Experience A Classic East African Safari

Tanzania's giants: Kilimanjaro & Arusha

The glacier-capped peaks of Kilimanjaro are undoubtedly the defining features of Tanzania’s Arusha region and the country at large. Thousands of climbers traverse its slopes to reach the summit each year, which holds the title of being Africa’s highest mountain as well as the highest freestanding mountain in the world. Climbers can navigate their way across any of the mountain’s seven routes. Kilimanjaro’s lesser-known but no-less-impressive neighbour, Mount Meru, is an active stratovolcano offering glorious views of the Arusha National Park and is renowned for being one of the most scenic mountain climbs. The game-rich savannahs at its...

A flourishing basin in the Ngorongoro Crater

Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater has been part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) since 1973. Aside from boasting a fertile floor and thus an abundance of wildlife (notably the Big 5), the crater is also the only intact caldera left in the world. Fun fact: many speculate—before Ngorongoro erupted—it would have been higher than the mighty Kilimanjaro. Located 1,800 metres above sea level in the Ngorongoro Highlands, the crater’s vegetation ranges from forest on one slope and grassland on the other, to a floor consisting largely of grassland renowned for leopard spotting. The crater is densely populated with other wildlife, including a...

Highlights

• Cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages
• Luxury accommodation available on the rim of the crater

Witness Africa's annual Great Migration

Stretching itself across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning.  It is unsurprising that the Serengeti’s bustling plains offer some of the most remarkable safari opportunities in the country, and visiting in the right season will promise astonishing...

Highlights

• Varied landscape ranging from volcanic grasslands, vast plains, rocky outcrops, rivers, and forests
• Game viewing all year round

Plan your trip to the Masai Mara

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly Kenya’s most notable and revered reserve. Its sheer size—extending to and eventually joining Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park—and stringent anti-poaching systems have made it famous for its remarkable populations of lion, cheetah, and leopard. It is also celebrated for being one of the stomping grounds of the Great Wildebeest Migration.

Highlights

• The most-visited reserve in Kenya—named in honour of the Maasai people
