Northern Tanzania Luxury SkySafari

On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be welcomed to Tanzania by a member of the SkySafari team and then you will be chauffeured to Arusha Coffe Lodge. Situated at the foothills of Mount Meru, Arusha Coffee Lodge is nestled in one of Tanzania’s largest operating coffee plantations. Benefit from a complementary upgrade to one of the luxurious Plantation Suites. Followed by a mouth watering dinner, which can be enjoyed in your Suite, the Restaurant, or the Plantation Gardens.

After breakfast, a walking tour of the coffee plantation, and a light lunch, you will be chauffeured to the Arusha Airport and invited aboard the Executive SkySafari Cessna Grand Caravan for the short 20 minute flight to Tarangire National Park. Upon arrival you will start your first fascinating game - drive through the famed Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania. Dinner this evening will be enjoyed in a traditional Maasai Boma, where the Executive Chef will introduce you to some traditional African cuisine, along with traditional songs and dances of the local Maasai.

After an early breakfast, we will venture into what undoubtedly is one of the ‘Natural Wonders of the World’ – The Ngorongoro Crater. Large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze while sleeping lions laze in the sun. The endangered black rhinospends the early hours grazing on dew-laden grass, before returning to the thick cover of the crater forests. Lunch will be served in the Crater followed by an afternoon game-drive, before returning in the late afternoon to the Manor.

In the morning you will have your choice of visiting Lake Manyara National Park, or may stay at The Manor and choose from a host of activities, including horseback riding, mountain biking, massage treatments, or simply relaxing by the pool. After lunch, we will again board the Executive Cessna Grand Caravan for the onward 45-minute flight to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park. After a short game - drive, we arrive at Serengeti Migration Camp, located on the banks of the Grumeti River in time to enjoy another African Sunset.

The Serengeti is host to one of nature’s most magnificent phenomena, The Great Migration. Over a million wildebeests make a 600 mile pilgrimage though crocodile-infested water on the annual exodus north. Returning to the South to replenish the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the pilgrimage begins again. Depending on the season and the location of the migratory animals, our game-drive will take us to various parts of the Serengeti.

Following breakfast you are invited to join one of our guides on a Walking Safari along the banks of the Grumeti River. After a leisurely lunch, you will once again take to the road for a game-drive en-route to the airstrip for the return flight to Arusha. During the flight, you will see, from the air, the ever-changing landscape of the bush and mountainous topography that reminds us of Tanzania’s violent geological past. On arrival in Arusha, you will be transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge where a day room allows you to freshen up and relax before catching your return flight or continuing onto another adventure.
