SIGNATURE SAFARI SERIES

Tanzania Luxury Safari — Arusha, Central Serengeti & Ruaha National Park

Serengeti to the Wild

8 Days / 7 Nights

Overview

Serengeti to the Wild South pairs Tanzania’s most celebrated plains with its least-visited wilderness: three nights amid Central Serengeti’s famous game density, then a flight south to Ruaha — one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas, where a boutique kopje camp overlooks a valley of baobabs that most travellers have never had reason to visit. It’s the known and the yet-to-be-known, in one circuit.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

1 Night · Dinner, Bed & Breakfast

A century-old coffee estate at the gateway to the Northern Circuit.

A guided walk through the coffee estate, garden spa treatments and free time to explore Arusha’s markets round out the day before the flying safari begins.

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

3 Nights · Full Board Plus (incl. activities)

DAY 2
The Serengeti everyone pictures — resident leopards, big cats, and the Seronera Valley’s year-round game.
Shared morning and afternoon game drives among open plains, scattered acacia trees and granite kopjes favoured by lions and cheetahs, leopard and cheetah sightings around the kopjes, and stargazing from the lodge’s own astral observatory.
Fly from Arusha to Kiba Airstrip; afternoon game drive on arrival in Central Serengeti.

THE STAY — ONE NATURE NYARUSWIGA
The Great Migration, the big cats, and the breathtaking plains of Serengeti — right in the middle of it all.

Day 3
A full day of game drives around the Seronera Valley’s kopjes, prime habitat for resident lions and leopards.

Day 4
A further game drive through the plains, then an evening of stargazing from the lodge’s own astral observatory.

3 Nights · Full Board Plus (incl. activities)

One of Africa’s largest wilderness areas — and one of its quietest.

Day 5
Private-vehicle game drives and walking safaris across the baobab-studded plains, rare night drives, and evenings at the infinity pool overlooking the valley.
Fly south to Ruaha; afternoon game drive on arrival.

THE STAY — JABALI RIDGE
Checks every box for travellers seeking a luxurious, boutique wilderness and wildlife experience in East Africa.
Jabali Ridge closes annually from mid-March to the end of May, during the rains — the South is not bookable on this itinerary during that window.

Day 6
A guided walking safari across the baobab-studded plains, followed by a rare night game drive after dark.

Day 7
A full day of private-vehicle game drives across the valley, with evenings at the infinity pool overlooking the plains.

Transfer to the airstrip for the scheduled flight back to Arusha, connecting to the international departure.
