    A picnic lunch in Ngorongoro Crater

    Game drives and a picnic in Africa's original "Garden of Eden"

    Believed by many to have been Africa's original "Garden of Eden," Ngorongoro Crater ranks among the world's largest calderas, and contains one of the oldest and most diverse ecosystems on Earth. Within this dormant volcano's walls lie short grasslands, swamps, forests and a freshwater lake – all of which inspire a continuous parade of migrating wildlife. You'll not only embark on a game drive in this "lost world," but a private picnic lunch inside the crater will be a highlight of your trip.

    Tarangire Kuro Treetops

    Treetop tranquility

    Nestled in the heart of Tarangire National Park, home to Tanzania's largest elephant population, the 5-star Tarangire Kuro Treetops Lodge offers an unforgettable stay among the ancient baobab trees, often revered as the "Tree of Life." Its 25 elegantly designed treetop tents feature en-suite bathrooms with both indoor and outdoor showers, as well as private verandas that invite you to soak in the tranquility of the wilderness. Located just 10 minutes from the seasonal Tarangire River and 15 minutes from the Silale Swamp, this area draws an abundance of wildlife, from majestic lions and elusive leopards to over 500 bird species. As the sun sets, gather around the open fire for storytelling and Maasai cultural lessons, immersing yourself in the rich heritage and traditions of the land. 

    Ngorongoro Oldeani

    An elegant escape in the wild

    Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain Lodge is a five-star sanctuary set on 40 acres of lush gardens, surrounded by over 3,000 trees and home to 300 bird species. Perched on a scenic hilltop, it offers unspoiled 360-degree views of Oldeani Mountain and the Ngorongoro Crater – one of Africa's most breathtaking natural wonders. After a day of adventure, unwind with a rejuvenating spa treatment, a refreshing dip in the infinity pool, or a quiet evening by the open-air fireplace before retreating to elegantly designed guest rooms with private verandas that invite you to soak in the tranquility of the surroundings. Whether embracing the serenity of the lodge or exploring the wild landscapes beyond, a stay here is truly a feast for the senses.

    Tour the Serengeti from a hot air balloon

    A birds-eye view of the roaming wild

    Set flight on a once in a lifetime adventure as you soar new heights over the legendary Serengeti. As the burner ignites, rise gently above the vast plains, soaking in breathtaking views of one of the world's most iconic landscapes. In the golden glow of dawn, witness the Serengeti come to life – zebras grazing, herds of elephants trekking the plain, and predators stirring with the first light of day. Delight in a champagne breakfast in the heart of the bush following your sightseeing adventure to commemorate an experience you'll never forget.

    A day in a Tanzanian classroom

    A lesson in connection

    A visit to the Isoitok Village in Tanzania offers an enriching learning opportunity. Spend time at a local primary school, where eager students welcome you with smiles and curiosity, excited to share their lessons and aspirations. Exchange knowledge as you learn a few words in the Maasai language while helping them practice English, fostering a true cultural connection. More than just a school visit, this is a shared experience - one that bridges communities, broadens perspectives, and celebrates the power of learning together.

    Private cruise on a traditional dhow

    Day 9

    Sailing off on a dhow for an "Indian Ocean Safari"

    Dhows – traditional, handcrafted Arabian sailboats – have sailed the waters of the Indian Ocean and the Zanzibar archipelago for centuries, trading and fishing their way from one port to the next. Set out to sea aboard a dhow on a private cruise for an "Indian Ocean safari" – keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins frolicking in the waves. Cast anchor off a beach for lunch in a paradise of white sands and turquoise sea... and perhaps swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters off beautiful coral reefs.

    Kirawira Tented Camp

    Nights 6 and 7

    Edwardian grandeur on the Serengeti plains

    Sitting on a hilltop overlooking the vast plains of the Serengeti, Kirawira Tented Camp is patterned after the classic African hunting camps of the Edwardian era. Offering amazing views of the endless savanna and the parade of wildlife passing through it, your spacious en suite tent is raised on a wooden platform, and features furnishings evoking the grand style of a century ago.

    This trip was the best experience I've ever had on vacation. Our Tauck Director was incredible – she saw to every detail & the guides and drivers were fantastic.
