Overview

Take an incomparable journey through Tanzania and witness the wild spectacle of the Ngorongoro Crater, the endless plains of the Serengeti and the still, tranquil waters of Lake Victoria. This is a unique mix of classic East African safari experiences as well as breaking ground on new habituation efforts with chimp trekking at Rubondo Island Camp.

Your adventure starts with a one-night stay at Legendary Lodge before you head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This once ancient volcano is classed as a World Heritage Site and is home to thousands of animals coexisting with semi-nomadic Maasai tribes. This is where you will sample locally grown and brewed coffee, gain fascinating insights into Maasai culture and safari through a crater, while enjoying luxury accommodation.

The next part of this already incredible safari sojourn sees you being charter flown to the Serengeti, one of the world's most celebrated wilderness areas and host of the Great Migration. You will be spending your time in a migratory safari camp that follows the herds during the year. It's the ultimate disconnect from the modern world and an immersion into raw and wild Africa, where canvas is the only thing separating you from the landscape.

The final leg of this already incredible safari sojourn takes you to Lake Victoria. This is where you will spend some time exploring lush forests in search of monkeys and chimpanzees with researchers and rangers, dedicated to conservation efforts. Your leisure time will be spent cruising on the lake or sunbathing poolside, the perfect way to relax.
