9 Nights – Tarangire, The Retreat at Ngorongoro, Simbavati Grumeti Lodge & Zanzibar

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Tanzania, where dramatic wilderness and coastal serenity come together in a seamless luxury escape.

Begin with a scenic drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, home to towering ancient baobabs and vast herds of elephants roaming golden savannahs. After immersive game drives, retreat to the cool, forested Ngorongoro Highlands for an extended stay at The Retreat at Ngorongoro. Here, descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater for world class wildlife viewing, or unwind with curated experiences including forest walks, waterfall hikes, spa indulgence, and meaningful village encounters.

Continue by air to the remote western Serengeti, where three nights at Simbavati Grumeti Lodge place you at the heart of sweeping plains rich in wildlife. Enjoy exclusive game drives, peaceful moments in the wild, and unforgettable encounters in one of Tanzania’s most pristine safari regions.

Conclude your adventure on Zanzibar, the spice island of the Indian Ocean, where three nights at a luxury beach resort invite you to slow down in barefoot elegance. Relax on powder white sands, swim in turquoise waters, and immerse yourself in Swahili culture as your safari journey transitions into coastal bliss.

This is Savannah & Shores, a carefully curated journey of contrast, beauty, and effortless flow from untamed wilderness to the calm of the sea.

Ideal for: Couples, honeymooners, friends and family
