Nestled on 18 acres of beautifully landscaped coffee and tea plantations, with sweeping views of Mount Meru, this hotel offers tranquility and opulence in equal measure.

With fewer crowds, you can enjoy intimate moments with wildlife like giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs, and the iconic black-and-white colobus monkeys. You may choose a canoeing excursion on Momella Lakes or a walking safari led by an armed ranger—offering a thrilling and respectful proximity to animals like zebras and waterbucks. This slower-paced day is the perfect warm-up to the larger parks ahead.

This park also shelters tree-climbing pythons, fringe-eared oryx, impalas, giraffes, and over 500 bird species. Enjoy a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch under the shade of acacias.

On the way, you’ll pass through the Ngorongoro Highlands—lush, misty landscapes that contrast sharply with the vast Serengeti plains. Once inside the park, prepare for a visual feast: golden savannahs dotted with acacia trees and herds of zebra, wildebeest, and gazelle grazing against a timeless backdrop. The afternoon game drive introduces you to the pulse of the Serengeti, with chances to spot lions lazing in the sun or hyenas on the prowl.

Between sightings, enjoy a bush breakfast set up in the wild—a five-star picnic in the savannah. This is also a prime day to add on a hot air balloon safari (optional) for a breathtaking aerial view of the wildlife and landscape.

Your guide will explain migration dynamics and take you to prime viewing areas while respecting the animals’ space. In the evening, gather around the fire at your luxury lodge, sipping Tanzanian wine under a star-filled sky.

Spot lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and endangered black rhinos, often all in one game drive. The crater’s lush wetlands and acacia woodlands create a spectacular setting.
