11 Days
|
This once in a lifetime adventure safari is designed with the aim of creating magnificent and unique experiences with expert guiding, stunning properties and outstanding regions. Your journey begins with a private 4x4 vehicle drive through the renowned northern parks of Tanzania, Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, with a knowledgeable and passionate guide. Followed by a short flight to the remarkable Serengeti National Park where guests will be in a prime location for viewing the Great Wildebeest Migrations' perilous river crossings, while overnighting in a rustic mobile camp. After an eventful safari packed with extraordinary game sightings, adventurous activities and breathtaking landscapes, a flight to Zanzibar will take you to an exclusive beach lodge where you can recount your safari adventures from the comfort of your private plunge pool.
**This itinerary is only available from Mid-June to Mid-November due to the mobile camp (later in the itinerary) chosen for the Serengeti; however, a very similar version is possible using the same camp in a different location from Mid-December to Mid-April as it moves with the Great Wildebeest Migration. (Rates may vary)** |

Day 4-6 Entamanu Camp - Ngorongoro Crater Rim (2 Nights, All-in)
Depart from Tarangire in your 4WD safari vehicle with a picnic lunch, drive through Lake Manyara National Park and enjoy the dramatic landscapes and myriad water birds, then continue up the Rift Valley towards the Crater Rim, with unrivalled views throughout! After a night spent enjoying the breathtaking views from the Rim, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to explore its’ diverse and abundant wildlife!
Situated on the remote western rim of the Ngorongoro Crater this lodge offers breathtaking panoramic views. It is the only place that you can watch the sun rise over the crater and set over the vast Serengeti plains, behind the camp. The degree of style and charm achieved in Nomad’s Entamanu is not an easy feat in light of the, at times, challenging climate on the crater rim; particularly as it has been constructed with no permanent structures and with locally sourced material; built to fit around the flora but not intrude upon it. If you are looking for a small exclusive camp with excellent service we think this is an idyllic base from which to visit the crater. The 7 elevated canvas tents in this camp all have mesmerising views of the crater from the wooden terraces where you can unwind and absorb the wilderness beyond. The tents interiors are elegantly decorated with polished wooden furniture, calming neutral colours and plenty of wool and sheepskin blankets to keep you warm during the cool nights. All tents have a spacious ensuite bathroom with flush toilets and hot/cold showers.
Activities Offered: Driving Safaris, Walking Safaris, Maasai Village Trips
