Luksusmatka Tansania: lentosafari Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti

Lennot Helsingistä

Kuljetus kentälle ja lento Arushaan. 

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) you will be warmly welcomed by our Representative

There’s a palpable buzz as you approach Kilimanjaro Airport: Africa’s highest mountain looms large outside. Once on the ground and whisked to your home for the night however, the buzz comes from the bushes: Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge sits in the foothills of Mount Meru, its suites sprinkled amid one of Tanzania’s largest working plantations.

Retreat to your stylish room amid the bean-laden bushes, breathe in the heady java scent, dine in the glorious gardens and unwind in the spa. Soothing in the extreme, this is the perfect pre-safari stay.

Depending on your arrival time lunch and/or dinner will be included in your overnight at Arusha Coffee Lodge.

After a tasty breakfast at Arusha Coffee Lodge, you will receive an introduction briefing from our SkySafari Rep before a short transfer to Arusha Airport where your safari will take to the air.

ARK - KURO 09.00 hours - 09:25 hours

Tarangire is the unexpected awesome; the connoisseur’s choice. More than 3,000 elephants – one of the largest populations in East Africa – reside here while the swamps host 550 species of bird. During the dry season, the perennial Tarangire River becomes the sole water source for a marvelous menagerie: all you need do is sit on its banks and let the wildlife come to you.

That said, the diversity of this ecosystem ensures wildlife viewing is exceptional year-round. And it begins as soon as you touch down at Tarangire’s airstrip – the onward journey to your lodge, via bulbous baobabs and grassy plains, is a game drive, not a transfer. Enjoy a  sumptuous picnic hamper lunch in a secluded location within the park.  By the time you reach Treetops, you’ll already have spotted a host of species.

The magic continues: in a private conservancy bordering the national park, Elewana Treetops is like something from a fairytale, a scatter of suites teetering amongst the branches of the baobab and Marula trees. From your elegant eyrie you can look out, uninterrupted, over the sweeping plains, though you’ll want to come down now and then: to walk out with the Maasai for intimate bush encounters; to join night drives to see the action after dark; to relax in the lounge bar, watching over the waterhole below; and to sit on Sunset Hill late afternoon, cocktail in hand, to toast a great day’s end.

Shortly after breakfast at Tarangire Treetops, you will have a morning game drive en route to Kuro Airstrip for your flight to Serengeti.

KURO - SERO 09.45 hours - 10.35 hours

It’s hard to sum up the epic Serengeti. At 14,763 sq km, its scale is too great. And while you can revel in the bigger picture, it’s also the place to embrace the individual moments: the will-they-won’t-they tension of a lion pack on the hunt; the white-knuckle charge of an angry bull elephant; the dazzle of the sun subsiding into plains with no end.

Your accommodation in the Southern Serengeti. Experience the luxurious bygone- style tents of Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp perched on a rocky kopje. 

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 criss-cross the short grass plains with their new born calves. But the animals are always on the move: there is plenty to see, all over the park, year round.

After breakfast, drive to the airstrip for your flight to Lake Manyara Airstrip. 

SERO - MNY 10.55 hours - 11.30 hours

On arrival, Your guide will transfer you to The Manor at Ngorongoro where you will arrive in time for lunch. Your afternoon offers a variety of in-estate activities, such as an estate coffee tour, horse riding, a soothing massage treatment, or an afternoon at leisure enjoying the lush gardens before some pre-dinner cocktails.

There’s no need to rough it to enjoy this ‘festival’ though. Your home is The Manor Ngorongoro, quite possibly the most lavish address on the safari circuit. From your elegant Cape Dutch-styled cottage, tucked into the Tanzanian highlands, you can make forays through the surrounding coffee plantations.

Dinner will be served in the main Manor House.

Over 20km wide and 600m deep, Ngorongoro is a geological marvel and a festival of wildlife. This natural volcanic amphitheatre, lined with grasslands, acacia thickets, riverine forest and sparkling lakes, throngs with a cast of around 30,000 animals: the highest density of wildlife in Africa. Safaris here can be overwhelming, in the very best way.

Over the rim to explore the crater bottom: watch zebra and buffalo, lounging lions, spotted hyena and good numbers of black rhino, stopping for a gourmet picnic under the acacias.

Return to The Manor for a lovely hot bath.
