Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Kilimanjaro Ariport (Jro) Arrival – Arusa (-/-/D)
Welcome to Tanzania! Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and welcomed by an Elewana representative who will take you to your hotel in Arusha: Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge. On arrival you will be greeted with a cool and refreshing coffee-infused drink. This lodge is nestled within one of the largest working coffee plantations in Tanzania, situated at the foothills of Mount Meru. Arusha is Tanzanias gateway to the northern circuit of stellar National Parks and the starting point to many magnificent safaris. It is also a big sprawling city that is lush and green in its surroundings.
Overnight in Arusha
Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire National Park (B/L/D)
After breakfast, you will head on a fascinating Bean-to-Cup walking tour around the local coffee estate to discover how this incredible bean is grown, harvested, processed, and eventually ends up in your morning cup. After this tour, you will return to your lodge for lunch before you are chauffeured to the Kuro airstrip in the heart of Tarangire National Park. From the air you will be treated to an exceptional, rare view of the landscape below — perhaps you will see the wealth of wildlife that awaits you in Tarangire. You will be greeted by the Tarangire Treetops Guide, and, during your transfer to the Tarangire Treetops, you will enjoy a fascinating game drive through Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania. Relish the incredible experience of sleeping in luxury treehouses and heading on bushwalks with professional guides.
Overnight in Tarangire
Day 3: Tarangire National Park (B/L/D)
In the morning after breakfast at the camp you will head on a fascinating game drive through Tarangire National Park, followed by a Bush Lunch at a special site. The location of this special lunch will heighten your experience as you can take in the beauty of this landscape. Later, visit a Masai Village to greet the friendly local indigenous people. Upon arriving back at the lodge in the late afternoon, take some time to rest before you get the opportunity to see the beautiful and dramatic African sunset. The vehicles will take you up the trail of Sunset Hill where, at the top, you sip on a delicious cocktail as you watch the sunset over the distant Lake Manyara. Before you know it, you will see thousands of stars appear in the darkening night sky. From there, begin your night game drive as part of your journey back to the Tarangire Treetops.
Overnight in Tarangire
Day 4: Tarangire National Park – Karatu - Ngorongoro (B/L/D)
After another filling breakfast, participate on one more morning game drive through the Tarangire National Park. Stop for a picnic lunch on your way to the Kuro Airstrip, where you will head on a short flight to the Manyara Airstrip. Enjoy a short transfer to the Manor in Ngorongoro, where a session of high tea will await you at this magnificent homestyle lodge, set in a lush Arabica coffee plantation. Your stay at Elewana the Manor, quite possibly the most lavish address on the safari circuit.
Overnight in Ngorongoro
Day 5: Ngorongoro – Lake Manyara - Ngorongoro (B/L/D)
In the morning after breakfast, you will be invited to see what can be considered one of the ‘Natural Wonders of the World — the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater. This extraordinary crater is the largest dry caldera of its kind in the world, home to nearly all the animals that you would want to see in East Africa. Large herds of zebras and wildebeests graze while sleeping lions lie around in the sun. While the resident hippos enjoy their daily baths, and herds of zebra and wildebeests keep a wary eye out for any number of predators, you can sit and watch this ‘live show while enjoying the very best picnic luncheon The Manor can offer. Following this exciting full day in the Ngorongoro Crater, you will then take the one-hour transfer back to The Manor, where preparations will already be underway for your evening meal.
Overnight in Ngorongoro
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater (B/L/D)
In the morning after breakfast at the camp you will head on a fascinating game drive through Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Ngorongoro Crater. With a space of only 102 square miles and a resident wildlife population of more than 30,000 mammals, there is a great chance that you might see all the big five. A lunch box is provided at a picnic site overlooking a small lake populated with hippos. In the afternoon, you return to the rim of the crater and return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Overnight in Ngorongoro
Day 7: Ngorongoro – Serengeti National Park (B/L/D)
After an early riser breakfast, you will travel to Lake Manyara airstrip and fly in the Sky Safari airplane to Serengeti National Park. You are met on arrival and game view en route to the camp arriving for lunch. Grab your camera to expand your gallery of breathtaking images as the day unfolds. Following lunch and time to enjoy the camps facilities, you have an afternoon game drive returning to the camp for dinner and overnight. Your accommodation in the Serengeti depends on the season. Experience either the luxurious bygone- style tents of Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp perched on a rocky kopje, or the sophisticated stilted tents of Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp.
Overnight in the Serengeti National Park Area
Day 8: Serengeti National Park (B/L/D)
Following breakfast, you have a full day of game viewing in Serengeti National Park with a bush lunch.

Serengeti National Park is located approximately 320 kilometers to the northwest of Arusha, sitting in a high plateau between the Ngorongoro highlands and the Kenya-Tanzania border. The park almost stretches to Lake Victoria to the west, covering a total area of 14,763 square kilometers. Appropriately named the “endless plains” by the Maasai people, you will discover the immensity of the Serengeti as you enter the southeastern plains of the park. In the evening, you return to the camp for dinner under the stars.
