Day 1: Arrival Arusha

Dinner and overnight at Arusha Coffee Lodge – HB
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire
After breakfast at your lodge you will have a briefing on your SkySafari. Enjoy a Coffee Tour of on the plantation to learn how the coffee is produced and what makes it so good.
You cant miss to visit the Shanga, a wonderful social enterprise that employs people with disabilities to create quality handmade products – watch the artisans at work, sewing, painting, weaving and glass-blowing, and perhaps pick up a souvenir or two.
After an alfresco lunch in the garden of the lodge, you will be transferred to Arusha Airport in time to board the SkySafari Caravan. Take to the air for your 20 minute flight to Kuro Airstrip in the Tarangire National Park.

Dinner and overnight at Elewana Tarangire Treetops-GP
Day 3: Tarangire
Spend the day in Tarangire with game drives.
Start the day traditionally, with 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. Then, after lunch back at camp, walk out 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 might miss from a vehicle. You can also visit a Masai village to find out more about the custodians of this land.
As the afternoon cools, there’s only one thing to be done: sit on Sunset Hill, Sundowner in hand, the classic way to toast a day on safari. A delicious dinner will follow, though you might want to squeeze in another adventure: night drives (permitted within the conservancy) are a chance to see the after-dark shift, from prickly porcupines to elusive leopards.

Day 4: Tarangire – Ngorongoro
After breakfast head out with your picnic to the airstrip for your a scenic flight to Manyara airstrip. Upon arrival at Manyara airstrip you will be met and take a lovely drive through the highlands to reach the epitome of elegance that is The Manor at Ngorongoro.
You’ll arrive in time for high tea, taken with views over the rippling forest, while your butler sorts the luggage. Then soak in your Victorian bathtub, cosy up by your suite’s open fire, enjoy a delicious dinner, maybe have a game of billiards and retire for the night.
Dinner and overnight Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro-GP
Day 5: Day Trip Lake Manyara
Today you will enjoy a day trip to Lake Manyara National park.
It’s certainly varied, attracting an astounding mix of life, from bushbuck and blue monkeys in the forests to tree-climbing lions in the acacia woods; from cheetah stalking antelopes on the grasslands to hippos wallowing in the mud. Most dazzling, though, is the flamboyance of flamingos – hundreds of the blushing birds flock here, along with more than 400 other avian species. Join a game drive after breakfast and stay until lunch, so you can picnic by the water’s edge.
Back at The Manor, the afternoon is all yours. Take a dip in the pool, book a treatment in the spa or join a guided walk around the coffee estate. Or you could head out on horseback, to get a different perspective on these verdant highlands, finishing with a Sundowner, of course. Top the day off with dinner in the elegant dining room, always a culinary delight.
Dinner and overnight Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro-GP
Day 6: Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Depart with your picnic lunch box and head down into the crater for a full day of exploration of the Ngorongoro Crater.
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.
Spend a full day in Ngorongoro – our expert guides will introduce you to its vast cast of characters: lions, elephants and buffalo, cheetah and serval cats, hyena, jackal and black rhino. Plus The Manor has special permission to host beautiful bush lunches in a private part of the crater, away from the crowds. You can picnic in exclusive style without missing a wildlife-packed minute.

Dinner and overnight at Elewana Serengeti Pioneer/Migration Camp-GP
Day 9: Serengeti
Another day in Serengeti with game drives.
Enjoy dinner back at camp, then sit out and listen one last time: to the eerie call of the nightjar and the whoop of a hyena, to the hippos’ belly guffaw and the lion’s nerve-trembling roar…
Dinner and overnight at Elewana Serengeti Pioneer/Migration Camp-GP
Day 10: Depart
Enjoy breakfast and lunch at your camp this morning before you head on a game drive enroute to the airstrip for your flight back to Arusha.
