Recommended itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Arusha

Welcome to Tanzania. Upon arrival in Arusha, a local representative will be waiting for you at the airport. You’ll transfer to your comfortable hotel with a refreshing pool and views of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro. The rest of the day is free to relax ahead of your safari adventure. Overnight at Kibo Palace Hotel (or similar).

Day 2

Arusha & Lake Manyara

After breakfast, drive for 2-hours past rustic villages and coffee, maize, and banana plantations to Lake Manyara. You’ll arrive in time for lunch at the Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, a rustic-luxe lodge located on the rim of the Great African Rift Valley. After lunch, enjoy your first game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, an impressive landscape mixing dense forest, small open plains and lush waterside grasses. Here you’ll search for buffalo, hippos, elephants, flamingos and the tree-climbing lions that the park is famous for. Overnight at Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge (or similar).

Day 3

Lake Manyara & Serengeti

Today you’ll take a scenic 5-hour drive north through the highlands to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, arriving at Embalakai Camp in time for lunch. Serengeti is one of the most prominent national parks in Africa, filled with an abundance of varied wildlife with a particularly high concentration of big cats. The park also boasts some of the richest birdlife in the region with over 500 species including ostrich, hornbill, African fish eagle and the secretary bird. You’ll spend the afternoon exploring the open plains on a game drive, before returning to camp for dinner. Overnight at Embalakai Camp (or similar).

Day 4

Serengeti

Today you’ll enjoy a full day game drive in the Serengeti, but first there’s the opportunity to take a thrilling hot-air balloon safari to gain a whole new perspective of the Serengeti. Wake early and watch as the balloon is prepared, then take flight and drift upwards as the sun rises. The bright pink-orange haze is visible for miles across the vast savannah, as wildlife roam below. After breakfast, head into the national park in search of the big cats, rhino, buffalo and giraffe that inhabit its vast open plains. You’ll enjoy a delicious picnic lunch while admiring the monumental panorama and seemingly endless horizon. Overnight at Embalakai Camp (or similar).

Day 5

Serengeti & Ngorongoro

After breakfast, drive for 4.5-hours to Ngorongoro with the chance of viewing game across the vast Serengeti plains. You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch en route, before heading into the incredible Ngorongoro Crater for an afternoon game drive. This collapsed volcanic crater is 12 miles in diameter and 600 metres deep, with fertile soil and a vast lake attracting a huge range of wildlife including the Big Five and critically endangered black rhino. After a memorable safari experience, drive to your colonial-style lodge located on a hillside above the quiet town of Karatu, where dinner, with far-reaching views, will be served. Overnight at Oldeani Mountain Lodge (or similar).

Day 6

Ngorongoro & Departure

This morning drive for 3-hours to Arusha, for lunch before your return flight to the UK or onward travel.

Zanzibar x nights from £xxx per person, ref xxxxx
Just a short light aircraft flight from Arushai, the exotic ‘spice island’ of Zanzibar is the perfect post-safari tonic. UNESCO World Heritage-listed Stone Town is a mix of labyrinthine alleyways, Sultan’s palaces, historic buildings and vibrant markets, while the ‘stay longer’ reason is Zanzibar’s palm-fringed sands, which are regularly voted among the world’s best beaches.

Uganda gorilla trekking x nights from £xxx per person, ref xxxxx
Day 1: Entebbe Fly from Arusha to Entebbe and transfer to your hotel for the night. Stay: The Boma Hotel (or similar).

Day 2: Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park There’s an early start this morning as you are picked up and transferred to the airport for your flight to Kisoro airstrip in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The dramatic landscape of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is one of the best places in the world for gorilla sightings. This 32,000-hectare national park in south-eastern Uganda has a remarkable biodiversity, with more than 160 species of tree and over 100 types of fern. It’s home to many endangered species, from rare birds and butterflies to the majestic mountain gorilla. Your base here is the peaceful Chameleon Hill Lodge – a quirky and bright boutique hotel with 10 en-suite rooms. Stay: Chameleon Hill Lodge (or similar). B, L, D.

Day 3: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park After an energising breakfast, head out on your gorilla trek. Register at the ranger station for a briefing before heading out into the undergrowth in search of mountain gorillas. Your permit to enter the park is one of a limited number and a non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place. After being assigned a gorilla family to visit, you’ll enter the park’s dense rainforest in search of these magnificent creatures, accompanied by experienced guides. Your trek could last anywhere from half an hour to seven hours, depending on the location of the gorillas. You might spot young gorillas climbing and playing, or a mother with a tiny wide-eyed baby. And just being close to a huge silverback is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. All precautions are taken to protect the gorillas. Viewing times are limited to one hour, there’s a maximum of eight people per group, and only one visit to each gorilla family per day. This makes the experience not only exclusive; it offers peace of mind too. This afternoon you’ll go for a community visit to meet the local Kisoro people. Stay: Chameleon Hill Lodge (or similar). B, L, D.

Day 4: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park Today you’ll visit a Batwa pygmy community and learn about the ways they depend on the forest for survival, like harnessing honey, using shrubs for medicine and constructing huts from trees, leaves and climbing plants. Return to the lodge for lunch and a relaxed afternoon. Stay: Chameleon Hill Lodge (or similar). B, L, D.

Day 5: Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park Fly to Entebbe for your return flight to the UK. B.
