The Jewel of Tanzania

Arrive and transfer to the Legendary Lodge — a boutique lodge with luxurious private rooms, gourmet dining, spa treatments and top-notch hospitality.

Fly to Manyara Airstrip. First game drive en route to &Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge — built into the branches of ancient fig trees in the forest. The park's diverse habitats range from Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands: famous for tree-climbing lions, vast elephant herds, 400+ bird species, flamingo, buffalo, cheetah, Masai giraffe and impala.

Road transfer to &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge — approximately 3.5 hours — perched dramatically on the crater rim. Explore the crater this afternoon. Two nights in a sumptuous suite on full board including game drives on the crater floor and park fees. Ngorongoro is all about the game: 25,000 large mammals including enormous bull elephants, rhinos, lions and the rare black rhino.

As the sun breaks and a new day dawns, a gentle tap at your cottage door awakens you. Sipping fragrant tea or coffee, you prepare for the game drive of a lifetime in Grumeti — whether it is the Big Five or the massed herds of the Great Migration, Africa's wild awaits. Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp sits in the western corridor — prime territory for year-round game and the dramatic river crossings of the migration.

Sunrise game drive, then transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Arusha. Day room at Arusha Coffee Lodge to freshen up before your departure flight.
