At A Glance
This comprehensive and luxurious eight-day safari takes you by air from Arusha into the expansive Serengeti plains, a wildlife-filled haven.

Head onto Tarangire for a slower, less crowded safari, seeing its multitude of elephants.
Day by day
Arusha
On arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you’ll be welcomed by your Wildlife Safari representative who will escort you to Lake Duluti Lodge, set amongst coffee plantations on the shores of Lake Duluti. Take in the views of the coffee farm with its large indigenous trees. Settle in and enjoy the day at your leisure.
Serengeti
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel before a road transfer to Arusha Airport for your light aircraft flight into the Serengeti. On arrival you’ll be welcomed and driven to Sanctuary Kichakani Serengeti Camp (June – November) or Sanctuary Kusini Serengeti Camp (December – March). Make yourself feel at home, have some lunch and head off on an afternoon game drive to start exploring the Serengeti plains before dinner is served at the camp.
Serengeti
Enjoy a morning and afternoon game viewing on the vast plains of the Serengeti, world-famous for its annual wildebeest and zebra migration but a large diversity of game that fills the open plains. Be on the lookout for the Big-5 – lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and the elusive leopard – perhaps you’ll be lucky enough to see a predator stalking its prey. End your afternoon game drive with a refreshing sundowner as the sun sets over the wildlife-filled savannah. Savour international flavours at dinner and end the day around a glowing campfire.
Ngorongoro Crater
An early morning game drive and breakfast before heading off to the airstrip for your flight to Lake Manyara airstrip. On arrival, you’ll be transferred on a scenic two-hour drive, to Sanctuary Ngorongoro Crater Camp, situated in the Ngorongoro Crater rim valley. Settle into your classic safari tent, enjoying some time at leisure before dinner and the glowing campfire beckon.
Ngorongoro Crater
An early morning start to the day before descending the narrow track to the crater floor, where you’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast. Explore this Eden-like setting on the myriad of tracks around the crater floor, a mini biosphere with multitudes of animal and bird species, including the black rhino. In the early afternoon, you’ll make your up the narrow track for a late lunch with the rest of the afternoon at leisure. Dinner is served at camp followed by your favourite drink around the crackling campfire.
Tarangire
Breakfast is served before setting off in a 4WD vehicle with your Wildlife Safari guide, towards Tarangire National Park, with its mighty baobab trees and breathtaking views. Settle into Sanctuary Swala Camp in your canvas pavilion, shaded by acacia trees and boasting views of the waterhole. Set off on your late afternoon game drive, returning to camp for dinner and a glowing log fire.
Tarangire
Spend the day on safari exploring this unique and quieter area known for its large concentrations of elephants and game, attracted to the Tarangire River. The area is also home to rarer animals such as the fringe-eared Oryx, wild dogs and even pythons can be spotted in the trees, along with a myriad of birds. Stop to enjoy sundowners on your afternoon game drive, returning to camp as the creatures of the night awaken. In-between exciting game drives, take some time to relax at camp in the heat of the day, enjoy meals on the stilted deck and end the day around the campfire under a starry African sky.

Destinations on this trip
Tanzania is an East African safari powerhouse, not least because in the Serengeti it features one of the greatest of all wilderness areas, and the backdrop for the annual Great Wildebeest Migration. Factor in Indian Ocean Islands, too, and it’s clear that Tanzania safaris can be all things to all people.
