
