Over the course of seven days, you will experience the stunning landscapes and rich wildlife of these iconic parks, all while enjoying the comforts of mid-range accommodations.
Your adventure begins at Heart and Soul Lodge in Karatu, a mid-range eco-styled property that emphasizes sustainability and personal service.

The Meru-style tents provide essential comfort with en-suite bathrooms, ensuring you have a restful stay amidst the wilderness.

This seasonal camp is strategically located near Kogatende, offering excellent access to river crossings during the migration season. Meals include picnic breakfasts and communal dinners, designed to fuel your long days of wildlife watching. The Meru-style tents are simple yet comfortable, providing a practical base for your adventures.
Finally, you will conclude your safari with a flight to the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar, where you can unwind after your exhilarating wildlife encounters.
