5 SIGNATURE TRADEMARKS ICONIC DESTINATIONS Tanzania - Serengeti National Park The Serengeti National Park, meaning endless plains in the Maasai language, is renowned for it s awe-inspiring wildlife and breath-taking landscapes. As one of world s most celebrated wilderness areas, the Serengeti has been an ongoing source of inspiration for writers, filmmakers and photographers. As with Kenya s Masai Mara, the Serengeti boasts incredible year-round wildlife, especially large prides of lion. It is from here that the seasonal annual Great Migration migrates to the Mara affording thrilling sightings of river crossings and predator/prey interactions. The Western Corridor of the park is a photographer s dream destination, with its beautiful landscape. This section of the Serengeti is relatively secluded, which means that guests usually have sightings to themselves and are able to spend long periods of time with a lion pride, capturing changing dynamics within the pride. ACCOMMODATION The adventure starts and ends in Arusha, Tanzania. Spend one night at Arusha Coffee Lodge* in a plantation room with a lovely ensuite bathroom. The photographic expedition includes a 5/6/8 night stay at &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp. Accommodation is in a spacious tent with ensuite bathroom and an open-air shower. Arusha Coffee Lodge The aptly named Arusha Coffee Lodge lies hidden amongst the sprawling grounds of Tanzania s largest coffee plantation below the rugged peaks of Mt Meru. Guests can unwind in one of the lodge s prized plantation suites, which each boast a romantic four-poster bed draped in Egyptian cotton linen, a split-level sitting area, ensuite bathroom, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, an open fireplace, personal bar and private veranda, which overlook rows and rows of berry-laden coffee bushes. &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp Inspired by Tanzania s annual Great Migration, &Beyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp is situated near one of the most famous fording points used by the wildebeest as they cross the Grumeti River. When the Migration is not the area, guests can enjoy an exclusive, uncrowded experience of some of the Serengeti s most exceptional resident wildlife. Rustic yet sophisticated, the intimate camp is among the most luxurious in this part of the reserve, with tents that combine hues of natural grey and accents of natural stone and bone. The calls of the hippo resident in front of the camp provide a nightly serenade. *Guests will have the option of either overnighting at Arusha Coffee Lodge on their day of arrival or on their day of departure, depending on International flight times in and out of Arusha.
