A Detailed Tanzania And Seychelles Itinerary
Day 1: Coffee Break in Arusha | 1 Nights
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be greeted and transported to Arusha Coffee Lodge. This delightful lodge is situated on a verdant coffee estate, with breathtaking vistas of Mount Meru. Establish yourself in your cottage prior to perambulating the lush grounds to acclimatize to Africa. Stroll through the plantations, explore the markets of adjacent Arusha, or unwind in the poolside gardens with a refreshing beverage. On brisk winter evenings, nestle behind a fireplace and savour one of the most exquisite coffees you will ever experience.
Days 2-3: Fly to Lake Manyara | 2 Nights
Depart post-breakfast for your light plane journey to Lake Manyara, where a guide will be awaiting your arrival. You will be transported to Lake Manyara National Park and the forest of mahogany trees that houses Lake Manyara Tree Lodge. This is the sole lodge in the park, creating a unique and intimate ambiance.
The thatched, stilted treehouse suites emanate from the central salon, bar and dining area, each providing exquisite views. You will reside here for two nights, partaking in morning and afternoon game drives, as well as exhilarating night excursions. Anticipate a diverse array of natural ecosystems surrounding the lake, which serves as a refuge for flamingos and other aquatic avifauna. The woodlands and broad savannahs sustain a substantial population of elephants, among giraffes, buffalo, and several elegant antelope. The lions of Lake Manyara are the principal predators and are renowned for their distinctive behaviour of climbing trees.
Days 4-6: The Serengeti Migration | 3 Nights
You are now en route to the Serengeti. Your safari aligns with the Wildebeest Migration, a natural phenomenon in which over a million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse a large circular route in pursuit of summer rains. The large herds must navigate rivers with strong currents and hidden crocodiles while protecting their young from the formidable lion prides of the broad plains.
Your accommodation for three nights is Serengeti Under Canvas, a genuine tented camp that relocates in accordance with the Migration. As cosy as a permanent lodge while consistently providing an optimal vantage point to observe the Migration’s finest moments. Experience morning and afternoon game drives conducted by expert guides, along with exhilarating night drives, guided nature walks, and optional hot-air ballooning to fully appreciate the biggest terrestrial migration of animals globally.
Days 7-10: Private Island Bliss | 4 Nights
Residing at LABA Fanjove Island offers an unmatched luxury experience situated amid the stunning splendour of a secluded private island on a coral reef south of Dar Es Salaam. Upon arrival, you will be enthralled by the breathtaking views of azure oceans, verdant tropical palm groves, and immaculate white sandy shores.
The resort presents a refined array of villas, each crafted with understated elegance to reflect the island’s natural resources, achieving an ideal fusion of contemporary comfort and classic Creole allure.
