Starting at one of our favorite properties in Arusha, this trip continues on to three superb safari areas – Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti! Travel during our recommended months, and you could see the Great Migration herds.

The adventure begins at Machweo House & Wellness Retreat, an excellent option for a short stay in Arusha before or after a safari in North Tanzania. During your short time at Machweo, you can relax after your flight, making good use of the house’s spa facilities and swimming pool. You'll stay here one night before heading to The Plantation Lodge, which has a fabulous location amidst coffee plantations just outside Karatu. Once you’ve arrived at The Plantation Lodge, the focus is wildlife viewing via expertly guided game drives. The property also offers plenty of on-site experiences, such as guided walks among coffee plantations and farm visits. This property is a brilliant base from which to visit both Lake Manyara National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater!

You’ll then head to Nasikia Naona Moru Camp, which offers comfortable accommodation and a great range of activities in the Moru Kopjes area of the Central Serengeti. Vehicle safaris are available from Naona Moru, as are guided walks and hot air balloon rides!

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.
