Idyllically situated amidst a rolling coffee plantation, Arusha Coffee Lodge offers a gentle introduction to Tanzania. You'll be met at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transferred to the lodge by road, where each of the bungalows are set amongst the coffee vines. Monkeys swing through the surrounding greenery, while bush babies and tropical birds call from the treetops. Relax in your spacious en-suite room and savor the views from your private balcony. Then enjoy some of the freshest coffee on the planet, straight from the plantation to your cup.
After breakfast, you will transfer to JRO airport for your flight to Tarangire National Park. You will be met and transferred to Sanctuary Swala Camp. Situated in a secluded area of Tarangire, Sanctuary Swala offers privacy, exclusivity, and a unique harmony with nature. Each en-suite tent is unashamedly luxurious, featuring comfortable beds, plush sofas, and indoor and outdoor showers. They're also opulently furnished with traditional materials. Raised on stilts above the savannah, the spacious tents have private viewing decks which gaze down on Tarangire's unique world. Elephant herds roam past the camp, a giraffe's distinct shape is silhouetted against a slow burning sunset, while a lion pride approaches for a drink. A spectacular infinity swimming pool also overlooks the waterhole, while a personal attendant will attend to every one of your needs.
After a sumptous breakfast, you will transfer to the nearby airstrip and fly off to Serengeti National Park. On arrival you will be met by your local guide and transferred to Serengeti Migration Camp. The Sanctuary Serengeti Migration Camp offers the most authentic immersion into this animal world. Private tented camps are pitched in hand selected wildlife areas, offering an intimate bush experience that doesn't leave any footprints on the environment. These four days will offer a breathtakingly authentic experience in Africa's game-filled wilderness, while also providing luxury and comfort. Morning footprints beside the camp suggest that a leopard was nearby. A huge bull elephant slowly approaches, ears flapping as it wanders past. Thompson's gazelle and wildebeest munch on the fresh grass that surrounds the tent, tentatively coming closer when they learn that you're not a threat. With sights, sounds, and smells, your private camp offers a multi-dimensional experience that very few others have experienced.
On a private charter flight, you'll fly over the endless grass plains of the Serengeti, heading to Singita Grumeti Reserve in the north west of Tanzania. Adjacent to the Serengeti, this enormous private concession is integral to the Great Wildebeest Migration and offers a luxurious safari experience. Every year, over two million mammals migrate across this land, heading north for the rich grasses of the Maasai Mara. Great herds dot the plains with tens of thousands of wildebeest marching together and leaving a swirling trail of dust behind them. Zebras and Thompson's gazelle join them, trying to keep their distance from the predators that trail behind.
Each cottage at the Singita Sasakwa Lodge has a private infinity pool that gazes out onto the Serengeti, a landscape that the Maasai call “the land that stretches forever.” Mixing traditional African influences with stately luxury, your private cottage includes a four poster bed, deep verandahs, high ceilings, and never-ending views. You'll be fully experiencing your own piece of Africa.
After eight exhilarating days on safari, you'll be transported to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. Surrounded by calm Indian Ocean waters, Mnemba Island is just one mile in circumference. Traditional wooden dhows drift along the horizon, coconut palm trees line irresistibly white sand, while the tropical forest hides just ten quaint palm-frond bandas. Just a handful of lodge guests and a discreet team of staff stay on this island. You'll have a blissful piece of beach paradise all to yourself. Fresh lobster and prawns are served on wooden platters, romantic candlelit dinners follow a serene sunset, and the temperate waters provide safe swimming all year around. Named in Conde Nast Traveller's gold list of the best hotels in the world, and UK Tatler magazine's best 101 hotels in the world, the Mnemba Island Lodge offers an exquisite experience that is difficult to find anywhere else on the African coastline.
You'll take the short boat ride back to Zanzibar Island and be transferred to Zanzibar Airport for your departing flight.
