The River of Giants: Tarangire

We journey into Tarangire National Park, where the landscape is sculpted by ancient Baobabs.

The Experience: Witness the raw life around the Tarangire River, where lions and leopards lurk in the shadows of the palm trees. We enjoy a refined picnic lunch overlooking the river, watching elephant families bathe below.

The Heart of the Savanna: Central Serengeti

We ascend the rift valley, pausing for a 15-minute panoramic view of the Ngorongoro Crater before pressing on into the infinite Serengeti. We spend the afternoon tracking cheetahs and lions across the central plains before settling into the canvas luxury of Nakupenda.

he Trek North: Following the Herds
Today, we follow the pulse of the Great Migration as we head into the Northern Serengeti. This is the land of the dramatic river crossings. By afternoon, you arrive at Safari Haven, where the "luxury nature" style allows you to hear the distant thunder of the wildebeest herds from your balcony.

The Crossing & The Return to the Heartland

A day of high-stakes drama and breathtaking horizons. We dedicate the morning to the Northern Serengeti, positioning ourselves along the banks of the Mara River. Here, we wait for the ultimate wildlife spectacle: the high-tension moment when the herds finally take the plunge.

The Experience: Witness the raw, unyielding struggle between the wildebeest and the Nile crocodiles in a scene that has remained unchanged for millennia. We enjoy a refined bush picnic lunch in the heart of the action, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Great Migration.

The Journey: Following the excitement of the crossings, we begin our elegant descent back toward the heart of the park. We game drive through the changing landscapes as the sun begins to soften, eventually returning to the familiar luxury of the central plains.

Rest: Nakupenda Serengeti Luxury Camp

The Return Passage: Central Serengeti to the Rim

We game drive back through the Central Serengeti, catching a final glimpse of the big cats.

The Experience: We enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic site in the park before making our way to the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. Clinging to the crater rim, this lodge offers a cinematic view of the "Garden of Eden" waiting for you tomorrow.

Stay: Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Eden Restored: The Ngorongoro Crater

We descend 600 meters into the caldera for a day of unparalleled wildlife density.

The Experience: Track the rare Black Rhino and the crater’s legendary lions. We enjoy a spectacular lunch at the Hippo Pool picnic site, watching these massive creatures wallow in the midday sun.

The Emerald Forest: Lake Manyara

Our final exploration takes us to Lake Manyara, a jewel-like park known for its groundwater forests and pink-dusted shores. Look for the famous tree-climbing lions and clouds of flamingos. We return to the Arusha Farmhouse for a final night of refined dining and reflection.
