HIGHLIGHTS: Game and Adrenalin Overland Safari
ITINERARY: Game and Adrenalin Overland Safari Day 1: Our journey starts in Entebbe, the former Colonial capital of Uganda on the shores of Lake Victoria. Day 2 - 4: Our first stop is Jinja the Adventure Capital of East Africa. Jinja is situated at the source of the longest river in the World - the mighty Nile River. A perfect place to relax and enjoy a cold beer while overlooking the Nile. Jinja is a paradise for adrenalin junkies - white water rafting, quad-biking, bungee jumping and horse-riding. There is also the option to spend the day with Soft Power Community Project, an opportunity to explore the real rural Africa. We spend 3 nights in Jinja to ensure you have enough time to indulge in the activities you desire. Day 5 - 6: Crossing into Kenya our journey continues through the Kenyan western highlands, this area is famous for producing Olympic running champions. We make our way along the top of the Rift Valley, stopping enroute to take photos of the largest Valley in the World (6,000km!). We take a long and relaxing game drive through Nakuru Game Park famous for white Rhino, leopard, and flamingoes. The park also has giraffe, warthogs, lions, buffalo, zebra, antelope, numerous bird species and baboons. The central point of the park is Lake Nakuru, littered with thousands of pink flamingoes – the perfect back drop for a group photo. Day 7: We arrive back in Nairobi in time to shower and pull our going out clothes out of our backpacks and get ready for a night of feasting and dancing at the world famous Carnivores Restaurant (followed by a mandatory visit to Carnivores Nightclub!). Day 8: We spend the day visiting the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. The baby elephants are allowed out to play every morning, an hour of entertainment watching the babies play in mud pools, kick a soccer ball around and slurp massive bottles of formula. This not a zoo but a place where orphaned elephants are bought and hand-reared before being re-educated and released back into the wild to start their own families. It is possible to adopt a baby elephant or rhino - the perfect gift for animal lovers back home. After lunch, how about hand feeding Rothschild giraffes at the Nairobi Giraffe Centre? Amazing photo opportunities from the custom built platform (eye level to the giraffes!). Rothschild Giraffes are rare in East Africa with only a few left in some of Kenya’s northern parks. The centre not only boasts friendly giraffes but also an extensive education centre. Day 9 - 12: Heading south crossing into Tanzania we pass the snow cap peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free standing mountain in Africa. We arrive at Meserani in time to visit a traditional Maasai Village and Cultural Centre. We setup camp at Meserani Snake Park, famous for its reptiles and shooters!!! The following morning we pack our bags and depart in small 4x4 vehicles on safari to the worlds most documented and photographed game parks - the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater. The Serengeti is the most famous game park in all of Africa, and after spending some time there you will know why. The Ngorogoro Crater has been compared to Noah’s Ark and the Garden of Eden, an incredible 20km wide volcanic crater littered with lion, rhino, buffalo, elephant, zebra, and wildebeest – just to name a few. We spend 3 days in the wild savannah plains amongst the African Big 5 wildlife in two of the most famous game parks in Africa. Our days are spent game driving and photographing wildlife like: lion, leopard, wildebeest, rhino, warthog, cheetah, gazelle, zebra, giraffe, elephants, buffalo, hartebeest, reedbuck plus many more. If we are lucky we may also spot the African Little 5. As the sun goes down we make camp amongst the wildlife, eat a hearty meal and fall asleep listening to the sounds of Africa. Your reservation awaits you at the 1000000 star Hotel (the breath taking African skies). Day 13: Our journey ends back in Nairobi after a short drive through the Maasai plains of Tanzania and Kenya.
