Situated in the stunning Ngorongoro Highlands, Gibb’s Farm captures the essence of a 1920s coffee farm, now transformed into a luxury country inn. Each cottage offers breathtaking views over well-tended gardens and into the valley below, while the interiors feature rich eucalyptus flooring and beams derived from the original farmhouse. The decor is complemented by hand-carved furniture, offering guests an authentic and serene retreat. The Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s iconic natural wonders, is celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and abundant wildlife. The crater is home to resident zebra, buffalo, and various herbivores, which form the prey base for the region’s apex predators, including lions and hyenas. During your full day in this majestic setting, embark on a morning game drive to explore the crater floor extensively, followed by a return to the lodge for an indulgent dinner.

The journey continues at Serengeti Safari Camp, an iconic mobile camp known for tracking the migration. The camp offers a blend of effortless comfort and adventure; its walk-in tents are generously sized, equipped with full-sized beds, a dressing area, eco-friendly flush toilets, and safari bucket showers. For communal gatherings, the camp features a shaded dining tent, complete with comfortable couches, an extensive bar, a library, and a cozy fire for the cooler evenings.

During game drives, guests can explore the Serengeti’s expansive plains, encountering lions, cheetahs, and other predators amidst the wildebeest migration. The drives offer up-close experiences with zebra and gazelle herds and, depending on the season, the chance to witness mass birthing events or the dramatic river crossings at the Mara.

Nestled among the Kogakurla kopjes in the northwest of the Serengeti, Nomad Lamai lies a mere stone’s throw from the Mara River, positioning it as an ideal spot for observing the dramatic river crossings. Often overlooked once the migration has passed, the area remains a hotspot for extraordinary wildlife throughout the year. This includes prides of lions, buffalo herds, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, and an impressive array of over 300 bird species.

The camp itself is masterfully designed to blend into the rocky landscape, creating a seamless integration with nature through a combination of light canvas and plaster. Each of the beautifully designed open-fronted tented rooms offers expansive views of the Serengeti wilderness, enhancing the immersive safari experience.

Consult with our specialists and embark on a journey to Rwanda, known as the “Land of a Thousand Hills”. Discover the scenic Virunga Mountains, a sanctuary for the endangered mountain gorillas, the largest of the great apes. Schedule two treks to closely observe the gorillas, under the guidance of knowledgeable guides who will share insights into the lives of these vegetarian, gentle behemoths.

In Uganda, witness both chimpanzees and gorillas in their natural habitat, and make a visit to Murchison Falls along the White Nile River. As Winston Churchill famously remarked, “For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life – plant, bird, insect, reptile, beast – Uganda surpasses all my previous experiences and memories.”
