Where you could stay

Tanzania

Legendary Lodge

Each of the six garden cottages has their own private veranda and is beautifully decorated with a nod to a bygone era with the choice of antique furniture. They have large and extremely comfortable beds and a lounge area with a fireplace to take the chill off the cooler African nights. The family cottage has two bedrooms and a private garden which is a superb way to spend some time relaxing in absolute luxury during your stopover before or after your safari. Two cosy en-suite rooms in the Old Farmhouse provide a comfortable retreat from which you can explore the grounds of this genuine coffee farm. After roughly an hour’s drive through Arusha, you will arrive at the farm and have the chance to either relax and spend time in the well kept grounds, or venture into the city to see some of the museums and markets on offer. The service at Legendary Lodge is excellent, without doubt one of the premier hotels in the area.

Days 2–7

Five days on safari in the southern Serengeti

An area of the Serengeti characterised by vast short-grass plains, the southern Serengeti is known for playing host to the Great Migration during the green season (December to May).

We recommend spending two nights at one camp or lodge of your choice before a further three nights at another in a differing area, so you get a comprehensive experience of both the migratory and resident game, plus a wider choice of specialist activities.

These short grasses and flat open plains give you wonderful wildlife viewing, vibrant colours from the flora, and dramatic landscapes and skies to photograph too. Spend your days on daily safari game drives, spotting both plains wildlife and predators in this wild and beautiful expanse.
