CLASSIC SAFARI: KENYA & TANZANIA

August 8-24, 2018

An Exclusive Small Group Tour for Alumni & Friends of Duke University

Featuring Gary Gereffi, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Center on Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness

17 days for $9,396 total price from Boston, New York, Wash, DC($8,695 air, land, & safari inclusive plus $701 airline taxes and fees)

Page 2: CLASSIC SAFARI: KENYA & TANZANIA - alumni.duke.edu · a departure one day prior to the ... flight from Masai Mara to Nairobi • 14 nights ... Travel to the Ngorongoro Classic Safari:

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Nairobi, Kenya Depend-ing on flight schedules, certain U.S. cities may require a departure one day prior to the listed schedule below.

Day 2: Arrive Nairobi After arriving in Nairobi, we transfer to our hotel. As arrival times may vary greatly, we have no group activities or meals planned.

Day 3: Nairobi We see highlights of Kenya’s cosmopolitan capital city today, stopping for a tour of the Karen Blixen Museum, the one-time home of the Danish writer who, as Isak Dinesen, wrote Out of Africa. We also visit the Giraffe Centre, which pro-vides nature education to Kenyan schoolchildren and where we see several of the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe here up close. Late this afternoon we return to our hotel, where we enjoy a welcome dinner tonight. B,D

Day 4: Nairobi/Amboseli This morning we travel by mini-bus to Amboseli National Park in the shadow of snowcapped Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Maasai’s “white mountain” and the world’s tallest free-standing mountain at 19,336 feet. Known for its large elephant population, Amboseli boasts wide, dry plains also teeming with herds of wildebeest, zebra, impala, and giraffe – as we may see on this after-noon’s wildlife drive. Dinner tonight is at our lodge, as are all meals throughout our stay. B,L,D

Day 5: Amboseli Early this morning we visit a nearby Maasai village to meet the people before they leave to tend their cattle, and to see everyday life up close. Then we return to our lodge for lunch and time to relax in this comfortable setting beneath a copse of feathered acacia trees in the foothills of Kili-manjaro. Later: an afternoon wildlife drive. B,L,D

Day 6: Amboseli/Lake Manyara Leaving Amboseli this morning, we cross the border into Tanzania at Namanga. We have lunch at a local restaurant in Arusha, and late this afternoon we reach peaceful Lake Manyara National Park, one of Tanzania’s small- est and most diverse parks. Bordered by the dramatic Western Escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara is notable for its abundant birdlife, diverse

O n safari … it’s one of the most alluring phrases in all of travel. And Kenya and Tanzania count among the most alluring places to be “on safari.” As our small

group travels from grasslands to highlands, to reserves and national parks, we enjoy intimate wildlife drives, see stupendous landscapes, stay in excellent accommodations, and meet gracious local people.

Tour membership limited to 18 alumni and friends

vegetation, tree-climbing lions, and hippos. We take an afternoon wildlife drive. B,L,D

Day 7: Lake Manyara Lake Manyara offers the essence of Tanzania’s safari experience. Along with the lake itself, the park boasts a varied ecosystem of forest, grassy floodplain, and acacia woodland that attracts herds of plains animals, plus hippo, monkeys, and baboons. On today’s two wildlife drives, we get another taste of this incredibly diverse landscape and wildlife. B,L,D

Day 8: Lake Manyara/Ngorongoro Conservation Area After a morning wildlife drive and lunch at our lodge, we depart for spectacular Ngorongoro, a UNESCO Conservation Area, International Biosphere Reserve, and site of Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. On the crater’s floor is Africa in microcosm: grassland, swampland, lakes, forests, mountains, and unparalleled wildlife, including the rare black rhino, hippo, wildebeest, zebra, eland, gazelle, and black-maned lion. B,L,D

Day 9: Ngorongoro Crater On our morning tour of the 100-square-mile crater we have our only chance to see all of Africa’s “Big Five” – elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, and leopard – in one place. The afternoon is at leisure to relax at our lodge on the crater’s rim. B,L,D

Day 10: Ngorongoro/Serengeti National Park We’re bound today for the Serengeti, the Maasai’s 5,700-square-mile “endless plain” and one of the world’s last great wildlife refuges. En route we visit Olduvai Gorge, where in 1959 anthropologist Mary Leakey discovered the skull of Australopithecus boisei – revolutionizing the study of human evolution. Reaching our lodge, we embark on an afternoon wildlife drive. B,L,D

We visit a Maasai village to learn about their culture.

Day 11: Serengeti Twice a year, some 1.3 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebra, and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle migrate to new grazing lands between Masai Mara and the Serengeti, sparking one of nature’s most spectacular sights. But the Serengeti’s vast treeless plains teem with animal life year-round, and this is the best place to see lion and cheetah up close. Perhaps we will on today’s two wildlife drives. B,L,D

Day 12: Serengeti/Masai Mara We leave Tanza-nia today, crossing into Kenya and continuing on to Masai Mara, Kenya’s – and Africa’s – premier wildlife reserve, rich with animal life and traditional homeland of the native Maasai people. Known especially for the annual migration that sees some two million wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson’s gazelle migrate here from the Serengeti, the Mara sits in the Great Rift Valley and comprises 583 square miles of vast plains, acacia forests, grass-covered hills, and slow-flowing rivers. We embark on our first wildlife drive this afternoon as we enter the national park en route to our tented camp. B,L,D

Day 13: Masai Mara We spend today “on safari,” venturing out on early morning and late afternoon wildlife drives during prime viewing hours to glimpse some of the lion, leopard, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, gazelle, wildebeest, elephant, buffalo, hippo, rhino, and other wildlife that call the Mara home. B,L,D

Day 14: Masai Mara Again today we’re “on safari,” with morning and afternoon wildlife drives in this preserve that is just slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island. When not out in the bush, we are at leisure to enjoy the amenities of our luxury tented camp, including a spa and swimming pool. B,L,D

Day 15: Masai Mara/Nairobi Late this morn-ing we fly to Nairobi, re-entering the urban world. Tonight we toast our safari adventure at a farewell dinner. B,L,D

Day 16: Nairobi/Depart for U.S. After a morning at leisure, we transfer to the Nairobi airport and board our connecting flight to the U.S. B

Day 17: Arrive U.S. We reach the U.S. this morning and connect with our flights home.

Travel from grassland plains to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro; from the world’s largest intact volcanic crater to the edge of the Rift Valley, enjoying wildlife drives and up-close encounters with remarkable animals.
