EXCLUSIVE LUXURY SAFARI

Giants of Tanzania

Tarangire | Serengeti | Ngorongoro

10 Days / 9 Nights

Overview

Giants of Tanzania traces the country’s classic Northern Circuit through five genuinely distinctive landscapes: the baobab-studded elephant country of Tarangire, the Rift Valley escarpment above Lake Manyara, the private-reserve exclusivity of the Serengeti’s Grumeti concession, and the ancient-forest rim of the Ngorongoro Crater, opening and closing at a converted coffee estate in Arusha. Flown rather than driven between stops, the circuit delivers Tanzania’s headline wildlife experiences without a single long road transfer.

The Journey – Your Itinerary

1 Night · Bed & Breakfast

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

THE STAY — LEGENDARY LODGE
Twelve garden cottages on a century-old coffee estate, each connected to the main lodge by winding footpaths.— 12 individually decorated garden cottages, each with a private veranda

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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. Day and night game drives into Lake Manyara National Park, 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.

2 Nights · All Inclusive (Game Package)

A botanist’s camp reimagined, on the private Grumeti Reserve where the Serengeti’s plains run wild.

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.

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. 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 fill the days.

2 Nights · All Inclusive (Game Package)

An ancient acacia forest on the crater rim, with the fastest route down to the wildlife-rich crater floor.

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

Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp sits within an ancient acacia forest close to the crater rim, on the quieter Lemala access road — giving guests a head start onto the crater floor most mornings, and better light for photography than the busier western routes allow. A full-day game drive on the crater floor, escorted forest walks with an armed ranger and Maasai guide, and evenings around the campfire close out the safari.

Transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for departure.
