Tanzania Private Group Safari (7N) – Classic

On the first day of your trip, you’ll touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), receiving a VIP Meet and Greet. From here, you’ll travel to Machweo House & Wellness Retreat via private road transfer. One of our top properties in Arusha, Machweo provides first-class food and drink together with excellent service standards. Communal spaces include a comfortable lounge, dining terrace, bar, and swimming pool! The accommodation option we’ve chosen for group members here is the Garden Cottage Suite, which comes with a four-poster bed, lounge with fireplace, en-suite full bathroom, and balcony with views towards majestic Mount Meru. The property has a spa too, so you can really relax and unwind at the beginning of your safari.

Board basis and activities:
B&B accommodation, including early morning tea and coffee on veranda and during breakfast, and afternoon tea. Activities at extra cost include coffee tours, cultural walks, and excursions into Arusha.

On Day 2, you’ll have a private road transfer from the wellness retreat to The Plantation Lodge, Machweo’s staff having packed up a picnic lunch for your journey (at extra cost). Your private vehicle, complete with private guide, will be available to you throughout your time in the Manyara/Ngorongoro region. On your way to The Plantation Lodge, you’ll enjoy a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Considered one of the most scenic parks in all Safari Africa, Lake Manyara boasts a spectacular Great Rift Valley backdrop and of course the beautiful lake itself, a haven for wildlife. Among the highlights here are tree-climbing lions and vast flocks of flamingo! Once you’ve arrived at the lodge, you can relax in the property’s charming farmhouse, which contains pleasant lounge and dining areas. There’s also a shady courtyard and a swimming pool. Members of your group will stay in a Standard Room, which offers a comfy bedroom, seating area with cosy fireplace, and well-appointed en-suite washroom. On your second day here, you’ll head down into the Ngorongoro Crater on vehicle safari. This world-famous feature is home to all Big Five, numerous smaller predators and herbivores, and ample birdlife! On-site activities at The Plantation Lodge include guided walks amidst coffee plantation and farm visits.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation, including meals. Please note, drinks are extra and activities are booked separately.

Your final destination is the Serengeti. You’ll travel from The Plantation Lodge to Lake Manyara Airport via private road transfer and fly to Seronera Airstrip. Once you’ve landed, you’ll have a shared transfer to Nasikia Naona Moru Camp. This property’s name is inspired by the nearby Moru kopjes, and it has a wonderfully elevated setting! Its lounge, dining area, and bar occupy a simple yet very chic mess tent. There’s also a veranda, as well as a fire-pit where guests gather to swap safari stories. Guest accommodation consists of eight tented suites, each benefiting from a spacious bedroom, a separate seating area, a smart en-suite shower room, and a private veranda with views over sprawling plains! Naona Moru is well placed to offer great game drives, walking safaris, and hot air balloon rides. It’s also able to provide Great Migration viewing from June to October, as its central location makes for easy access via safari vehicle to wherever the herds are massing during these months.

Board basis and activities:
All-inclusive accommodation, featuring all meals, a selection of alcoholic and soft drinks, shared and scheduled game drives, and transfers between the camp and Seronera Airstrip.

On the last day of your trip, you’ll return to Seronera Airstrip and fly back to KIA, in good time for your flight/s home.
