This 10-day trip brings guests to some of the most unique parts of Tanzania. Beginning with a flight to Kilimanjaro, upon landing, guests are taken away to a garden chalet in a protected area of Arusha, boasting views of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru. After a day of relaxing, head into Lake Manyara National Park to walk amongst dense woodland and soda lake before enjoying a picnic. This park is known for its unique tree-climbing lion population, as well as some of the largest baboon groups in the country. Guests also might have the chance to spot elephant herds and flamingos.

Stays include Bashay Rift Lodge, Olduvai Camp, Togoro Plains Camp and Grumeti Hills. On the final day of the trip, guests are transferred to a nearby airstrip by Togoro Plains Camp before heading back to Arusha and then Kilimanjaro Airport.
