Comprising of 30 plantation houses that radiate out into the evergreen coffee fields, Arusha Coffee Lodge has been designed around the original landowner’s home that dates back to the early 1900’s.
Day 2: Manyara Ranch Camp
Manyara Ranch Conservancy offers a superb wilderness area with an excellent cultural mix for the active traveler in Tanzania. Manyara Ranch Conservancy is in a uniquely important location, situated between two national parks: Tarangire and Lake Manyara. Several kinds of animals (zebras, wildebeests, elephants, etc.) use the area as a migration corridor, essential to their survival during the dry season.
By creating the trust, African Wildlife fund helped to save this land from agriculture and excessive branching, which would destroy the corridor and severely damage these animals’ migration routes.
Day 3 and 4: Lake Masek Tented Camp
Lake Masek Tented Camp is an ecological camp without losing comfort and attention. The electricity is generated by solar panels and the water is rain water collected during the rains. All the products used are biodegradables. Besides, the area is the main setting of the Great Migration which takes place from December to April and the Big Five visit the area.
The camp is set-up every year in a different part of the area, to make sure that you will always have the best place to see this impressive spectacle from your own tent.
Day 5 and 6: Nasikia Camp
Located on an elevated viewing point beside the famous Moru Kopjes, this tented camp allows for a drive in and game package clients to explore the resident and migratory wild game all year round. The landscape pans from the great southern plains of the Serengeti into the central hub of the most famous national park in Africa, close to Seronera Airstrip.
The tented suites cater for honeymooners with private bush dinners, a small group of friends, and even families with large tents to place bedding for two adults and up to three children. Wash off the 'safari powder' in the large shower recess and perch yourself on the verandah to watch the sun set on the horizon.
Day 7: Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp
Lemala Ngorongoro Tented Camp is an intimate camp set in a delightful ancient acacia forest on the rim of the crater, next to the quiet Lemala access route.
