Arusha Coffee Lodge is nestled among the endless fields of Tanzania's largest coffee plantation. This exclusive lodge exudes a traditional colonial charm. Each plantation house is lavishly equipped with a four-poster bed, fireplace, lounge and private veranda.

Further facilities at the lodge include a swimming pool, garden terrace, safari bar and small shopping boutique. Enjoy a delectable and sophisticated à la carte dinner around the open fire while absorbing the cosy atmosphere of the Coffee Lodge Lounge.

Most of the international flights arrive very late at Kilimanjaro Airport. Arusha Coffee Lodge is a good choice for an overnight stop if you plan to start your safari the next morning. The road to Ngorongoro and Tarangire passes just outside the lodge and the local airport is close by too.

The founders of Nomad, one of Tanzania's most renowned safari operators, chose this spectacular spot to build this camp because of the unique vantage point offered by the Kogakuria Kopjes - a high rocky outcrop affording supremely beautiful views over the Mara River Valley.

Lamai Serengeti Camp comprises a total of 8 tents of which two tents are family units. Each site has been carefully selected and any rocks, rather than being moved, have been individually integrated into the overall design. The rooms are painted in refreshingly light colours and equipped with wooden floors, comfortable beds, a large bathroom and a beautiful veranda with a view of the plain in front of the camp. In the morning, coffee is brought to your room and a new day begins...

Facilities of the main building include a natural stone pool, a lounge and a bar with comfortable seating area.

An alternative for families and friends is the private Mkombe's House. or Lamai Private Camp which is also offered on private basis only.

Lamai Serengeti sits tucked amongst the rocks of Kogakuria Kopje with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, just a few km from where the wildebeest cross the Mara River in the Northern sector of the Serengeti National Park.

The closest airstrip is Kogatende.

Greystoke Mahale is built in an undeniably magnificent location. The tropical woodlands of Mahale Mountains National Park frame the great expanse of water and Kangwena Beach, both of which are literally on the doorstep. All facing the water, six comfortable straw huts with adjoining bathrooms and a viewing platform on the ‘upper' floor sit nestled on the edge of the surrounding forest.

Meals are served either outdoors on the beach or in the romantic dining tent - or, by way of variety, during a dhow trip on the lake.

Mahale Mountains National Park (1'600 km²) is situated in western Tanzania and stretches along the banks of Lake Tanganyika, the longest lake in the world and the second largest in Africa. The park's few visitors are left in a state of permanent fascination by the remote beauty of the sandy beaches set before the backdrop of tropical woodland-draped slopes and surrounding mountains.

Mahale is the place to observe chimpanzees in their natural environment and offers the unforgettable experience of meeting these captivating creatures so closely related to human. The camp is accessible by light aircraft on Mondays and Thursdays only. The flight from Arusha takes approx. 3.5 hours and is followed by a further 90-minute transfer by boat on the lake.

Chada Katavi is a small camp with just six traditional East African safari tents. All are relatively spacious, romantic and equipped with large windows, which allow the light and African atmosphere to flood in. The bathroom and ‘bucket shower' are located in a smaller, adjoining tent. The main building comprises a lounge, bar, library and a nicely furnished tent where meals are served.

The warm and inviting blazing campfire casts its dancing shadows into the eternal darkness of night as tales of Africa are told.

Remotely situated in western Tanzania, Katavi National Park (4'500 km²) is rarely visited by guests. Wild and expansive, the park offers an authentic African safari experience amid spectacularly isolated wilderness. Tucked under shade-giving acacia and tamarind trees, Chada Katavi sits on the edge of the Chada Plain. The camp can only be accessed by air on Mondays and Thursdays (Ikuu Airstrip, approx. 4 hrs + a 20-minute vehicle transfer).

Set high on a rocky kopje overlooking a landscape dotted with spiky palms and bulbous baobabs, Jabali Ridge is a sophisticated base from which to explore Ruaha National Park. Jabali Ridge’s 8 suites are hidden amongst the rocky boulders that cocoon the property. With views over Ruaha from every corner of the room, the guest suites are designed to maximise the stunning landscape beyond. Be it from the bed, the desk or the bathroom, every space is a viewpoint and open to nature. An infinity pool, spa and plenty of places to laze ensure that time off is as memorable as time out in the bush.

About 200 metres from the main camp sits the private Jabali House. It is booked for families or a group of friends and comes with its own service team and private guide/vehicle.

At 20'220 km², Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest national park and still relatively rarely visited by tourists. The park was expanded to include the Usanga Wetlands in 2008 and comprises 40% miombo woodland with open savannahs, spectacular baobab, acacia and palm forests as well as several springs, swamps and seasonal floodplains making up the rest. The park is bordered in the north by the Mzombe River and in the south by the Great Ruaha River. The Usunga Game Reserve and three further game reserves surround the park almost entirely. Most camps are located at a height of approximately 800 to 1000 m above sea level; the park's highest plateau, however, sits at an impressive 1868 m above sea level. A 50 to 100 m high escarpment is testament to the fact that the Ruaha National Park is also part of the Great Rift Valley.

The park is accessed via air from Arusha or Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a visit to Nyerere National Park. The flight to Nyerere National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 mins; the flight to Dar Es Salaam or Arusha, including all stops en-route, takes approx. 2.5 hrs.

The drive from Msembe Airstrip to camp takes approximately 50 minutes. Jabali Ridge is situated close to Mwagusi River in the eastern part of Ruaha National Park.

Offering spectacular views across the plains to the front of the camp, Beho Beho is built on the gentle slope of a hill. Its eight spacious and individual stonewalled, thatched bandas are each equipped with a lounge, large bed, en-suite bathroom, dressing room and large shower. The open fronts and elevated position of the bandas means the rooms are nicely ventilated. A Zanzibar daybed is available for families and children who wish to sleep in the same room.

The service at Beho Beho is personal and homely. The minimum stay here is three nights as too much change is not particularly desirable. The main house is large and airy with a snooker table to the rear and further comprises a bar, lounge and various tables. Meals are usually served outdoors at the front of the camp or just around the corner in a separate, two-storey banda with views over the waterhole. The lower floor houses a library with Internet access - WIFI access is available in all rooms.

A beautiful swimming pool is located some 80 m from the main building. The pool area is equipped with comfortable loungers for guests to simply lay back and relax in.

With its own chef, staff and private guide, the luxury two-storey Bailey’s Banda is available for families that seek a private experience.

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as northern part of the Selous Game Reserve, covers 30'893 km2 of wilderness and is twice as large as the Serengeti. The area was declared a National Park in 2019 and is since the largest National Park in Tanzania. At 600 km long, the Rufiji River is the longest river in East Africa and the park's life-giving vein. This ramified river system includes five large lakes (from east to west): Lake Tagalala, Lake Manze, Lake Nzerakera, Lake Siwandu and Lake Mzizimia.

The park comprises 75% miombo woodland, but most noticeable are the many wonderful palms, particularly the borassus and doum palms, as well as the many candelabra trees (euphorbia candelabrum).

Nyerere National Park is accessed by light aircraft from Dar Es Salaam and can be seamlessly combined with a trip to Ruaha National Park. The flight to Ruaha National Park takes approx. 1 hr 30 minutes; the flight to Dar Es Salaam takes approx. 35 minutes.

Beho Beho has its own Airstrip. The drive from the airstrip to camp takes just several minutes. The camp is situated north of Lake Tagalala on the slope of Kipalala Hill.
