Daily Itinerary

 ITINERARY 1: PART ONE (SAFARI Only - 8 days Total)
​
DAY 1: Arrival
You will fly into Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) near Arusha, Tanzania where the Zagas Explorer staff will meet and escort you to your hotel in Arusha. You will have some time to yourself to relax at the hotel before dinner, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the rest of the group, your private yoga instructor and some of the guides for your trip. Overnight stay at The African Tulip
DAY 2: Masai Boma
In the morning after breakfast, your guides will pick you up at the hotel and you will travel to a rural Maasai village outside of Arusha. The Maasai are one of the oldest and largest tribes in Tanzania known for their rich culture and traditional ways of life. You will learn about their lives and dynamic relationship with the land and wildlife. After an afternoon yoga and meditation session in the village (weather permitting), you will travel to Maramboi Tented Lodge where you will have dinner and prepare for the first day of your safari.
DAY 3: Tarangire National Park
After breakfast you will travel to one of Tanzania’s most spectacular parks, Tarangire. Often compared to Serengeti, Tarangire is known for its wide-open savannas which are a sanctuary for wildlife – most notably its herds of elephants. After lunch in the park and some more time exploring, you will head back to Maramboi Tented Camp where you can join an afternoon yoga and meditation session, go for a swim, and have dinner.
DAY 4: Lake Manyara National Park
After breakfast you will head to Mto WA Mbu, a town just outside Lake Manyara National Park at the base of the Rift Valley escarpment. Today, you’ll have the option of spending half of the day joining either a walking or biking tour around the town. In the afternoon you will start your journey to Serengeti, stopping to overnight at Ngorongoro Farm House on your way.
DAY 5: En-route to Serengeti 
In the morning you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a yoga session before breakfast. You will then continue on your journey, passing through Ngorongoro Conservation Area on the way to Serengeti where you’ll arrive in the early afternoon. Hailed as the premier safari destination and home to the annual migration of over a million wildebeest, Serengeti offers prime opportunities to view breathtaking vistas teeming with wildlife. You will continue on a half-day game drive to your overnight location, Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge overlooking the plains of Serengeti. Upon arriving at camp, you'll have the option of joining a sunset yoga and meditation session before dinner. 
DAY 6: Serengeti National Park
In the morning you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a yoga session before breakfast. Then head out for a full-day game drive, stopping for lunch in the park. Today, there will be the option of heading back to camp early to spend time relaxing by the pool or joining a special afternoon yoga and meditation session with a view of the Serengeti plains. If you choose to continue on the game drive you’ll return to Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge in time for dinner and a relaxing evening.
DAY 7: En-route to Ngorongoro 
In the morning you’ll have the option of joining an early morning yoga session before breakfast. After breakfast, you'll head back out on your final game drive in Serengeti. Around lunchtime you will make your way out of Serengeti heading towards Ngorongoro Conservation Area where you will overnight at Lake Masek Tented Lodge before visiting the famed Ngorongoro Crater the next day. At camp you will have the opportunity to join a sunset yoga and meditation session before dinner.
DAY 8: Ngorongoro Crater 
Early in the morning you’ll have the option of joining a sunrise yoga session. Following an early breakfast you will embark on the final day of safari, which will take you to Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact caldera. Your safari drive will follow the road along the rim of the crater, affording breathtaking views across the 100 sq. mile crater floor 2000 feet below, and then descend to the crater floor. The steep walls of the crater and verdant floor serves as a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest populations of large mammals, including a few rhinoceros. Ascending the crater in the afternoon, you will travel back to Arusha where, for those on the full 13-day retreat, you will be able to join an evening yoga session before dinner and overnight at your Arusha hotel. If you are on the 8-day safari retreat, after returning to town you will head to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight home.
