Accommodation
We begin and end this East African adventure in hotels, spending one night in the centre of Nairobi and three nights relaxing in Zanzibar. We also spend nine nights camping, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the wild. Hotels Nairobi: Heron Hotel (night 1) We ease into the adventure with a stay at the Heron Hotel in the centre of Nairobi (unless youโre joining us tomorrow morning). If youโre itching to explore, tourist attractions such as Uhuru Park, Central Park and the Kenyatta Mausoleum are a short taxi-ride away. If not, the hotel has a heated pool, sauna and gym. Whatโs more, the Bashasha restaurant offers all-day dining with light meals and snacks, while the Mdalasini restaurant features a sunny patio and balcony and serves international dishes. Stone Town, Zanzibar: Shangani Hotel (night 11) Centrally located in Stone Town, this 24-room hotel is only a five-minute walk from the 17th-century Old Fort of Zanzibar. When youโre not out exploring, the hotel has a rooftop restaurant with views over the town and towards the Indian Ocean. Nungwi, Zanzibar: Crystal Beach Resort (nights 12-13) Just a few sandy-footed steps from Nungwi Beach, the Crystal Beach Resort is our spot to flop at the end of our adventure. The location is an obvious plus, but the property also has a garden, restaurant and bar, where you can relax and gather with the group and reminisce about the trip. Camping Camping on this trip is full-service, which means the tents are put up for you. All camping equipment (including mattresses) is provided except sleeping bags. Campsites in East Africa usually only have basic facilities โ bring your adventurous spirit! โ and there are no swimming pools at the campsites we use.

Transport
Transport is in a specialist overland vehicle. These are ideal vehicles for seeing Africa, being robust enough to cope with some of the inevitably bad and bumby roads and having good visibility for the excellent scenery and game parks. The seats are bucket seats and have some padding. They have seat belts. There is no air-con, but the windows open. The luggage is kept in lockers at the back of the truck and there are overhead racks. The truck carries all the necessary camping equipment and is equipped with a large drinking-water tank. We travel in 4x4 vehicles in Ngorongoro Crater. During the rainy season, a 4x4 may be used in the Masai Mara. The driving distances and times are as follows: Nairobi to Kembu Farm: 113mi (182km), 5hr 30min Nakuru to Masai Mara: 141mi (227km), nine hours Masai Mara to Lake Victoria: 192mi (310km), 10 hours or more, depending on the border crossing Lake Victoria to Serengeti: 118mi (190km), nine hours Serengeti to Ngorongoro: 84mi (135km), eight hours Ngorongoro to Arusha: 99mi (159km), eight hours
