About the Safari

From $12,250 to $16,750 per Person

This exceptional safari begins in Arusha, where guests can unwind after international travel in a charming lodge set against the backdrop of Mount Meru. From there, the journey continues to Tarangire National Park, known for its ancient baobab trees, large elephant herds, and dramatic dry-season wildlife concentrations. Next is the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where guests descend into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera for a day of remarkable game viewing. The adventure then moves north to the Serengeti, with time in the remote northern reaches to witness the Great Migration as it gathers near the Mara River. Finally, the safari concludes across the border in Kenya’s Masai Mara.
