Tanzania with Kuoni
Journey to the Heart of Tanzania: An Intimate Safari Adventure
Embarking on a safari in Tanzania is like stepping into a living, breathing wildlife documentary, where each moment bursts with the thrill of discovery and the raw beauty of untamed nature. Our adventure starts and ends in the vibrant city of Arusha, weaving through the wilds of Tarangire, the majestic Ngorongoro, and the legendary Serengeti. Each destination offers unique experiences and luxurious accommodations that elevate the journey to unparalleled heights.**
Arusha: The Gateway to Adventure**
Our safari begins in Arusha, nestled at the base of Mount Meru. Here, the lush surroundings of the Arusha Coffee Lodge offer a tranquil retreat within Tanzania’s largest coffee plantation. As we settle into our twin-bed lodge, the soothing aroma of fresh coffee sets a serene tone for our journey.
Next, we venture to Tarangire National Park, staying two nights at the enchanting Tarangire Treetops. The adventure kicks off with a flight aboard a Cessna Grand Caravan, an intimate and thrilling experience with executive class seating for just nine passengers, allowing us to soak in the expansive views below.
At Tarangire Treetops, our lavish tented room wraps around an ancient baobab tree, with an open-fronted design that immerses us in nature. Sundowners on Sunset Hill, sipping G&Ts as the sun dips below the horizon, transport us to the classic safari spirit of the 1920s. The excitement peaks with a night drive through the private reserve, where Tarangire’s nocturnal wonders come alive.
From Tarangire, we soar to the highlands of Ngorongoro, spending two nights at The Manor at Ngorongoro. This stately home exudes old-world charm, with suites featuring Victorian-style claw-foot baths perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration. The Ngorongoro Crater, often called the "Eighth Wonder of the World," offers a dramatic backdrop for our safari adventures. Here, we witness Africa’s densest concentration of wildlife, from elusive black rhinos to majestic prides of lions.
Our journey culminates with four nights in the Serengeti, Tanzania’s oldest and most renowned national park. The Serengeti Migration Camp, a classic tented camp with luxurious touches, serves as our base. The vast plains and teeming wildlife of the Serengeti are best experienced on full-day game drives, where we follow the Great Migration and encounter the park’s iconic big cats.
The Cessna Grand Caravan flights between camps enhance the sense of adventure, offering breathtaking aerial views of Tanzania's diverse landscapes. Each day in the Serengeti brings new marvels, from a cheetah’s lightning sprint to a herd of elephants silhouetted against a golden sunset.
After an exhilarating stay in the Serengeti, we return to Arusha for our final night. This last evening at the Arusha Coffee Lodge allows us to reflect on our journey, savoring the memories of Tanzania’s breathtaking beauty and vibrant wildlife.
This private fly-in safari offers a perfect balance of exclusivity and camaraderie, with like-minded travelers joining us on flights and game drives. The Elewana Collection’s exclusive properties ensure that each stop is imbued with comfort and luxury, making our Tanzanian safari not just an adventure, but an intimate and unforgettable escape into nature’s grandeur.
