There’s no better haven to bookend your Tanzanian safari than the Legendary Lodge. Just 10 minutes from the Arusha Airport with your own private veranda overlooking Mount Meru, the Legendary Lodge is both conveniently and beautifully located. Take in the lush tropical garden and surrounding coffee farm before your adventure-packed trip.
Days 3-5
Lake Manyara National Park
Named Hemingway’s favorite park in all of Africa, Lake Manyara National Park is a classic Tanzanian destination: from its groundwater forest and elusive tree-climbing lions to hippos cooling off in the water and flamingos frolicking on the shoreline, its sights and sounds are unforgettable.
Overnight
Chem Chem Lodge
Nestled deep within the Burunge Wildlife Management Area, Chem Chem Lodge offers vintage safari opulence in the middle of the bush. Take in private views of Lake Manyara in your tent-style suite, designed with canvas, lava stones and wood for luxurious authenticity. Relax poolside with a sundowner in hand or sink into a spa treatment to rest up for tomorrow’s adventures.
Days 6-7
Ngorongoro Crater and Highlands
Explore the lush highlands and ancient volcanic crater by day and unwind at one of Africa’s most luxurious lodges by night. Traverse the crater floor and spot bull elephants, African buffalos, lions and endangered black rhinos.
Overnight
Gibb's Farm
Fresh food, fresh air, and fresh perspectives abound at Gibb’s Farm (a three-time Travel + Leisure Top Safari Lodge in Africa). After full days of exploration, relax in your eco-friendly cottage, set amidst the farm’s lush gardens. Enjoy an outdoor shower, in-room spa treatment, farm-to-table dining, and learning about local culture from the attentive staff.
Days 8–11
Serengeti National Park
Fly to the iconic Serengeti, where acacia trees and granite kopjes dot the seas of waving grass. Your camp is a short, picturesque drive from the Seronera air strip. The Serengeti offers everyday opportunities to spot Tanzania’s most impressive wildlife—including big cats—and witness dramatic moments in the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras.
