Is This Trip for Me?

Your Great Migration journey begins at the gateway to the best of what Tanzania has to offer; the bustling town of Arusha. Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, Arusha is a popular stop over for travellers either before or after their safari. With easy access to Mount Kilimanjaro, Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks, as well as the temperate Arusha National Park, this compact safari package brings you into the centre of an unforgettable African safari.

You’ll enjoy two luxury accomodations on this trip. Elewana Collection’s Arusha Coffee Lodge is a contemporary take on an old-world location. Situated on a coffee plantation, Arusha Coffee Lodge is all about the senses; the smell of freshly brewed coffee, the feel of crisp bedding in one of their wooden plantation rooms, and the greenery of the surrounding gardens. With curio shops selling local arts and crafts, seasonal fine dining fare available at an array of superb eateries and the option of getting a relaxing spa treatment done before your safari, there is no want of activities at this elevated establishment.

Once in the Serengeti National Park, your adventure takes a wild turn with front row seats to the Wildebeest Migration, no matter what time of year. Moving freely between the north and south Serengeti, this luxury mobile camp is designed to follow the migration herds as they cross the challenging Mara river in winter, or give birth to over half a million babies during the summer season.

FAQs about Short & Sweet Serengeti Safari

What is the accommodation like on safari?

Safari lodges have guest rooms similar to a hotel with en-suite bathrooms. They are comfortably furnished with facilities normally associated with a hotel rooms, except your rooms are normally set in beautiful wilderness settings, with nature and wildlife around.
Tented lodges have rooms which are tents on a platform and with a roof and also have en-suite facilities with showers, flush toilets and hot water. Basically all the amenities of a hotel room, except canvas walls and roof.
The boutique lodges and camps can be very stylish and smart in terms of design and decor, often with very spacious rooms and even going so far in some cases as having plunge pools for each room.
Eco-camps and smaller tented camps have insect-proof tents with en-suite facilities including a safari shower and flush toilet. They give a more authentic safari experience but the tents are comfortably furnished with proper beds and you don’t need to bring your own sleeping bag! The emphasis is usually on having excellent guides and great wildlife viewing away from the crowds. Guests often eat together and people travelling alone usually say that they found the atmosphere friendly and enjoyed meeting other like-minded travellers around the campfire in the evening or at dinner.
The Adventure Camps are a budget option with guests bringing their own sleeping bags and towels. Accommodation is in small dome tented with a mattress on the floor. Each tent has its own nearby cubicle with a flush toilet, safari shower, and wash basin. The Adventure Camps are suitable only for those who don’t mind “real camping” and can put with some degree of “roughing it”. Apart from the accommodation in simple dome tents, the meals and the guiding are the same standards as the higher quality camps and game drives are in 4x4 safari vehicles. For those on a limited budget, the Adventure Camps are a good alternative to the big tourist lodges and minibus tours for those for whom the safari experience is more important than hotel accommodation.
