Days 1: Coffee Break in Arusha
Arusha, Tanzania
You will be met on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport and driven to Arusha Coffee Lodge. This charming lodge is set on a lush coffee plantation with stunning views of Mount Meru. Settle into your cottage before taking a stroll around the verdant grounds to acclimatise to Africa.
Walk through the plantations, visit the markets of nearby Arusha, or simply relax in the poolside gardens with a chilled drink. On cool winter evenings, get cosy next to a fireplace and sip one of the freshest coffees you will ever taste.
Depart after breakfast for your light aircraft flight to Lake Manyara, where a guide waits to meet you. They will drive you to Lake Manyara National Park and the grove of mahogany trees that shelters Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. This is the only lodge in the park, which makes for an exclusive and intimate atmosphere.
The thatched, stilted treehouse suites radiate from the central lounge, bar and dining area, each offering beautiful views. You will spend two nights here, enjoying morning and afternoon game drives, and exciting night drives. Expect a rich variety of natural habitats set around the lake, which is a sanctuary for flamingos and other waterbirds. The woodlands and open savannah plains support a large elephant population along with giraffe, buffalo, and a multitude of graceful antelope. Lake Manyara’s lions are the primary predators here and famous for their unusual habit of climbing trees.
You are now off to the Serengeti. Your safari coincides with the Wildebeest Migration, a natural event that sees over a million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle follow the summer rains in a vast circular migration. The mega herds must endure crossings rivers with strong currents and lurking crocodiles and keep their young safe from the magnificent lion prides of the open plains.
Your home for three nights is Serengeti Under Canvas, an authentic tented camp that moves location with the Migration. As comfortable as a permanent lodge but always offering a prime location to witness the best of the Migration.
