Route & Itinerary
3 Days / 2 Nights
1
Day 1: Kilimanjaro Airport View Lodge
Bush walk in Tanzania with experienced Masai guide. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will be met by a representative who will drive you to Kambi Ya Tembo Lodge. Here you will stay for the duration of your trip in the Kilimanjaro region. At the lodge, you will be welcomed into a private tented safari suite that has an en-suite bathroom with a built-in shower and boasts views of the endless savannah plains from a private veranda.
The lodge is situated on the edge of the Amboseli National Park, with views of the Amboseli flood plains, Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru peaks. The main lodge area has an expansive open air deck where alfresco meals can be enjoyed around a comforting camp fire.
Game drives in the Amboseli National Park take place alongside a trained guide in a specialized safari vehicle. The early morning drive lasts for approximately 2 - 3 hours. A trip to a local Maasai village in the late afternoon will introduce you to a new culture whose lifestyle remains unaltered, despite the changing times. The Maasai tribe maintains a simple lifestyle, following traditional ceremonies and clothed in colourful and decorative attire. Kambi Ya Tembo has formed a unique bond with the local people, who do not usually interact with tourists, through a community conservation project.
Adore the last few hours in the presence of a descending sun as you watch it disappear into the distant horizon. Indulge in sundowner cocktails and snacks as you witness this spectacular natural occurrence.

Our Travelers Say
We travelled with Falcon Safaris in Zimbabwe and Botswana for 16 days. Falcon designed a wonderful trip with private guide to the most interesting sites in both countries. The organization of the whole trip was excellent, flights within the country, accommodation and activites. The guides were very knowledgable and told us a lot about the countries, their history, people, economy and much more. We visited the Great Zimbabwe Ruins, the Victoria Falls Tour and a number of national parks in both countries.
Rhino tracking was a real adventure! We had tremendous further game drives and saw very many animals - we did the Big Five. We had much more Victoria Falls Activities than planned and enjoyed very much.We strongly recommend Falcon Safaris to everyone planning a trip to Southern Africa and East Africa.
Wonderful trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana with excellent organization and very competent guides
Our Consultant Vimbai was very helpful and accommodating. We stayed at the Elephant hills hotel which was nothing short of amazing.Our activities included a helicopter flight, dinner cruise as well as a morning game drive. All the activities were absolutely amazing.
Exceptional!
We worked with Gertrude to schedule and organize everything and she did an excellent job. I asked a lot of questions via e-mail and she answered everyone in a timely helpful manner. Our guide at Victoria Falls was also great. He met us at the airport, provided a thoughtful tour of the Falls and got us to our next guide in Botswana. Our lodgings at River View Lodge were just as described- very comfortable and excellent food. All the staff were so pleasant and helpful. If I had to do it again I would arrange a morning boat ride as well. We only did the sunset boat rides and they were the high point of our entire trip- we saw so many animals and our guide was very knowledgeable. Just a great experience. Our lodgings at Oddball's Enclave was rustic and we loved it. So great to disconnect from the world for a bit. Leo, our guide, was the best - got us out and about, saw fantastic wildlife and got back to camp safely each time. Doc manages the camp so well. This whole trip was planned and organized by Falcon Safaris and we could not have been happier.
Fabulous, well planned trip
Falcon safaris have given my the correct advice with excellent service. The only suggestion will be to work closer with the lodges to confirm bookings as soon as possible. We have booked and pay our deposit a year in advance. We have only receive our final convermation from Chobe Safari lodge a week before departure. I do realize its not within your controle but with limit alternatives and a group of 14 people it becomes an issue to find alternative accomodation if the booking was cancelled.
Excellent and efficient service
