Both dinner and breakfast can be taken in your Plantation Suite or enjoyed in the Plantation Lodge House in either the Plantation Restaurant, the Coffee Lodge Garden, or the Bar. Day 2: The Safari takes to the Air After enjoying a delicious breakfast, all our SkySafari guests are invited, should they so wish, to take a fascinating Bean-to-Cup Walking Tour around the coffee estate to learn how the humble coffee bean is grown, harvested, processed and eventually ends up in your morning cup of coffee. Following this optional tour you will once again return to enjoy a light lunch at the Lodge, after which our SkySafari guests will be chauffeured the short one-mile journey to the Arusha airstrip where the Executive SkySafari Cessna Grand Caravan awaits. Arusha to Tarangire The Safari Takes to the Air Fast-tracked into the airport, you will be greeted by your SkySafari Pilot who will invite you aboard our Executive SkySafari Cessna Grand Caravan and take you on a short but enjoyable 20-minute flight to the Tarangire National Park.

Tarangire The Ancient Land of the Elephant On landing at Tarangire airstrip, our SkySafari Guests are met by the Tarangire Treetops Guide and a special SkySafari welcome in the form of a finger buffet, soft drinks and chilled sparkling wine is provided to all. The transfer to Tarangire Treetops includes a fascinating game-drive through the famed Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania. Tarangire is a dramatically beautiful and diverse eco system, boasting one of the largest concentrations of elephant in East Africa. These mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry. The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world.

SkySafari Package by Elewana Collection A Traditional Maasai Boma Dinner Dinner on the first evening is taken within a traditional Maasai boma. This evening will introduce our guests not only to traditional African fare prepared by the Executive Chef and his team, but also to the sights and sounds of the Maasai who visit the Boma to entertain all the guests with songs and dances that have been passed down from generation to generation. Day 3: The Land, Elephants and Masai Walking Safari For the more adventurous of our SkySafari guests, The walking safari is most of the time offered in the afternoon, sometimes in the morning (depending on weather). After breakfast enjoy a visit to a traditional Masai Manyatta etc. Lunch will be enjoyed at the lodge. The afternoon is spent on a game drive, a walking safari, sundowners and an exciting night game drive on the way back to Treetops. For others the desire to laze in bed whilst looking out across the treetops of Tarangire is also too difficult to give up. However after a relaxing and hearty breakfast, all our SkySafari guests are invited to enjoy a game drive in Tarangire followed by a Bush Luncheon at a pecially selected site. Dining in the Bush The site for this Bush Luncheon is carefully located to optimize the experience of visiting this beautiful and stunning landscape. It is here where the Tarangire Executive Chef once again demonstrates the hospitality for which the Elewana Collection is renowned. During the day it is also possible to visit the Maasai Village and sample the genuine warmth of the local indigenous people. With some members of the village working within the Treetops Lodge, any visit from our SkySafari guests is indeed a heartwarming and welcoming experience. Spectacular Sunset Cocktails in The Bush On arrival back to the Tarangire Treetops Lodge and after a short rest, our SkySafari guests are invited to sample the true drama and beauty of an African sunset. After a short 25-minute drive, our vehicles climb the few hundred feet up a hilly outcrop of granite, quartz and mica, known as Sunset Hill. Here our SkySafari guests will enjoy a Sundowner Cocktail whilst the sunsets over the distant but shimmering Lake Manyara. And as the dying sun creates a rich palette of reds and oranges, thousands of stars begin their nightly efforts to illuminate the darkening landscape. The Sights and Sounds of a Night Game Drive As night draws in, our SkySafari guests then begin a Night Game Drive as part of their journey back to the distant glowing lights of Tarangire Treetops. On the return to Treetops and as preparations are made for dinner, some of the resident animals are also arriving from the bush to sip their evening beverage from the ever present Treetops waterhole that lies less than 50 metres from the main lodge. Day 4: From Tarangire to Ngorongoro Departure to Ngorongoro Across The Great Rift Valley After yet another filling breakfast, our SkySafari guests are taken on one more morning game-drive through the Tarangire National Park.

SkySafari Package by Elewana Collection And for those who wish to explore, the swimming pool, spa, games room and stables await discovery. Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater Full Day in The Crater After an early but delicious breakfast, our SkySafari guests will be invited to travel to what undoubtedly is one of the Natural Wonders of the World The Ngorongoro Crater. Filmed and documented by naturalists from the four corners of the earth, The Ngorongoro Crater, the largest dry caldera of its kind, is home to almost all the animals that you would wish to see in East Africa. Large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dewladen grass in the morning mist. Just outside the crater s ridge, tall Maasai tribesmen herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centuries. A Luncheon to Remember Luncheon is served in the Crater under an awning of one of our SkySafari vehicles in a campaign-style luncheon. This spectacular setting at times belies belief. Whilst the resident hippos enjoy their daily bathe, and herds of zebra and wildebeest keep a wary eye out for any number of predators, our Skysafari guests can sit and watch this live show whilst enjoying the very best picnic luncheon that The Manor can offer. Your Choice of Manor Dining Following this exciting full day in the Ngorongoro Crater, our SkySafari guests are then transferred back to The Manor where preparations will already be underway for the evening meal. Private dining options are available at The Manor on request. These include dining under the stars, room service or a private dining room ideal for couples and honeymooners. Day 6: From Ngorongoro to the Serengeti Morning at The Manor - A Haven of Tranquility On the morning of day six our SkySafari guests are given the option of either visiting Lake Manyara National Park, located at the steppe of the Rift Valley, or to stay at The Manor to explore the estate and choose from a host of activities. These activities include horse riding, mountain biking, massage treatments, or simply walking around the beautiful and sensuous gardens whilst contemplating the journey to come. After luncheon at The Manor, our SkySafari guests will be driven to the Manyara airstrip to meet up with the SkySafari Cessna Caravan once more for the onward 45-minute flight to the worldrenowned National Park of the Serengeti. From Ngorongoro to The Serengeti - Flying Over The Vast Plains Following this 45-minute scenic flight, a Serengeti Migration Camp Guide will meet and greet all our SkySafari guests in the now customary fashion. Once again a special welcome, including finger buffet, soft drinks and sparkling wine will be offered, after which a transfer to Serengeti Migration Camp will begin, arriving in time for Sundowners on an elevated wooden terrace overlooking the distant Ndasiata Hills, all by the warming glow of an open fire. Spending two nights at Serengeti Migration Camp, our SkySafari guests will not only enjoy the luxuriant tented accommodation but also the drama and beauty of the Serengeti s abundant wildlife and for most of the year the amazing sight of the annual migration. The Serengeti - Magnificence Beyond Belief A million wildebeest... each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.

SkySafari Package by Elewana Collection Day 7: The Serengeti Breakfast is served at the Main Camp Tent on one of the three terrace balconies over looking the Grumeti and the hills beyond. Mingling with the Migration Post breakfast game drives are then the order of the day and these are either full-day game drives with picnic lunches provided, or half-day game drives with lunch provided back at the Serengeti Migration Camp. The length of the drive depends on the season and the proximity to the Camp of the annual migratory animals. However the beauty of Serengeti Migration Camp often draws SkySafari guests to spend at least one afternoon within the Camp, either relaxing on their 360 degree verandah that embraces each private tent, or simply sitting atop one of the three terraces watching the wildlife walk past and often through the Camp During this 50-minute flight, you will be able to see, from the air, the ever-changing landscape of the bush and the mountainous topography that reminds all who see it of Tanzania s violent geological past. On arrival at Arusha airstrip, our SkySafari guests will be transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge and will either be offered a day room to relax and freshen up before leaving for their onward flight or to be checked into a Plantation Suite for one final night of relaxation before flying out from Kilimanjaro the next day. Departure An additional night at Arusha Coffee Lodge is not included in the SkySafari package and will be charged as extra. Dining Under Canvas or Under The Stars Dining at Serengeti Migration Camp can either be in the Main Camp Restaurant or our SkySafari guests can choose to dine in more private and intimate surroundings under the stars or under canvas back in the privacy of their own tent. Each meal is prepared by the Executive Head Chef and to our guests taste. As the night sets in and the nocturnal animals begin their nightly activities, the Camp yet again becomes alive with sounds if not the sights of Serengeti. Day 8: Serengeti to Arusha Visiting the Hippos on the Grumeti Following a hearty and healthy breakfast, our SkySafari guests are enticed by the opportunity to venture out on a walking safari along the banks of the Grumeti River with one of the highly knowledgeable guides. Serengeti to Arusha After a leisurely lunch, our SkySafari guests once again take to the road for a game drive enroute to the Lobo airstrip for the onward flight to Arusha.

Owner managed, and with a reputation of culinary excellence, Onsea House provides the perfect start or finish to any safari experience. Overnight Onsea House Day 2: After breakfast, depart with your Asilia driver through Arusha town and to Arusha Airport. Connect with your Air Excel flight to Kuro Airstrip in Tarangire National Park. On arrival at Kuro, you will be met by a guide from Oliver s Camp.

A short game drive takes you into Oliver s Camp.

10 Days Best of Asilia Package Oliver s Camp is located in what is no doubt the most spectacular location in the park close to the animal dense Silale Swamps. Overlooking a flood plain of the Minyonyo Pools, part of the Tarangire River, the camp has a spectacular view and easy access to a dense concentration of wildlife. Consisting of only ten beautifully appointed, spacious tents, intimacy is ensured. A world-class team of staff completes an experience that guests consistently rank amongst their best, and most inspiring of all time. After lunch, there will be a chance to relax and settle in to your new surroundings, before heading into the bush for an afternoon game drive. As sunset approaches, the game drive slows to a halt in the perfect location to enjoy a cold drink as the day draws to a close. As darkness descends, head back out for a night game drive. A spotter with a powerful night-light sweeps the ground and the trees looking for the telltale reflective glow of eyes in the darkness. Overnight Oliver s Camp Day 3: Strike out into the bush on foot this morning. A walking safari offers you the opportunity to focus on the smaller details and ecosystems of the bush while at the same time achieving the thrill of stalking larger game on foot. After lunch in camp, there is a chance to relax before an afternoon game drive takes you towards the swamps and in search of some big game. Overnight Oliver s Camp Day 4: After breakfast, pack your bags and transfer to Kuro Airstrip for your Air Excel flight to Manyara. On arrival at Lake Manyara Airstrip you will be met by an Asilia driver guide and transferred to Lake Manyara National Park. One of the smaller parks in Tanzania, Lake Manyara offers a microcosm of the safari experience to be found in Tanzania. The diverse landscape includes lush ground water forest hosting baboons, monkeys and canopy dwelling birdlife. Grassy floodplains play home to larger mammals like buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and giraffe. Inland one might find the famous tree climbing lions and herds of elephant. In addition to the wildlife, over 400 species of birds have been recorded within the park. In the afternoon, make your way up the steep Rift Valley escarpment, into the small town of Karatu and up to Plantation Lodge. After checking in, enjoy a refreshing swim or relax under the trees in the beautiful garden. Plantation Lodge is located on a 45-acre working coffee plantation, just outside the town of Karatu. The rooms are in small white cottages dotted around the well-kept gardens, where there is also a peaceful pool area with great views over the Ngorongoro Highlands. Each of the rooms is individually decorated in a traditional safari feel with a contemporary twist and features a sitting room with fireplace, private veranda and en suite facilities. The food and service is very good and most of the produce used to create the meals is from the extensive farm gardens. For those wanting to visit the Crater during the day, but to get away from the crowds at night, the lodge offers very good value in a beautiful setting. Overnight Plantation Lodge Day 5: An early start to the day is best in order to avoid the later influx of tourists into the Ngorongoro Crater. The park gate opens at 0600, so it is best to be there as close to this time as possible. The Ngorongoro Crater is a large, unbroken, un-flooded caldera, formed when a giant

10 Days Best of Asilia Package volcano erupted and collapsed some three million years ago. Had it not become a caldera, it is possible that the volcanic mountain would be about the same height as Kilimanjaro. Down on the crater floor there is an abundance of wildlife including black rhino, wildebeest, zebra and eland. There are a number of lion, which are typically larger in size than an average lion due the large amount of game in the area. The crater floor tends to get very busy, with there often being numerous vehicles at any wildlife sighting. Enjoy a packed lunch under the trees on the crater floor, but keep an eye out for the monkeys, which are always keen to take advantage of an opportunistic moment. In the afternoon, drive up and out of the crater, and back down the road towards Karatu. Spend the afternoon in the pool, schedule a massage, or catch up on some reading under the trees.

After lunch, there is time to unwind and relax before heading out for a late afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle. The afternoon culminates with the sunset sliding into the Serengeti plains whilst you enjoy your drink of choice.
