Tanzania Safari and Beach

Save Your Trip
There are few sights as awe-inspiring as the Ngorongoro Crater, a world heritage site north of Arusha in the crater highlands, and unique game-viewing opportunity. After enjoying the area for a couple of nights, you’ll travel to the Serengeti National Park, a place of equal beauty and home of the iconic great wildebeest migration. After your safari experience, you’ll visit the ancient Stonetown of Zanzibar with its bustling souks and trademark spices before giving yourself some time to relax on the beach.

Massage

After a long flight, there is no better way to unwind than with a relaxing massage. Not all hotels have treatment tables but we can arrange for a trip to a nearby spa if requested.

Coffee Tour

For those arriving early in the morning but without time to connect straight into the safari, this is a really good afternoon activity. Arusha has been the capital of East Africa's amazing coffee scene for centuries and you will not find a fresher brew.
Explore Lake Duliti

Lake Duliti is just outside of Arusha and a great spot for a day trip if you have 2 nights in Arusha due to your flight connection. Boat trips, fishing, swimming and other water based activities are possible.

Horse-Riding

Again, this is a great activity if you have two nights in Arusha and a good way to start a riding safari if you are interested. Let us know your riding ability.

Golf

Given Arusha's colonial past, there are two good golf courses surrounding the city, let us know if you are interested and we can book a tee time for you.

Ngorongoro Crater Drive

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the iconic safari destinations on the planet due to its dramatic landscapes and abundance of wildlife. With this comes some fantastic game viewing opportunities but also large crowds of tourists.

Karatu Activities

The lodges in Karatu offer some wonderful in-house activities that can be enjoyed at your own leisure. These include, farm tours, birdwatching, cultural visits, cycling and cooking classes.

Lake Manyara National Park

The nearby Lake Manyara offers a unique game viewing experience that works well in tandem with the crater and is best enjoyed on the arrival or departure day from the area. Let us know if you are interested and we can work it into the itinerary.

Walking Safari

Head out on foot with a local guide along the rim of the crater, with exceptional views throughout and a chance to learn about a very delicate and fascinating ecosystem.

Masai Village Visit

Certain lodges offer fantastic opportunities to visit their Maasai neighbours, who are living a largely traditional life in the boma in the next valley, and still grazing their cattle in the conservation area. These are as authentic as village visits get.
