Why This Stay Is Unforgettable

From the Giraffe Centre to the Karen Blixen Museum, and from peaceful forest walks to vibrant local markets, your time in Nairobi will be as varied as it is luxurious. Expect refined dining, thoughtful service and the kind of quiet moments that make travel meaningful.

5 Nights: Exclusive Simba Serengeti Safari — Overview

Price: From £3,199 per person (based on two sharing) Travel period: 1 – 31 May 2026 (call for other travel dates) Book by: 31 January 2026 Quote Reference: 77137 Our Reference: SLT876121

This five-night private safari visits Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. It is designed to deliver concentrated wildlife viewing, iconic landscapes, and the flexibility of a private vehicle and guide.

Itinerary — Day by Day (Experiential Focus)

Day 1 — Arrival and Tarangire Introduction

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famed for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds. After settling into Tarangire Simba Lodge, enjoy a private game drive in the late afternoon when wildlife is active and the light is soft for photography. Dinner at the lodge features locally inspired cuisine and a chance to discuss the next day’s plans with your guide.

Day 2 — Tarangire to Lake Manyara

Early morning game drive in Tarangire to catch sunrise over the baobabs and plains. After breakfast, transfer to Lake Manyara region. Lake Manyara National Park is renowned for its tree-climbing lions and flocks of pink flamingos. Enjoy a guided game drive with opportunities for birdwatching and close-up wildlife encounters. Overnight at Karatu Simba Lodge with full-board service.

Day 3 — Serengeti Arrival and First Serengeti Game Drive

Depart Karatu after breakfast and fly or drive (depending on your preference and logistics) to the Serengeti. On arrival, check into Serengeti Simba Lodge and embark on your first Serengeti game drive. The Serengeti’s vast plains are home to Africa’s Big Cats and, depending on timing, the Great Migration. Your private Somak driver-guide will position you for the best sightings and photographic opportunities.

Day 4 — Full Day Serengeti Exploration

A full day in the Serengeti allows for dawn and dusk drives, picnic lunches in the bush, and the chance to track predators and witness dramatic wildlife interactions. The Serengeti’s scale and biodiversity make every drive unique. Return to Serengeti Simba Lodge for dinner and stargazing.

Day 5 — Ngorongoro Crater Descent

Depart the Serengeti and travel to Karatu for an overnight stay at Karatu Simba Lodge. The highlight is a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater—an immense, 100-square-mile World Heritage site with concentrated game viewing. The crater floor’s grasslands and waterholes attract a dense variety of species, including the elusive black rhino. Enjoy a private game drive and a picnic lunch within the crater before returning to Karatu for your final night.

After breakfast, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your return flights via Doha to Heathrow. Reflect on a transformative safari experience that blends luxury, adventure, and conservation-minded travel.

Rovos Rail

Why experiential travel matters for luxury clients

Experiential travel is the art of designing holidays that are immersive, meaningful and tailored to the traveller’s values. For high‑end clients, luxury is not measured only by the price of a suite or the exclusivity of a transfer; it is measured by the quality of the encounters, the authenticity of the local connections and the depth of the memories created. This itinerary is built around:

Authentic wildlife encounters with expert rangers and trackers who read the land and the animals’ behaviour.
Slow travel moments on Rovos Rail where the journey itself is the destination — time to read, to dine, to watch the landscape change.
Conservation and community engagement that ensures your travel supports local economies and wildlife protection.
Seamless logistics and 24‑hour support so your focus is on the experience, not the details.
Financial protection through ABTA and ATOL so you travel with confidence.

If you value privacy, personalised service and experiences that linger long after you return home, this journey is for you. Call Louise on 01428 856 020 to discuss bespoke options.

Full itinerary — day by day (what to expect, how it feels)

Days 1–3: Sabi Sand Game Reserve — Elephant Plains Game Lodge (3 nights)

Your journey begins with arrival into South Africa and a private transfer to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a private concession bordering Kruger National Park renowned for its density of wildlife and exceptional guiding. Elephant Plains Game Lodge offers intimate rondavel accommodation, warm hospitality and a programme of twice‑daily shared game drives and guided bush walks.

Morning drives are when predators are most active; expect the thrill of tracking lions and leopards, watching elephant herds move with purpose, and seeing buffalo and rhino in their natural habitat. Afternoon drives lead to heart‑stopping sundowners — a chilled glass of wine as the sun melts into the horizon and the bush comes alive with nocturnal sounds. Guides are expert naturalists who interpret animal behaviour and share conservation insights.

Meals are a celebration of local flavours and international finesse: bush breakfasts, al fresco lunches and candlelit dinners under the stars. The lodge’s commitment to conservation and community ensures your stay supports local initiatives.

Included experiences: two shared game drives per day, daily guided bush walks, sundowners, full board accommodation, expert guiding.

Day 4: Pretoria — Ivory Manor Boutique Hotel (1 night)

After your final morning drive and a relaxed transfer to the airport, you fly to Pretoria for an overnight stay at Ivory Manor Boutique Hotel. This chic, intimate hotel offers a restful interlude and a chance to experience South African hospitality in a different register — boutique design, personalised service and a comfortable bed before boarding Rovos Rail.

Days 5–7: Rovos Rail — Pullman Suite (3 nights)

Board the legendary Rovos Rail for a three‑night journey that is as much about the art of travel as it is about the destination. The Pullman Suite is a study in classic elegance: polished wood, crisp linens and attentive service. Onboard, all meals and beverages (including preselected local wines, beers and soft drinks) are included, and the dining experience is refined and convivial.

The train winds through landscapes that shift from highveld escarpments to rolling plains. Off‑train excursions are woven into the schedule: quaint town explorations, scenic viewpoints and a game drive at The Hide in Hwange National Park — a rare opportunity to see Zimbabwe’s elephant populations up close. The train’s pace allows for conversation, reading, photography and the simple pleasure of watching the world pass by.

Included experiences: fully inclusive Pullman Suite, all meals and beverages on board, guided excursions and entrance fees as per itinerary, scenic rail travel through Warmbaths (Bela‑Bela), Nylstroom and across the Limpopo River.

Days 8–9: Victoria Falls — Ilala Lodge (2 nights)

Your rail journey culminates at Victoria Falls, one of the planet’s most dramatic natural spectacles. Stay at Ilala Lodge in a Classic Room on a bed & breakfast basis. Explore the Falls via a rainforest trek that hugs the edge of the gorge, visit iconic viewpoints such as Main Falls and Horseshoe Falls, and experience the thunderous roar and spray that define this place.

A Zambezi River cruise at sunset is a highlight — wildlife sightings, golden light and the slow rhythm of the river. Optional activities include helicopter flights over the Falls, guided rainforest walks, and visits to Livingstone Island for a privileged perspective.

Included experiences: guided tour of the Falls, Zambezi River cruise, bed & breakfast accommodation, regional flights and transfers as specified.

Island indulgence. Mauritius offers a restorative finale: all‑inclusive comfort, varied dining and watersports, plus opportunities for wellness and cultural immersion such as local cooking classes.

Conservation & community. Your trip supports local conservation and community projects through operator donations and partnerships with trusted local organisations.

Personalisation & Upgrades

Every element can be tailored to your preferences. Popular upgrades include:

Private guide and vehicle for exclusive game drives.
Luxury tent or suite upgrades in the Masai Mara.
Private dining experiences and romantic sundowners.
Spa treatments and wellness packages in Mauritius.
Extended stays or additional destinations (e.g., Seychelles, Zanzibar).
