Highlights of Northern Tanzania

Fly to Tanzania and unwind at Arumeru River Lodge, the ideal location from which to start your safari adventure. Enjoy your first wildlife encounter in the lodge’s lush gardens which are home to Dikdiks, the smallest antelopes in Africa.

Head out on game drives and walking safaris in Tarangire National Park, featuring the largest concentration of wildlife in Tanzania. Spot giraffe, buffalo, elephant, gazelle and of course, the ever-present predators, before dinner and drinks around the camp fire.

From The Highlands camp, follow ancient Masai trails to the summit of the Ngorongoro crater and visit local communities to catch a glimpse into the traditional Masai way of life that has defined this corner of East Africa for centuries. Search for the resident black rhino, along with the rest of the ‘Big Five’ in the crater – lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo – before returning to your luxury camp each evening to relax by the indoor camp fire in the lounge dome.

A trip to Tanzania would not be complete without a visit to Serengeti National Park. Its vast plains sprinkled with acacia trees have been the setting for many wildlife documentaries and its famous attraction is the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. Outside of the migration, there is still plenty of wildlife action – keep an eye out for large prides of lion, as well as giraffe, cheetah and hyena, whilst bird lovers will have some 500 species to cross off their checklists!

Set on the unspoilt plains of the Northern Serengeti, Sayari gives you easy access to the Mara River and multiple river crossing points in the Serengeti National Park. During game drives, watch out for the rhino that hide in the forests, the lion languishing on the kopjes and the elephants strolling across the plains. Upon return to the camp, relax and admire the view of Africa’s seemingly endless plains from the infinity pool. On your final day, enjoy the morning at your leisure before your return flight to the UK.
