URBAN E NOMADS TANZANIA ULTRA LUXURY SAFARI

1 TANZANIA

2 TANZANIA This classic itinerary, combining the Northern Route in Tanzania with a spectacular beach retreat at the end of your safari is an excellent introduction to the East African luxury safari. The designated entry point here is Dar Es Salaam but depending on where you are arriving from, can be similarly tweaked to be Kilimanjaro- allowing for a more efficient base to explore Northern Tanzania. And whilst Mnemba is our recommended beach retreat, we could similarly arrange private transfers to the Seychelles or a private island in Mozambique with serious eco-luxe credentials.

3 Day 1 Day 2 Dar Es Salaam Arrival in Dar Es Salaam. Overnight in boutique hotel Oyster Bay. Oozing East African chic, the Oyster Bay hotel, located in the Oyster Bay district of Dar es Salaam serves as a perfect base for the beginning and end of your stay in Tanzania. Ngorongoro Flight and land transfer to Ngorongoro. Well deserving of its place on any Places to see before you die list, the Ngorongoro Crater is a spectacular destination. Based at the delightfully baroque Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, perched right in front of the Ngorongoro Crater, these boma-like structures house the most urbane luxuries in the remoteness of Ngorongoro. With electric blankets, a warm fire and exquisitely plush accoutrements, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge has a charmed location, an intimation of which you will receive when you are instructed to request for an askari at all times before stepping out of your boma - style lodging(for fear of a errant Cape buffalo on the grounds of the hotel). Forming a Harry Potteresque silhouette in the evenings, you will be treated to a positively magical view in the morning-with the mist arising from the crater against the background of the green surroundings of the lodge.

4 Day 3-6 Serengeti Transfer after a leisurely breakfast for a late morning flight connection to the Serengeti.Based at the Singita Serengeti (choose between 3 very different styles), explore this extraordinary private reserve that is about the size of the Masai Mara! Catering towards the rehabilitation of the black rhino, this private reserve spells more like a visionary social experiment than a luxury lodge. Game drives are supplemented with exquisite food and should the need present itself, there is a Dermalogica spa within the privileged surrounds of the Singita Serengeti reserve. Day 6-9 Zanzibar & Mnemba Transfer flight to Zanzibar. Very few islands boast the cache of Zanzibar. With a colourful and at times, chequered history, Zanzibar speaks of billowing sails, romantic tales of beautiful African princesses (whose legends still live on in the Old Town) and where the Swahili is at its most melodious. Based here at the Baraza Zanzibar. An alternative recommendation would be the exclusive island lodge of Mnemba, surrounded by an atoll of breathtaking coral reefs. A rustic eco-luxe getaway, Mnemba island makes for a fitting end to your Tanzanian safari

5 Day 10 Dar Es Salaam Transfer back to Dar es Salaam. Overnight at Oyster Bay and transfer back the next day for international flight back.
