Tanzania Luxury Safari

Upon arrival at Tanzanian's Kilimanjaro International Airport, a vehicle waits to transfer you to Arusha. The city lies in a green, fertile environment against Mount Meru. It is a vast city with all its contradictions.

• Driving Distance: 50 / km (50 Mins)

After breakfast, a short flight whisks you to the place the Maasai call Siringit, where the land moves on forever. Tanzania's first game reserve, the Serengeti National Park, is one of the last remaining natural migration corridors and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate, vegetation, and fauna have remained mostly unchanged over the past million years. The instinct that drives the annual Great Migration of more than a million wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra is so powerful that neither drought nor crocodile-infested rivers can halt it.

The drive to your Asanja Nyasarori Luxury Camp whets your appetite for more. After settling into your suite, you waste no time taking your place on the afternoon game drive. There is so much to see here that the drive lasts until sundowner time, when your ranger selects a scenic spot to stop and delve into the generous picnic hamper. After sunset, the game drive continues with a deftly operated spotlight, seeking out the nocturnal creatures that emerge after dusk. You return to camp in time to freshen up and join your fellow explorers to dine under the stars. The emphasis at this camp is on comfortable luxury and a romantic, close-to-nature experience. In addition to daily game drives, we highly recommend an early morning hot-air balloon ride.

After an early game drive and delicious breakfast, you will be transferred by road from Serengeti to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater. This is a place of wonders – from its miraculous terrain to the abundant fauna and flora it supports, from its status as a World Heritage Site to the harmonious coexistence of its people and wildlife. Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is architecturally spectacular. Perched on the edge of the crater rim, every suite offers impressive views. Glamorous opulence rules this Lodge, from the chandelier-lit bathrooms to the personal butler service and fine dining.

The Crater is the world's largest intact, un-flooded caldera. Your route from the Lodge descends over the lush rainforests of the rim, 610m (2,000 ft), down to the grasslands of the crater floor, an area of about 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). This haven provides a year-round home to wildebeest, zebra, eland, and gazelle, along with Africa's densest population of lions. The rainforests shelter elephants, mountain bucks, buffalo, hyenas, wild dogs, leopards, and cheetahs.

Spend a full day game viewing, exploring the crater floor, and picnicking on the grasslands amidst the grazing herds. Return to the Lodge for sundowners on the Crater's rim and a sumptuous feast in the domed dining area.

• Driving Distance: 163.8  / km (3 Hrs)

After breakfast, you begin your half-day in the crater. You have seen spectacular sights and created unforgettable memories – close your eyes to feel the warmth of the African sun on your skin, catch the scent of wild sage on the cool evening air, and hear the low, spine-tingling call of lions at dusk. All this and more you have witnessed on your 8-day Tanzania Luxury safari. Later in the afternoon, drive back to Arusha.  

• Driving Distance: 154 / km (2.45 Hrs)

After breakfast, you begin your journey home, and a driver waits to transfer you to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight home.
