Roving Bushtops

Situated in the north of Zanzibar at Kendwa with direct access to a private beach, Zuri Zanzibar is a brand new luxurious seaside property. One of the things setting it apart from other resorts is the fact that its pristine beach isn’t tidal, so guests can swim all day in the stunning azure sea. There are 55 stand-alone bungalows, suites and villas designed to blend seamlessly with the spectacularly landscaped spice gardens, offering plenty of private areas to fully relax and soak in the peaceful atmosphere. Zuri, on the whole, focuses on sustainability, individuality and authenticity. Three restaurants and four bars mean dining and socialising is varied. You can even spice things up with a beach barbecue, or opt for a more intimate dinner on the shore. And if you’re inspired by the delicious food served at Zuri, there are cooking classes available so you can recreate the experience once you get home. Guests can also make use of the wellness area, gym and yoga centre, or pamper themselves with relaxing treatments at the spa. Zuri is perfectly placed for exploring Kendwa and Nungwi, and there are a variety of other restaurants within walking distance along the beach.

Absolute luxury. Absolutely sublime service. An absolutely unforgettable experience.

It is perfectly placed for you to simply sit back and relax as the migrations come to you and during the months that the wildebeest and zebra have moved on, you will still have a rich variety of game on your doorstep to marvel at. There are 8 pristine and divinely luxurious suites, a Villa Suite that can accommodate two couples travelling together and a dedicated family suite or four. Each of these stunning rooms have their own reading area, picturesque window wall with lovely views and to increase the quality of the game you see, a Swarovki Telescope. The main dining area is unbelievably gorgeous and a great space to share your game experiences. All the modern facilities are available such as a gym and spa, as well a sweet shop stocked full with some perfect souvenirs to take back home. Unusual activities including archery, mountain biking and stargazing are also possible from this unbelievably beautiful lodge.

Set among the unique landscape of the private Mwiba Wildlife Reserve (just outside the Serengeti’s southern borders) which is home to over thirty freshwater springs, Legendary Mwiba Lodge provides traditional yet luxury accommodation along with wildlife rich activities. All of the rooms are tastefully designed, combining rustic safari style and modern furnishings of flush toilets, showers and hot and cold running water. The comfortable and spacious accommodation also boasts private verandas where guests can relax and take in the wonderfully scenic views. Experience all that Mwiba has to offer as you swim in the numerous springs, visit the local village, dine in the bush and even spend a night on a tree platform or fly camping. This exclusive lodge offers safari walks plus daily and nightly game drives during which you can witness amazing elephants, giraffes and leopards. After a day of animal sightings and spring swimming, unwind at the lodge’s swimming pool and enjoy a hearty meal. What’s more, the staff here at Legendary Mwiba Lodge provide complete personal attention.

Perched up high on the edge of this remarkable natural wonder, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge holds a prime position. With views spanning the spectacular caldera, you can enjoy a relaxing visit to this otherwise bustling attraction and dip into a world that’s the permanent home to roughly 25,000 animals. The huge amounts of game that find sanctuary here roam over 20 kilometres on the crater floor and this allows for some excellent game viewing opportunities. Prides of bachelor lions are sometimes seen spanning the landscape, on the hunt for their own families and, dotted among the plains game, you might be lucky enough to spot a rhino in the distance. Morning and afternoon game drives are taken by highly experienced guides with visits to the nearby Olduvai Gorge available when vehicle occupancy allows. The crater itself can get quite busy but there’s a peaceful quiet that flows through the rooms, social areas and outside spaces of the lodge. North and South Camp both have twelve beautiful suites and the Tree Camp, slightly set apart from the others, has just six. Raised up on stilts, these rooms are all tastefully decorated with Tanzanian hardwoods and silk curtains which make the rooms cosy and warm; the ridge can get quite nippy, after all. The dining areas have viewing decks and comfortable indoor lounges which are ideal for catching up on some midday afternoon reading, or ticking off the birds that you might have seen so far. You could also decide to have a relaxing massage in your room, and completely pamper yourself.
