Tanzania Private Group Safari (11N) – Classic

On the first day of your trip, you will fly out to Tarangire National Park for a night at Kuro. This property has a gorgeous setting among 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.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation including all activities, all meals, soft drinks, a selection of alcoholic drinks, and a laundry service.

On Day 3, you will fly to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, for a stay at one of the region’s newest properties, Entamanu. 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. Interactions with the local Maasai are available too, for those who like to add a little culture to the mix! Entamanu may be new, but already it’s quite a favourite at YZ.

Board basis and activities:
Fully inclusive of most safari activities, meals, selected house alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, 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.

Now it’s time for your beach break! On Day 8 you will fly to Zanzibar, to Unguja Lodge, which is situated in the south of the island, within a beautiful forest enclave. This property comprises a luxurious collection of 12 supersize villas – you can opt for either sea views or garden views. The local beach is stunning, with its white sands caressed by the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. However, Unguza’s gardens, with big baobabs and old mango trees, are pretty special too – and the garden villas include a private plunge pool! All accommodation features a spacious bedroom, sumptuous seating area, well-appointed shower room, loft with double bed, and delightful terrace.
