Accommodation on the tour
Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
The style of this attractive lodge is themed on traditional East African culture, with circular buildings and conical roofs, and colourful Masai style furnishings and decorations. The lodge’s restaurant is built with glass walls from the floor to the ceiling which give guests a panoramic view of the crater, as does the colourful and aptly named Crater View Bar. From the main building you can walk along stone paved paths out past the swimming pool, a rare luxury in these parts, and then out to the rooms which stretch out on both sides from here.

Serengeti Sopa Lodge
The Serengeti Sopa lodge lies on the crest of one of the Nyarboro Hills, giving a view over the south western part of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The lodge is perfectly placed for guests wishing to see the Great Migration of wildebeest, during the part of the season they pass close to here. At the same it is only a short drive from two of the Serengeti’s best safari areas, only 45 mins from the Seronera district and a little less to the More Kopjes. Therefore it can be advantageous to bring along a backed lunch and enjoy longer safari drives. From the lodge itself there is a good chance of seeing animals visiting the property’s waterhole.

Lake Manyara Serena Safari Lodge
The lodge is situated high up on the 900m high Mto wa Mbu escarpment in northern Tanzania’s Arusha region. From here it offers great views over Lake Manyara and the national park of the same name and the Great Rift Valley. Lake Manyara is a 40 km long and 13 km wide, shallow, alkaline lake in a gorge within the Great Rift Valley. The water levels can vary markedly, which helps to explain the rich birdlife found here. Lake Manyara National Park covers an area of 325 square kilometers, of which 1/3 is typically covered by water. The lodge has 67 rooms, including 1 suite, in circular two story chalets with small balconies that are scattered around the property near the edge of the escarpment to give the best views over the clear waters of the lake.

THE BIG FIVE
The Big Five is a historic term that comes from big game hunting. It groups together the five animals that were considered to require the most courage and skill to hunt: Elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. The term has been readily adopted by today’s wildlife safaris, on which rifles have been swapped for a camera and animals are only “shot” through a telephoto lens. It is also widely used in the marketing of reserves, camps and lodges, where the “Big Five” can be found, and visitors have a reasonable chance of encountering them.

Balloon Safari
Go on a spectacular adventure and experience an African safari from up in the air, in a hot air balloon.

The Ngorongoro Crater
The crater is often described as being like some kind of Noahs Ark, even though the animals can freely wander in and out of the area. It is believed to have the highest density of large wild mammals in the world, one of the reasons for which is because fresh water can be found here all year round. The water comes from a number of springs along the edge of the crater, the largest of which has its source in the neighbouring mountain Olmoti´s crater. This constant supply of water feed a couple of large areas of swamp with freshwater, before it flows into lake Magadi, which is actually extremely salty.

The Serengeti National Park
This national park is easily one of the best known in the world –and for good reason. This almost endless ocean of grass which its huge herds of savannah animals is perhaps the image that more than any other, that most people associate with a classical African safari – even though similar type of savannah with its bushes - and trees actually covers a very large proportion of the continent. Lions and spotted hyenas are seen regularly, but cheetah and leopard are also seen on most safaris here. You can also see plenty of other big game animals including elephants, hippopotamus, buffalo, giraffe and numerous antelopes and gazelles.

Lake Manyara
In addition to the lake itself the small Lake Manyara national park mainly consists of a narrow strip of land running between the lake and the Rift Valley escarpment, however it is difficult to imagine a more beautiful and unusual place than here. At the north end of the park you can find dense forest, which in many ways resembles rainforest, however this is a ground water forest as its gets its water from the soil and the springline at the base of the slopes. The forest is home to many apes, and many green macaque, diademed monkey and baboons. Elephants are also regularly seen here, and you can often get very close to them, but you have to have a bit of luck to see the parks lions, which are said to be fond of climbing trees.
