By Vehicle Travel by road to Arusha Coffe Lodge
1 night Arusha Coffe Lodge, Arusha

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.

Location
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.

By Plane Flight to Lamai Serengeti
3 nights Lamai Serengeti, Northern Serengeti

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.

Location
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.

By Plane Flight to Chada Katavi
4 nights Chada Katavi, Katavi National Park

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.

Location
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).

By Plane Flight to Greystoke Mahale
3 nights Greystoke Mahale, Mahale National Park

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.

Location
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.
