Explore the itinerary

This explicitly replaces a low-review source, not an alias. The former shared eight-day migration trip becomes a private mid-range northern circuit with five newly specified stays, without retaining old flight or Kogatende-camp assumptions. Arusha NP appears only in overview wording and is not added. Ikona, Ndutu and accommodation outside Pololeti are distinguished. Confirm northern road access, river viewing, migration conditions, rooms and road conditions. Day seven sleeps near Manyara rather than adding a Natron night. Airport transfers are explicitly excluded; ARK narrative wording does not guarantee a free transfer. Current USD table totals include an US$18 local payment per person; it is not added twice.
