An Authentic East African Experience

Summary Of The Route and Costs

Enjoy a safari that takes you into the heart of Africa. Witness nature from intimate camps with expert guides who reveal to you the secrets of the wild. Then indulge yourself with a stay in a private villa on the beach on Zanzibar, with a private butler catering to your every whim while you wait for the chef to stop by each morning to discuss your preferred menu for the day.

After a relaxing night in Arusha, you are taken to the airport where you fly into the Tarangire National Park where you will discover Africa just as it should be. This is Oliver's Camp - in the remote southern reaches of Tarangire National Park - situated in a spectacular location close to the game-dense Silale Swamps and overlooking a flood plain of the Minyonyo Pools. Oliver's was inspired by the trailblazing camps that pioneered the early days of safari. It gives you direct access to the dense concentration of wildlife you will find year-round in this remote region, as well as the chance to enjoy walking safaris.

A short flight takes you to your next destination. The Highlands redefines the Ngorongoro Crater experience. Set on the edge of the mountain forest hugging the Olmoti volcano to the north of Ngorongoro Crater, The Highlands strikes a perfect balance between a true wilderness experience and a high-style, contemporary escape. The famous Ngorongoro Crater is easily accessible from camp, but in addition you can follow ancient Masai trails to the summit of the Olmoti crater and visit local communities to catch a glimpse into the traditional Masai way of life that has defined this corner of East Africa for centuries.

You then fly to the iconic Serengeti. Dunia Camp is an all women-run camp, the first of its kind in the Serengeti. With easy access to 3 key game-viewing areas in the heart of the Serengeti and Great Migration viewing twice a year, timeless Dunia Camp is the perfect base for an exclusive Serengeti safari. On game drives, enjoy superb sightings of the big cats, leopard and rhino that roam the forests on the fringes of the Seronera River.

After 6 nights on safari, it is time to leave the bush and escape to your own private villa on the tropical Zanzibar Island. With a private roof terrace and plunge pool, a personal butler and in-room spa treatments, there's nothing left to do but relax in your hidden sanctuary.
