This is a luxury, fly-in safari in Tanzania's northern circuit, Africa's most celebrated safari area. It offers phenomenal game concentrations and an astounding diversity of landscape. Stay in the circuit's most exclusive accommodation in Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, all whilst being guided by the finest guides in the business. Your safari begins in Lake Manyara with a stay overnight in an intimate treehouse suite at Lake Manyara Tree Lodge set in an ancient mahogany forest. See the park's tree-climbing lions and seasonal flamingos before flying to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Maasai meets Versailles, on the rim of the Crater.
Experience the Big 5 all whilst enjoying the sumptuous atmosphere of this unique lodge. The flagship of the northern circuit is of course the Serengeti National Park where a stay is essential. It is home to endless plains and the world's greatest concentrations of wildlife. The annual wildebeest migration is an ongoing source of inspiration to filmmakers and photographers. Stay in the far flung Grumeti Serengeti River Lodge where you can expect the ultimate in exclusivity.
