Inspirational safari & beach holiday to Rwanda and Tanzania
A bucket-list, luxury holiday for the special occasion. Have an enriching encounter with Rwanda’s mountain gorillas, game drive through Tanzania’s Serengeti in search of big game and relax on an exclusive barefoot island paradise off the coast of Zanzibar. Begin in Rwanda at Singita Kwitonda Lodge located on the edge of the high-altitude cloud forests of Volcanoes National Park and with views of the Virunga volcano range. The once-in-a-lifetime experience of trekking the rare mountain gorilla is of course the highlight, however, this magical place has so much more to offer, from seeing golden monkeys to learning about Dian Fossey's conservation efforts.
From here, you will fly directly into the private Grumeti Reserve bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. At Singita Faru Faru, fall in love with nature; experience the great wildebeest migration (in season) and enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. Perfectly positioned between savannas and rivers, the lodge offers a plethora of wildlife at your doorstep, seen on game drives, nature walks and hot air balloon safaris.
At Mnemba Island ditch the shoes and relax. Dive, paddleboard or while away your days under an umbrella while your personal butler keeps your glass full. In-room massages are available, private dining on the beach every night is highly recommended and diving on the house reef is a must.
