Overview
The same three famous parks as our classic 4-day safari, but every night is in a luxury lodge or tented camp, the first of them inside Tarangire.
Luxury on safari is less about marble and more about place: camps in the best spots, large tents with real beds and good food, and quiet when you come back from a drive. We choose the camps for your dates and name them when we confirm.
On your full Serengeti day you can start with a sunrise balloon flight, booked at extra cost.
