The Arusha Coffee Lodge is situated within one of the largest coffee plantations in Tanzania, below the peaks of Mount Meru. The perfect haven to revitalize yourself before you start your safari.

We highly recommend an uplifting tour to Shanga, a glass and weaving workshop that supports and empowers people with disabilities. Other activities include:‘Bean-to-cup’ coffee tour; Arusha National Park; A visit to the Tanzanite Museum.

As one of the 7 natural wonders of Africa, the Ngorongoro Crater is a once in a lifetime kind of escape. Often referred to as “The Garden of Eden,” this magical volcanic caldera is nearly 3 million years old.

When exploring the crater floor, expect to see resident prides, hyena clans, large elephants and even the endangered black rhino. The birdlife is also incredible with pelicans and flamingos congregating around Magadi Lake. Look-out for the heaviest flying bird in the world - the Kori Bustard.

For the adventurous, a scenic Olmoti or Empakai Crater walk is a must!

Let’s get the numbers in… Between January to March; over 8,000 wildebeest are born every day, over 400,000 zebras and 200,000 gazelles; with an estimated 1.5 million wildebeest!

Migrational luxury canvas camps are situated in the perfect position to anticipate the Great Wildebeest Migration movements, providing you with the perfect opportunity to witness the largest terrestrial mammal migration in the world.

During this time, off-roading is also permitted. This will allow you to move in all directions with the herds and follow predators looking for opportunities to hunt.

A vital part of the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem, this private concession of over 350 000 acres is home to some of Tanzania’s most luxurious lodges, such as Singita Faru Faru Lodge and the exclusive Singita Serengeti House.

The landscape is a photographer's dream with dramatic life-giving storms and rainbows across wide open spaces during this time. The area is known for its large resident lion prides - sometimes between 20 to 60 strong! Between December and February the lesser Topi migration can also potentially be seen in the Western Corridor.
