Adventure Begins

Adventure Begins

After all the time you've spent planning and dreaming about going on safari, this is where it finally starts. Your guide will
meet you and explain everything you need to know and answer any questions you might have. Then, you'll go out
on safari together. Of all Kenya's Rift Valley lakes, high-altitude Lake Naivasha offers the richest variety of experiences. There's lots to do here, and you might even see zebras, giraffes, or hippos. Its human story is also fascinating: Lake Naivasha was popular with colonial types as an escape from the city. It plays a similar role for locals now, especially on weekends.

Serengeti National Park is Calling

Serengeti National Park is Calling

You'll discover why so many safari visitors fall in love with the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you can imagine. You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and that may all just be before breakfast. You’ll never forget watching these animals interact, whether you see a hunt, a vast herd, or a mother protecting her cub or calf. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable— observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands, and great piles of boulders known as kopjes. One of the joys of staying at Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp is being in a part of the Serengeti that very few visitors get to see, and yet you're close to the big wildlife populations for which the park is famous. The tented rooms are luxurious and
filled with charm, and the views from some parts of the camp, including the dining area, are some of the biggest anywhere in the park.

Ngorongoro Crater Escapades

You’ll learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view
out across the caldera of this former volcano, quite apart from the altitude, will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail carries you onto the crater floor, where a unique wildlife offering is added to the sheer beauty of the experience. You’ll share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos, and hippos. An ecosystem has formed in the crater over the millennia since the volcano wrought its terrible fury upon the land. It could just be one of your best safari days ever.

Tarangire National Park Getways

Tarangire National Park Getways

Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps, and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here— Tarangire is a real lion stronghold —and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well. Stay at one of Arusha's premier hotels here at Arusha Coffee Lodge. The rooms are large and luxurious, and perfect for enjoying some time out from your safari here in northern Tanzania. The public areas, service, and restaurant are all just as good. Don't forget to go for a stroll through the lodge's lush coffee plantation.
