On arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, you’ll be greeted by a Vencha representative and transported to Arusha where you’ll spend your first night at the Arusha Legendary Lodge. Take time to settle in and overcome any jet lag or enjoy a short stroll around the city to get your first taste of East Africa.

Begin the day with a leisurely breakfast at the Arusha Legendary Lodge and time to explore its picturesque grounds. Then drive to the Kimemo Coffee Plantation where you’ll be treated to a behind-the-scenes tour to learn about the coffee production process from start to finish.    

Return to the Arusha Legendary Lodge in time for lunch, then embark on a tour of Arusha town to explore some of its most interesting attractions. Visit the Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre and Shanga Shanga, a local handicraft workshop and store where you can purchase authentic souvenirs. You’ll return to the lodge with time to freshen up before dinner. 

It’s time to say goodbye to the Arusha Legendary Lodge as you make your way to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into this UNESCO World Heritage-listed landscape to spot herds of zebra, wallowing hippos, lions and giraffes, with a picnic lunch served in the heart of the crater.    

After experiencing the incredible natural beauty of the wildlife-filled crater, you’ll head to Gibbs Farm Lodge where you’ll spend the night. This charming country house and farm is located near the town of Karatu and boasts stunning sunsets across the surrounding plains. 

After a delicious breakfast at Gibbs Farm Lodge, you’ll be transferred by road to the Lake Manyara Airstrip for a scenic flight to the Grumeti Reserve where you’ll be staying at the luxurious Singita Sasakwa Lodge. After a delicious lunch, embark on your first private game drive through this wildlife-filled landscape for your very own “Out of Africa” experience. Return to the lodge for a romantic dinner beneath the stars. 

Wake early for a full-day game drive to witness the wildlife at their most active. Grab a freshly made coffee and breakfast box on your way out the door, then immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Serengeti ecosystem. A picnic lunch will be served in the bush so you can take advantage of your time out in the wilds before returning to the Singita Sasakwa Lodge in the late afternoon.    

In the evening, you’ll be treated to a torch-lit barbecue dinner while being guarded by Maasai warriors. After feasting on dishes prepared by your private chef, gather around the bonfire for a spot of stargazing in this magical safari setting. 

Following a delicious breakfast, embark on a half-day game drive in pursuit of the Serengeti’s legendary cats. Aside from lions, leopards and cheetahs, you may also be lucky enough to spot giraffes, elephants and buffalos amidst the spectacular landscapes.  

 Return to the lodge in time for lunch and an afternoon at your leisure, with the option to indulge in a Singita Signature Njozi za Africa massage. After a full-body exfoliation and body wrap, this pampering treatment finishes with a unique Uhai balancing full-body massage. End the day with a romantic dinner with your loved one under the Africa stars.
