8 DAYS SKY SAFARI TANZANIA
ARUSHA . TARANGIRE . SERENGETI . NGORONGORO

Day 1: Arusha

• Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport where we’ll fast-track you through arrival procedures
• VIP transfer to Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge
• Shanga cultural experience optional depending on arrival time
  • Shanga is a heartwarming project dedicated to supporting and empowering community members with disabilities. It comprises of a bustling workshop that creates works of art often from recycled goods, and a trendy boutique.

Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire

• Breakfast at Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge before your SkySafari morning flight to Kuro Airstrip in Tarangire National Park
• Full-day game drive through Tarangire National Park with private picnic lunch in the bush
  • Often overlooked for the north’s better-known parks, Tarangire bursts with great game – especially in the dry season, when animals flock to its perennial river – but sees few other tourists.
• Late afternoon arrival to Elewana Tarangire Treetops in time for sundowners
• A traditional Masai boma dinner at the camp

Accommodation: Elewana Tarangire Treetops
With its prime location in a private conservancy on the edge of Tarangire National Park, Elewana Tarangire Treetops offers the best of both. The park’s wealth of wildlife – from big cats to huge elephant herds – is right on the doorstep.

Day 3: Tarangire

• Start the day traditionally, with breakfast followed by a walk with a Masai guide. There’s nothing more electrifying than exploring the bush on foot, getting up-close to the flowers, insects and animal tracks. You can also visit a Masai village to find out more about the custodians of this land.
• After a good lunch at camp, head out on a glorious game drive in custom-designed jeeps, looking for a whole host of species – from zebra, buffalo, eland and kudu to lion, leopard and hyena.
• Sundowners in the bush before resuming with a night game drive
  • Night drives (permitted within the conservancy) are a chance to see the after-dark shift, from prickly porcupines to elusive leopards.
• Dinner at camp

Accommodation: Elewana Tarangire Treetops

Day 5: Serengeti National Park

• Breakfast at camp
• Game drive in Serengeti National Park
  • The Serengeti is abundant with game – from the Big Five and cheetah to huge plains herds. You might time your visit for the dramatic peak of the Great Migration, when more than a million animals cross the rivers in the Serengeti’s north. But the animals are always on the move: there is plenty to see, all over the park, year round.

• Dinner at The Manor

Accommodation: Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro
Quite possibly the most enviable address on the safari circuit, this handful of Cape Dutch-styled cottages sits within the lush gardens of a working coffee farm, near the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. 

Day 7: Ngorongoro Crater

• Early breakfast at The Manor
• Full day Ngorongoro crater tour with a picnic lunch onsite
  • Head into the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. Measuring over 20km wide and 600m deep, Ngorongoro Crater is a natural volcanic amphitheatre, a geological marvel, a festival of wildlife. Its acacia thickets, riverine forest and glittering lakes throng with around 30,000 animals: one of the highest densities of wildlife in Africa. Safaris here can be overwhelming, in the very best way.
