8-Day Luxury Safari in Tanzania with Tarangire and Serengeti

• Arrive in Arusha, your gateway to Tanzania's treasure store. The charming town of Arusha rests beneath the mighty gaze of Mount Meru and is an ideal base from which to explore Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit.
• Savour the beautiful scenery of Arusha, taking a short tour of the city and its amazing people, landscapes, and food.

• Stay at Gran Melia Arusha, a tranquil connection to your Tanzania safari. A little over an hour from Kilimanjaro Airport and a few minutes from Arusha Airport, Gran Melia Arusha is the perfect stopover on your way to or from a Tanzanian safari. An oasis within Arusha, it is set on 18 acres of beautifully landscaped coffee and tea plantations. Pure tranquillity with spectacular views of Mount Meru, Gran Meliá Arusha offers a unique experience, combining one of the most exciting once-in-a-lifetime safari destinations with state-of-the-art luxury facilities.

• Arrive at Tarangire and see predator and prey side by side in this beautiful natural spectacle. Tarangire National Park is a hidden gem in Tanzania's famed Northern Safari Circuit. With herds of elephants, lions, and other game animals flocking to its riverbanks and swamps during the dry season, it offers an excellent East African safari. As many safari-goers refer to it as a second Serengeti, Tarangire indeed lives up to the expectation of the name.

• Arrive in Ngorongoro Crater and explore the conservation area. Home to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the Ngorongoro Highlands in northern Tanzania offer many fascinating leisure experiences for visitors. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the conservation area allows visitors to sample locally grown and brewed coffee, safari through a crater, hike another, and walk in the footsteps of early man.
• The Ngorongoro Crater is famed for being the only intact caldera in the world. A wildlife sanctuary flourishes in its basin, where the floor has been fertilised by volcanic soil, attracting various wildlife ranging from lions and leopards to elephants and hippos.

• • THE HIGHLANDS AT NGORONGORO

Set on the lush slopes of Olmoti Volcano, The Highlands has sweeping views right across to the Serengeti. The eight tents are canvas and perspex domes - a design inspired by traditional Maasai bomas. Our library is at the heart of the camp, with its indoor fireplace replacing the typical safari campfire. At night, gather around a crackling fire with a glass of wine or whiskey before sitting down to a delicious three-course dinner. Luxury in every imaginable way!

• Enter Serengeti National Park. Stretching across 1.5 million hectares of land, Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife, most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps even more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out.

• • SERENGETI SAYARI CAMP

The award-winning Sayari Camp is based in the north of Serengeti National Park. It is a prime location to witness thousands of wildebeests crash across the Mara River as part of the Great Migration.

Overlooking the golden plains, the 15 bright and spacious suites have walk-in showers, al fresco tubs, and verandas on which you can laze away the afternoon with a book. Sayari's rim-flow pool is set between natural rock formations for guests to cool off while watching elephants or zebras ambling by.

• Still in the Serengeti, a park perhaps best known for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out.
• Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and a small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning. Unsurprisingly, the Serengeti's bustling plains offer some of the most remarkable safari opportunities in the country, and visiting in the right season promises an astonishing wildlife spectacle.
