Tanzania’s ultimate luxury safari
It might seem a bold claim to say this is Tanzania’s ultimate luxury safari – however, with a night sleeping next to the coffee rows of Arusha, two nights in what has to be Africa’s most ostentatious lodge perched on a crater rim, and four nights in an exceptional Singita property, we think it’s the best!

- Pure luxury safari at its best
- Enjoying Tanzania’s finest views and private reserve in the Serengeti
- Ideal for catching the Great Migration between May and late July
- List Item Spectacular wildlife experiences on offer
- Sit back and be taken care of as you watch big game from the comforts of luxury!
Overview of the suggested Tanzania safari lodges and activities:
This 7-night safari begins with a stopover in Arusha, at the stylish yet comfortable Arusha Coffee Lodge. After a night of enjoying the gardens, swimming pool, and spa, you’ll travel to the Ngorongoro Crater and spend a few nights taking in the most amazing views from the well-placed &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. From this lodge, it is over to the Serengeti to another of Tanzania’s most luxurious lodges, Singita Faru Faru, which is located in the game-rich Grumeti region. As well as enjoying the seriously luxurious accommodation, you’ll go on expertly guided vehicle safaris in the spectacular Crater, and take part in game drives, game walks, community visits, and more, all within the first-rate Singita Grumeti Reserves within the Serengeti area. Please note that all of our safaris are tailor-made, meaning you can chop and change any element. For example, if you would like to add on some beach time at the end of your safari, just let us know. You can see a sample trip of a Tanzania luxury safari-and-beach trip here.

Upon landing into Tanzania, you will spend your first night in Arusha. You‘ll be met at the airport and transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge. Although you’ll stay just one night in Arusha, you can certainly take advantage of the many facilities and activities available at the lodge. Venture to the Pea berries spa to sample a range of wonderful treatments, before unwinding even more in the oval swimming pool. This is one of our favorite properties in Arusha for a relaxing stopover before a safari.
On Day 2, you’ll take a flight to Lake Manyara Airport, where you’ll be transferred to &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. Run by top safari company &Beyond, this property is famous for its unique Maasai-meets-Versailles style. All interiors are very lavish, featuring brocade sofas, beaded chandeliers, and panelled walls. And the views from the main lodge’s lounges, dining rooms, and decks are absolutely breath-taking! Every suite boasts a huge four-poster bed, an indoor fireplace, and a glamorous en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath. You even have your own butler, who will happily draw a rose-petal bubble bath for you! Here, you’ll enjoy an expertly guided game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater, with opportunities to spot all Big Five – lion, rhino, leopard, elephant, and buffalo – as well as numerous smaller mammals and ample birdlife. Other activities include walking safaris in the Empakai Crater and nature walks around the lodge. It’s a thrilling start to your holiday!
Today, we’ll take a cooking class with a local chef, learning how to make traditional dishes using local ingredients. After the class, we’ll enjoy a delicious meal together.
The final few days of your luxury trip are spent on idyllic Zanzibar! Small, intimate, and adults only, Zawadi Hotel is the perfect retreat, and will be your base for five nights. It has a lovely location on the Michamvi Peninsula, on Zanzibar’s south-east coast. The communal areas all have a very laidback beach feel, with their neutral-and-white furnishings and views of the sparkling sea. There’s a good assortment of in-house eateries, lounges and bars, as well as gorgeous grounds incorporating an infinity pool and a nature gym! Guest accommodation here consists of private villas, all well spaced along the ocean front. These too have that beach vibe, and each features a large double bed, a full en-suite bathroom, and sliding doors onto a private terrace. A stay here makes for a very romantic finale to your trip.
