Be welcomed on your nine night Tanzania journey at Lake Duluti Lodge in Arusha Town. Spend your one night here opting between urban and rural adventures before flying to The Serengeti where famous plains, African predators and a stunningly located lodge await. From Lamai Serengeti, which sits atop the Kogakuria kopjes, you’ll enjoy incredible views, Big Five game and expertly guided drives and bushwalks. From here, you’ll take a flight and boat to the iconic Greystone Mahale, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. Four nights will provide enough time to revel in this spectacular location, whether discovering the mountains, chimpanzees and lakes of Mahale Mountain National Park or simply making the most of the beachside bar and mountainous backdrop. Your trip concludes with a night at one of Tanzania’s largest working coffee plantations. Wake to the smell of fresh beans before journeying to Arusha National Park to witness the snow-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro.

Arusha and Arusha National Park

The town of Arusha, Tanzania self-styled safari capital, is more of a tourist funnel than a destination in its own right, but the eponymous national park, less than an hour’s drive away, offers the opportunity to undertake game drives, or canoe on bird-rich lakes, or explore densely forested volcanic craters - all within eyeshot of the peerless snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro.

The Serengeti

The famous ‘northern circuit’ is home to Stomping ground of the 2 million strong Great Migration and home to the highest concentration of predators in Africa, Serengeti National Park is one of those rare places that exceeds your imagination. The Serengeti is the Africa that we all have in our minds – endless grass plains stretching as far as the horizon, punctuated only by the odd flat-topped acacia tree.

Property

Lamai Serengeti

Suite, Fully Inclusive

Perched on the dramatic Kogakuria kopje overlooking northern Serengeti's endless plains, Lamai offers twelve rooms spread among ancient boulders, each with spectacular wilderness views. The Mara River lies just 20 minutes away for crossing spectacles, while exceptional resident wildlife ensures year-round drama.

Mahale Mountains National Park

One of Africa’s premier chimpanzee-tracking destinations, Mahale Mountains is also wonderfully scenic, with a setting reminiscent of a remote tropical island beach idyll. Set within the Rift Valley, it sprawls verdantly across a mountainous knuckle rising from the sandy shores of Lake Tanganyika - not only the world’s longest freshwater body, measuring more than 675km from north to south, but also the second-deepest and reputedly least polluted.

Property

Greystoke Mahale

Tached Banda, Fully Inclusive

Greystoke Mahale is a castaway fantasy forged from reclaimed dhow timbers on Kangwena Beach, where the 2,462m Mahale Mountains plunge into Lake Tanganyika's depths. The camp exists for one reason: the M-Group chimpanzees. Habituated since 1965 by Japanese researchers, these 60-70 chimps allow extraordinary proximity as they groom, forage, and navigate social hierarchies. Yet Greystoke offers more, the world's second-deepest lake glitters beyond the beach, with the Congo rainforest over the horizon. This is not a lodge you visit. It is a place that changes what you expect from the wild.
