Tanzania Private Group Safari (11N) – Classic

On Day 1 of your trip, you’ll touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), receiving a VIP Meet and Greet. From here, you’ll fly to Kuro Airstrip and travel to Kuro Tarangire via shared road transfer. This property has a gorgeous setting amidst trees on the banks of the Tarangire river. Housed in an open-sided timber-and-thatch lodge, the lounge and dining areas are spacious and stylish, with breathtaking views out into the park! Guest accommodation consists of six comfortable safari tents, all with eco-toilet and classic bucket shower. Activities include excellent game drives and walking safaris, with night drives also available for guests who would like to check out the nocturnal wildlife of the park! There is loads to see in Tarangire – big prides of lion, huge herds of buffalo, ample concentrations of plains game, and more than 550 types of bird. And if you visit the park during the period from July to October, you might well witness the elephant migration, when immense concentrations of the grey guys move across the area together in their search for water.

Board basis and activities:
All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, shared vehicle and walking safaris, transfers between camp and Kuro Airstrip, and a laundry service.

On the third day, you’ll return to Kuro Airstrip via shared road transfer and fly to Lake Manyara Airport, before travelling by shared transfer to Entamanu Ngorongoro. One of the region’s newer properties, this camp boasts superb views both into the Crater and north-west as far as the Serengeti, Olduvai Gorge, and the Gol Mountains beyond. Constructed with the intention of minimising disruption to the landscape, Entamanu’s main areas are found in a simple mess tent – we love the authentic vibe! The camp has six tented suites, which are also pretty simple yet very comfy with their gas-powered stoves. Entamanu offers a thrilling range of activities. For example, you can head down into the Crater for some seriously good game drives featuring the Big Five and many other mammals! You can also enjoy guided walks up on the highlands around the Crater rim. And interactions with the local Maasai are available too, for those who like to add a little culture to the mix.

Board basis and activities:
All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, activities on a shared basis (full morning game drives into the Crater, short highland walks, Maasai boma visit, bush picnics, sundowners), scheduled road transfers between camp and Lake Manyara Airport, and a laundry service.

Following your stay at Entamanu, you will fly to the Serengeti, for two nights at Serengeti Safari Camp. This property is the oldest mobile camp in the park – and we reckon it’s one of the most adventurous too! Fairly uniquely for a Serengeti mobile camp, it moves hundreds of miles every year to make sure that guests are treated to the most thrilling sights of the Great Migration. You are guaranteed a front-row seat for watching one of Mother Nature’s finest shows! Guest accommodation here comprises six walk-in tents, all with eco-flush toilet and bucket shower. The guiding is first rate and there’s a relaxed vibe about camp. At the end of the day, there’s usually dinner around the camp fire, with everyone joining in to share their safari stories!

Fully inclusive of meals, selected house alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, a laundry service, and standard game drives from a shared open-sided 4×4 game drive vehicle.
