A DREAM COME TRUE

ROMANTIC, ADVENTUROUS, LUXURIOUS

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be greeted by our airport official team, who will assist you with your visa and luggage, as well as offer some welcoming refreshments. Your driver-guide will then take you to your hotel for dinner and your overnight stay.

Arusha, the capital of the Arusha Region in northern Tanzania, has a population of approximately 416,442, with an additional 323,198 in the surrounding Arusha District. Nestled below Mount Meru on the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley, the city enjoys a temperate climate. Arusha is conveniently located near several prominent destinations, including Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Lake Manyara National Park, Tarangire National Park, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Arusha National Park on Mount Meru.

After breakfast at the lodge, embark on a full-day game drive in Ngorongoro Crater. Your driver will set up a shaded area under the vehicle for a delicious hot meal lunch, featuring soup, bread rolls, a main dish, and fruit salad, along with your choice of wine, tea, or coffee.

The crown jewel of Ngorongoro is its deep volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world, measuring about 20 km across, 600 m deep, and covering an area of 300 sq km. This breathtaking natural wonder is home to many wildlife species. During your visit, you'll also explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, where you can often spot numerous flamingos, hippos, and other water birds. After lunch, continue your game drive until late afternoon.

Enjoy your final morning and breakfast at the lovely Gibb’s Farm. Your driver will then take you to Manyara Airstrip for your light aircraft flight to Seronera Airstrip. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by your guide for a short transfer to Namiri Plains Camp, your Serengeti base for the next three nights.
Once you settle into your tent, take a moment to admire the stunning views of the endless Serengeti plains. Enjoy high tea snacks to prepare your appetite before heading to the main lodge for a delightful spread of sweet and savory treats, followed by your first game drive in the Serengeti.
Namiri Plains is renowned for year-round game viewing, particularly big cats like cheetahs. Between activities, relax at the lodge with a refreshing dip in the pool or on plush loungers, sipping cold drinks while watching elephants or buffalo pass by. Each evening, gather around the campfire to share and relive your safari adventures.

After your final breakfast at Namiri Plains, your guide will take you to Seronera Airstrip for your flight to Kogatende Airstrip. Upon arrival, another guide will welcome you and drive you to Sayari Camp, located in the remote northern Serengeti. This camp provides an authentic safari experience along the great wildebeest migration route, with access to key river crossing points, especially from July to September.

The following morning, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a hot-air balloon safari. This enchanting experience allows you to float over the savannah as the sun rises, culminating in a delightful champagne breakfast in the bush—an unforgettable way to start your day. Sayari Camp's proximity to the launch site makes this activity particularly convenient.

While you may not have had your fill of safari adventures just yet, an incredible experience awaits as you head to the stunning white sandy beaches of Zanzibar Island!

Bid farewell to the wonderful staff at Sayari as you make your way back to Kogatende Airstrip. From there, you'll board your flight to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Zanzibar. Upon arrival, a driver will be there to transfer you to Zuri Beach Resort.

Look forward to four nights of relaxation, soaking in the tropical sunshine at this idyllic resort located on a long stretch of private beach along the sunset-facing west coast. The favorable tidal patterns ensure safe swimming conditions every day.

At Zuri, you'll find a variety of activities to enjoy both at the resort and on the island. Visit the water sports center for snorkeling gear, diving lessons, and beach games like volleyball and pétanque. For a truly romantic experience, indulge in a private sunset dhow cruise, sipping sundowners as the sun sets. You can also plan a day trip to explore the vibrant streets of Stone Town.
