Evenings belong to secluded sundowners, open-air bush dinners under the stars, and a private campfire reserved just for the two of you — with a hot air balloon safari and a champagne crater-floor lunch along the way.

Your Itinerary

Day 1

Karatu Highlands Private Suite

Karatu, Tanzania

Landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), your private driver-guide greets you with chilled sparkling water and fresh towels. Transfer by executive 4x4 through the coffee plantations to the lush Karatu highlands and your private suite.

Spend the afternoon in your villa or by the rim-flow pool, then close the evening with a candlelit welcome dinner of locally sourced cuisine and fine wine.

1 night · Private Suite
Day 2

Tarangire Private Game Tracking

Tarangire National Park

An exclusive full-day game drive in Tarangire, tracking elephant herds and tree-climbing lions from your private 4x4 with open pop-up roof, stopping whenever you like for photos or quiet wildlife-watching.

A gourmet picnic overlooking the Tarangire River is followed by a sunset cocktail back at the lodge, over the Great Rift Valley escarpment.

1 night · Private Suite
Day 3

Central Serengeti Tented Suite

Central Serengeti

Drive up through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area onto the Serengeti plains, spotting giraffe, zebra and impala along the way to your luxury tented suite.

In the late afternoon, your guide sets up a private sundowner on a scenic hilltop — champagne as the sun drops, followed by a private three-course dinner under the stars.

1 night · Private Suite
Day 4

Sunrise Balloon Safari & Big Cat Tracking

Serengeti

Rise before dawn for a hot air balloon safari — drifting silently over the plains as the sun comes up on lion prides and wildebeest herds below, then a hot bush breakfast with champagne on landing.

The afternoon is a private game drive tracking leopard along the Seronera River valley, followed by a couples' massage or veranda tea back at camp.

1 night · Private Suite
Day 5

Migration Tracking & Stargazing

Serengeti

A full day tracking the Great Migration herds or resident predator prides, paced entirely to your preference with a hot lunch packed for the bush.

In the evening, a private campfire outside your tent, complete with personalised stargazing storytelling from a resident guide.

Day 6

Ngorongoro Crater Rim Suite

Ngorongoro Crater

Drive to the crater rim and descend 600 metres into the caldera, tracking black rhino, hippo and flamingo in complete privacy.

A multi-course hot lunch with sparkling wine is served near a quiet lakeside spot on the crater floor, away from the main tourist routes, before you climb back up to your rim lodge.

1 night · Private Suite
Day 7

Scenic Bush Flight & Departure

Ngorongoro to Arusha

A leisurely breakfast in your suite, then a transfer to the airstrip for a scenic light-aircraft flight back to Arusha over the Rift Valley.
