On the way, we stop at Olduvai Gorge, known as the cradle of humanity, to visit the museum, listen to a lecture about the archaeological findings, and take a short guided walk to the locations where remains were found. We then continue the drive to Serengeti with the possibility of seeing the game on the route.

Leave the lodge for a dawn game drive, then drive back for a late breakfast leave. These very early morning game drives can be impressive.

After breakfast, we drive to Mto wa Mbu, a bustling and colourful small town with a market and women selling various local fruits on the roadside. There you can walk around the village with a local guide visiting rice and banana plantations, the local market, the primary school, ad an orphanage. We recommend you also visit one of the local families licensed to prepare lunches for tourists. IN a welcome shady lean-to in their garden, you can experience a most beautiful lunch with many different vegetables and various meats. After lunch, you visit a Maasai boma for a traditional dance and cultural experience. Towards evening we will drive you back to Arusha at the agreed drop-off point.
