The Tanzania Tapestry

We start in Tarangire with its immense baobabs, acacias and mixed woodland punctuate the plains. Here and in each of the other three parks you will get close to wildlife.

In Lake Manyara you may be lucky enough to spot tree-climbing lions, which would be a highlight of this trip.

In Ngorongoro and the Serengeti you are in prime position to see wildlife. Accommodation is hand-picked and includes Serengeti Migration Camp, a permanent luxury lodge. The lodge is located in the northern corridor of the park, on the main wildebeest migration route between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara, along the bank of the Grumeti River. It is raised up on the side of an impressive kopje known as Poacher's Lookout, with broad views north over the undulating Serengeti hills and beyond to the plains of the Masai Mara.
