8 Days Acacia Safari

Arrive Kilimanjaro Airport, where you are met and transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge for your overnight. Lying on the gently rolling foothills that cascade down from the ever-present Mount Meru is the bustling and vibrant town of Arusha. It is here on the outskirts of this town, hidden amongst one of Tanzania’s largest coffee plantations, that you will find Arusha Coffee Lodge, a perfect haven for relaxation either before or after any East African safari. The homely feel of the Lodge is by no means accidental as the origins of the homestead continue to emit glimpses of times-gone-by. The friendly and personable staff help create an ambiance that continues to draw appreciation from all those who visit and stay.

Leave Arusha after a buffet breakfast for Lake Manyara National Park. Here, you’ll take a short game drive through its lush groundwater forest where you might even see its famous tree-climbing lions. In the early evening you’ll arrive at Acacia Farm Lodge. The charming Acacia Farm Lodge is neatly tucked away between the Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks on one side and the renowned Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti National Park on the other. Boasting spectacular views. The Unique configuration of the luxury suites provides for privacy and solitude for couples and smaller groups visiting the lodge. Whether you are traveling alone or you are a couple on your exclusive, romantic, private safari or a family looking to occupy your little ones or even a group with a diverse range of requirements, Acacia Farm Lodge is the place to be.

After breakfast, you will check out and drive off north to the world renowned Serengeti National Park, arriving in time for dinner and overnight at Singita Sasakwa Lodge - Built in the style of a stately Edwardian manor house and featuring a light and airy atmosphere, Singita Sasakwa Lodge offers panoramic views, a sense of immense freedom, and stillness. Striking the perfect balance between casual luxury and sophisticated elegance, it features a grand entrance, wraparound verandas, silver candelabras and coveted antiques, as well as bespoke décor elements such as local artefacts and tribal cushions.

After breakfast depart with game drive en-route, drive through the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, stopping en route for a visit to the world-famous Olduvai Gorge Palaeolithic site and reputed ‘Cradle of Mankind’. Enjoy picnic lunch at the site and thereafter proceed leisurely to Ngorongoro to check in at the The Manor Ngorongoro - Located adjacent to the famous Ngorongoro conservation area and within a 1500-acre Arabica coffee estate, The Manor is reminiscent of an elegant up-country farm home in the Cape Dutch-style of architecture. Every detail of The Manor has been designed with its guests’ comfort in mind. Each of the cottages has been carefully positioned to maximise the views of the adjacent verdant hills but at the same time to maintain the intimacy and privacy of this old-world Manor home.

After breakfast, return to Arusha, stopping for lunch at a popular local restaurant. Later enjoy the benefits of day accommodations at the Kilimanjaro Airport Hotel before a late transfer to the airport for your return flight home
