Travel Detail

Following your leisurely breakfast at Arusha Coffee Lodge, you transfer to Arusha Airport for the SkySafari flight to Tarangire National Park. You have a full day of game viewing in the park with a private picnic lunch served in the bush. Late afternoon arrival at the camp for sundowners and a traditional Maasai boma dinner in the camp. 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 to 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. By the time you reach Treetops, you'll already have spotted a host of species.

Elewana Tarangire Treetops

Centered about a Main Lodge - which itself encases a thousand year-old baobab tree - Tarangire Treetops comprises of 20 treehouses all of which are elevated above the ground affording views over the tops of surrounding marula and baobab trees. Each treehouse boasts one of the largest bedrooms to be found in any camp or lodge in East Africa - with a floor space of 65 square metres - and all with an exotic double shower en suite bathroom. With furnishings that create warmth and demonstrate a commitment to local craftsmanship, the 'up-in-the-air' experience is completed by the open-fronted room design affording views across the Tarangire plains from an expansive but private balcony.

Following breakfast at the camp, you have a shared game drive in the park returning for lunch. You then have a shared, escorted bush walk guided by the camp’s naturalist (age restrictions may apply). Following the bush walk, you visit a Maasai village and then proceed to a viewpoint to enjoy light snacks and a selection of beverages as you watch the sun set over the African bush.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Manyara Airstrip for your onward flight to Serengeti. Enjoy a game drive enroute to camp. After a delicious lunch at your camp, venture out on your afternoon game drive before returning to camp for dinner. 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 shock of a crocodile bursting from the river; the white-knuckle charge of an angry bull elephant; the dazzle of the sun subsiding into plains with no end.
