EXCLUSIVE LUXURY SAFARI

Tanzania Luxury Safari — Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Serengeti

Tarangire | Serengeti | Ngorongoro

10 Days / 9 Nights

Overview

Giants of Tanzania traces the country’s classic Northern Circuit through four genuinely distinctive landscapes: the baobab-studded elephant country of Tarangire, the Rift Valley escarpment above Lake Manyara, the ancient-forest rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, and, to finish, three nights on the Serengeti’s private Grumeti Reserve. It opens at a converted coffee estate in Arusha, and short scheduled flights take the place of the long road transfers, so more of each day goes to wildlife and less to the journey.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

1 Night · Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

A century-old coffee estate at the gateway to the Northern Circuit, where the safari properly begins.

Legendary Lodge sits on a working coffee farm on the outskirts of Arusha, its colonial-era farmhouse and tropical gardens offering a calm, green introduction to Tanzania before the flying safari begins in earnest — with Mount Meru rising in the distance. A guided tour of the neighbouring Burka Coffee Estate, art among the gardens, and time to explore Arusha’s Maasai Market round out the day.

THE STAY — LEGENDARY LODGE
Twelve garden cottages on a century-old coffee estate, each connected to the main lodge by winding footpaths.

2 Nights · All Inclusive (Game Package)

Ancient baobabs and some of Africa’s densest elephant herds, from a private conservancy on Tarangire’s eastern edge.

A short morning flight from Arusha to Kuro Airstrip, where your guide meets you for your first game drive. On its own private conservancy bordering Tarangire National Park, Nimali Tarangire sits among ancient, towering baobabs in a landscape known for elephant herds that can run hundreds strong, alongside more than 500 recorded bird species. Game drives by day and rare night drives after dark, guided bush walks, and elephant families viewed at close range from the property’s underground hide make for a dramatic, uncrowded opening act to the safari.

THE STAY — NIMALI TARANGIRE
Eight tented suites on a private conservancy, each with a private deck over the riverbed.

2 Nights · All Inclusive (Game Package)

Rift Valley views to Kilimanjaro on a clear day, above a lake famed for tree-climbing lions and flamingos.
A last morning game drive in Tarangire, then on to the Rift Valley. Perched on the rim of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge looks out over the lake itself, Mount Meru, and — on a clear day — Kilimanjaro. A full day of game drives in Lake Manyara National Park with a picnic lunch, a guided village walk through the Iraqw community’s banana plantations, and sundowners on the escarpment give a full sense of the park’s famous tree-climbing lions and flamingo-lined shoreline.

THE STAY — LAKE MANYARA KILIMAMOJA LODGE
Fifty deluxe rooms and two luxury villas on the Rift Valley escarpment, each with panoramic views.

1 Night · All Inclusive (Game Package)

A full day on the crater floor, then a night in ancient acacia forest on the rim.
An early drive up to the Ngorongoro Crater for a full day of game viewing on the crater floor, with a picnic lunch among the wildlife. Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp sits within an ancient acacia forest close to the crater rim, on the quieter Lemala side, and the evening ends around the campfire.

THE STAY — LEMALA NGORONGORO TENTED CAMP
Ten tents in ancient acacia forest near the crater rim, including one two-bedroom family tent.

3 Nights · All Inclusive (Game Package)

A botanist’s camp reimagined, on the private Grumeti Reserve where the Serengeti’s plains run wild.
A morning drive down to Lake Manyara airstrip for the flight to the Grumeti (Sasakwa) airstrip, where a Singita guide meets you. Set within the private Singita Grumeti Reserve on the Serengeti’s western edge, Faru Faru Lodge combines the charm of a classic botanist’s camp with contemporary organic design — panoramic glass windows and claw-foot baths looking directly onto the waterhole and plains beyond. Three nights here leave time to settle in: morning and afternoon game drives across the private reserve, guided safari walks, seasonal hot-air balloon safaris, and curated wine tastings with a Singita sommelier make a fitting finale to the safari.

THE STAY — SINGITA FARU FARU LODGE
Nine suites of stone, canvas and thatch on the private Grumeti Reserve, including a family suite and two-bedroom pool suite.

End of Itinerary
Breakfast at the lodge, then the scheduled flight from the Grumeti (Sasakwa) airstrip to Arusha, and a road transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your departure.
