Safari Description

Your adventure begins with an overnight stay ar Rivertrees Lodge near Arusha, allowing time to unwind after your international arrival. From here, light aircraft transfers whisk you into the heart of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you spend two nights at a spectacular lodge, Entamanu Ngorongoro perched on the crater rim. Game drives into the Ngorongoro Crater reveal one of Africa’s most concentrated wildlife habitats, from large prides of lion to black rhino on the crater floor.

Next, you fly on to the Serengeti, spending three nights immersed in one of the world’s most iconic wildernesses. Your stay is timed and located to maximise wildlife viewing, particularly during the Great Migration when vast herds move across the plains. A luxury mobile camp, Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge,  allows you to be positioned close to the action, offering exceptional game viewing paired with an intimate safari atmosphere.

The journey concludes with a flight to Zanzibar., where three nights on the island’s palm-fringed shores provide the perfect contrast to your safari. Here, the rhythm slows with time to swim, snorkel, and relax beside the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean before your onward journey home.
