The six luxurious rooms and two family rooms of the Arusha Villa are set in a beautiful garden with Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. The spacious rooms have en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, a sitting area and a private balcony or terrace.
Arusha Villa was originally a coffee roastery. In the garden elements from this time are still recognizable, for example around the pool, where in earlier days the coffee beans were washed. The beautiful garden overlooking the countryside invites you to rest in the sun. With a little luck, you‘ll even spot a Colobus Monkey in the treetops.
You can expect to see the Big-5 and during the dry months from July to October and some of the highest concentration of wildlife of any park in Tanzania.
Tarangire Ndovu Lodge offers 15 tents, which are slightly elevated on wooden platforms. One of the tents is called the Honeymoon Tent and features an additional outdoor shower. 2 x two standard tents can be connected to form two family rooms with two bedrooms each. Each tent is 20 metres long and 8 metres wide and offers enough space for a beautiful double bed, lounge chair, desk and en-suite bathroom with dressing room. Sliding doors open onto the covered balcony, from which a small staircase leads to the path connecting the rooms to the main building.
The main building comprises a lounge with bar, the dining tent, the spa and a souvenir shop. The large deck in front of the lodge leads to the pool and fire pit. The lodge is situated in the centre of Tarangire National Park and is open all year round.
Tarangire Ndovu is situated inside the National Park, in the central part of Tarangire National Park. The location of the camp provides guests with the unique opportunity to witness wildlife and explore the natural beauty of Tarangire National Park right from the start of their safari. Camps that are located outside the park need to pass the main gate each and every time they access the park, which minors the safari experience in our opinion.
The northern gate of Manyara National Park is located 120 km west of Arusha close to the village Mto wa Mbu. If you like we may stop here for a walk to discover a bit of the local village life.
The park is renowned for its good concentration of elephant and tree climbing lion. It is also home to large herds of buffalo, giraffe, hippo and antelope. The area is also home to a conspicuous number of olive baboons, which gather in groups of up to several hundred. The flamingos on the lake, of course, provide a fascinating spectacle, and with over 400 species, it is also a birding enthusiast’s dream.
Plantation Lodge rests like a green oasis on the soft, red-brown hills amidst the vastness and serenity of East Africa. Seamlessly nestled in the blossoming garden, the lodge's individually furnished rooms and suites exude a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Furnished with great attention to detail, the personal touch of this owner-run lodge can be seen and felt everywhere, and the warm and friendly service leaves no wish unfulfilled.
The lodge's 16 rooms are generously spaced out over the flowering garden; several come with verandas and direct access to the lush green garden. Each room is individually furnished with carefully selected accessories; freshly cut and arranged flowers offer a beautiful, decorative accent.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera with 19km in diameter and walls 600m high. Its floor covers 260 square kilometres and acts like a natural zoo, providing food for a high resident animal population.
The mineral-rich crater floor is covered with nutritious grass and attracts large herds of animals. Up to 25’000 mammals, primarily herbivores can be found at any one time in the Ngorongoro Crater. The list includes wildebeest, eland, hartebeest, zebra, gazelle, buffalo, rhinos and warthog. Moors and forests provide food for hippo, elephant, baboon, waterbuck and bushbuck. Big cat such as lion, cheetah, leopard and serval find rich pickings here. Large packs of hyena also roam the crater, hunting or pinching the prey of other predators.
The dusty gravel road leads primarily to the west where the vast plains of the Serengeti extend to the horizon. After two hours of brave driving, you arrive at Naabi Hill Gate where some bureaucracy needs to be sorted. After a short time we leave the main road and follow small paths across the endless grassy plains to your next camp.
Lemala Ewanjan Camp offers twelve tents with rich wooden floors and private verandas. Each tent is equipped with two queen-size beds, small private veranda, lounge, 24-hr solar electricity supply, flushing WC and safari shower (hot water is filled from the outside on request). Two of the tents are 2-bedroom suites that can accommodate a family or 4 adults.
Furnished and decorated in a traditional colonial style, the two well-maintained main tents house a bar and dining area.
The north of the Serengeti is more hilly and there are more trees. You will spot more and more zebras and wildebeest the further north we drive - with a bit of luck you may suddenly find yourself surrounded by thousands of animals spread over the endless hills. Small black dots as far as the eye can see!
Siringit Migration Camp moves with the Great Migration from north to south and places itself in the middle of the action. Zebras and Thompson gazelles mingle with the mighty herds of wildebeest, always on the lookout for fresh grass. Predators of all species hang around and wait for an opportunity to take down a grazer.
The camp consists of eight safari tents in the south and 10 tents while in the Mara area, of which two can connect to a two-bedroom family tent. The tents are raised on wooden platforms and include a covered veranda, a safari shower (hot water on order) and flush toilets. A small wood-burning stove provides pleasant warmth on cooler nights.
The center of Siringit Migration are its two beautifully furnished dining and lounge tents, where you can meet and mingle if you want. If weather allows, guests will enjoy their dinner close to camp fire under the stars.
