Siringit Villa: 1 Night

With Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru standing guard on the horizon, and the endless plains of Tanzania undulating into the distance, a stay in Siringit Villa is the ultimate safari experience. This exclusive retreat is a stepping stone for wild adventures, a natural haven in its own right, and lies within convenient distance of bustling Arusha. For luxury downtime between wildlife spotting, the elegant design and welcoming cool of this beautiful villa shouldn’t be missed. The villa’s six spacious bedrooms have breezy balconies for nature watching on the fly, and stunning views of the towering mountains and lush gardens. Pool, parasols, alfresco dining and luxury loungers ensure the great outdoors is enjoyed in comfort and style, while candle-lit bathrooms and canopied beds promise evenings of peace and slumber.

Take a scheduled light aircraft flight to Manyara Airstrip. On arrival at the airstrip, you will be met by our representative who will transfer you to Lake Manyara Tree Lodge with game drive enroute. Lake Manyara National Park offers a wilderness experience in diverse habitats, from its Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Apart from a spectacular setting, the park is famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions and the vast elephant herds it was established to protect.

The shores of the lake, encrusted with pink flamingo, attract more than 400 species of birds, many of them waterfowl or migrants. Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives through this diverse habitat to look for tree climbing lions. Explore areas of the park that cannot be reached by day visitors and are undisturbed by others. You will traverse a mosaic of acacia woodlands, grassy floodplains and tall forest in search of wildlife.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge: 2 Nights

Lake Manyara National Park offers a true wilderness experience in diverse habitats, from its Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Cradled in the boughs of an ancient mahogany forest, Lake Manyara Tree Lodge blends into the natural beauty of its breathtaking surroundings.

Nine stilted treehouse suites, crafted from local timber and makuti palm fronds, weave a sophisticated blend of intimacy and romance, offering privacy and exclusivity in the cool, leafy surroundings, with elephant visitors passing through. Designed to exert minimal impact on the environment and provide a tranquil haven, the Lodge offers an exclusive interpretive safari in a more remote area of the National Park. Gentle Tanzanian hospitality is exuded from the team, who have a passion for delighting guests, whether you are on honeymoon or a family safari.

After breakfast, return to the local airstrip for your schedule flight to the famous Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park is one of the world's most celebrated wilderness areas. Tanzania's oldest game reserve, it is renowned for the part it plays in the annual Great Migration - an epic, seasonal journey that is a deeply moving experience. Imagine vast expansive plains with endless horizons, seas of pale yellow grass rippling in the warm breeze, gnarled acacias twisting to the sky and vultures circling on thermals overhead. On this idyllic spot amid the Serengeti is where you will spend your days while staying at Siringit Serengeti Camp. Located near the Seronera Airstrip and just an hour’s drive from Nabi Hill, the gateway to the Serengeti National Park for guests arriving by road. The famous Hippo pool, the Serengeti Research Center and the departure point for balloon safaris are just around the corner.

Siringit Serengeti Camp

Siringit Serengeti Camp: 2 Nights

Siringit Serengeti Camp offers a bespoke safari experience in the heart of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The camp is located just 6km east of Seronera Airstrip and one hour’s drive from the Nabi Hill entrance to the Serengeti National Park. The ten exclusive luxury canvas tents are designed to offer guests privacy, seclusion and intimacy in the remote setting of the Serengeti plains. Each tent is designed to offer an untamed immersive experience bringing you closer to the wildlife. The spacious tents have ensuite bathrooms with steaming hot showers heated by solar. There are a few rare places on this earth where you can enjoy a safari picnic shaded by an Acacia tree whilst surrounded by the great migration or forest bathing in a yellow fever forest surrounded by the abundance of nature. Safari picnics can vary in style, from an elegant romantic picnic basket to fine dining under an Acacia tree in the middle of the Serengeti plains.

After breakfast, transfer back to Seronera Airstrip for your return flight to Manyara. On arrival you will be met and helped transfer to Ngorongoro Melia Lodge via road. A unique safari destination, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to more than 30 000 protected animals. The Ngorongoro Crater, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in existence. Nearly three million years old, it shelters one of the world's most beautiful wildlife havens. Black rhino are protected within its rim, giant tusked elephants wander the forests, black-maned lion stalk the grasslands and flamingo crowd the soda lakes.

Ngorongoro Lodge Melia

Ngorongoro Lodge Melia: 2 Nights

The new and pleasingly boutiquey Ngorongoro Lodge achieves a sense of soothing sanctuary – pale wood and hand-woven rugs amid splashes of colourful local artwork and traditional African motifs. Its 28 rooms and 24 luxury suites are decorated with uplifting Maasai artwork, minimalist roomy en-suite bathrooms, and show-stopping panorama windows onto the verdant caldera. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to relax and soak up the Ngorongoro Conservation Area’s endless landscapes (and, if you’re inclined to share with the folks at home, there’s Wi-Fi throughout). We’re never ones to forget that holidays are, well, a little holy – so time for The Spa, the 24-hour gym, lolling in the gorgeous outdoor pool, or browsing beautiful locally sourced items in the boutique is a given. Two gourmet restaurants feature international, African and Asian influenced cuisine, a barbeque area and, for those who yearn for an evening in with their own private panorama, attentive room service is at the ready.

Return to Manyara Airstrip, where you will board a flight to Arusha Airport. A member of our team will be waiting to take you to Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your safari with us will end.
