The Tanzania Royal safari

This breathtaking flying safari offers an unforgettable journey into Northern Tanzania with stays in Conservation Corporation Africa's exclusive lodges.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is discreetly tucked away in an ancient mahogany forest close to the exquisite soda lake.

There are ten stilted tree house suites with large windows, contemporary furnishings, overhead fans, mosquito nets and earthy understated features.

Grumeti River Camp is situated in a remote valley in the western corridor of the Serengeti. This flamboyant camp overlooks a bywater of the Grumeti River and offers a comfortable haven from which to experience the truly wild pulse of Africa. Ten spacious tents under makuti canopies.

Klein's Camp is a small, elegant safari lodge set deep in the heart of Masai territory in the buffalo-rich northeastern Serengeti. Ten intimate rock and thatch cottages, with rich wooden floors and serene classic interiors. As in days gone by, water for the shower of your en suite bathroom is warmed each evening by a roaring fire under the tank while you enjoy quiet sundowner drinks on your private verandah.

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, perched on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most architecturally spectacular safari lodges in Africa.
