Day 2 Arusha-Tarangire | Meals: BD
Following breakfast and your safari briefing, you depart by private 4x4 safari vehicle to Tarangire
National Park. Once you pass the park gate, you game view en route to the lodge arriving for lunch. Following lunch and a chance to enjoy the lodge's facilities, you have an afternoon game drive.
Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge is located in the heart of Tarangire, Tanzania's wild land and landscapes. Tarangire is famed for its massive elephant herds, true sense of wilderness and a gentle backdrop of baobabs. It is the lesser visited but more intriguing park on the northern circuit. At Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge, we have 12 permanent tents made up of ten standard suites, and 2 x two bed room inter-connected family suites.
The camp is open all year around and especially during the dry months, the massive elephant herds travel through the corridor between Manyara and Tarangire and spend their time in and around the park. This is because of their ability to uncover permanent sources of fresh water. We endeavour to retain the uniqueness and intimacy of the camp, while being directed by the location, wildlife and other factors of responsible tourism.
Each tent is 20m long by 8m wide and framed with wooden logs, metal piping and then wrapped in heavy duty safari rip-stop canvas made locally at Morogoro, southern Tanzania, plus the additional cooling feature of shade-clothing over the entire tent. You are met at the entrance by climbing specially crafted stairs and onto a balcony with love seat and side table for relaxing when you have a moment. The front of the tents has double sliding doors, including a layer of mosquito netting for your comfort. Once you step into the tent into the bedroom area, you will see an arrangement of unique furniture like a desk and chair, bench seat, side tables, matting and incredible local imagery. Once you walk through the bedroom and into the ensuite, the polished concrete floors with wardrobe, robes, separate shower and toilet cubicles and handcrafted wash stand with carefully created terracotta basins. All the fittings depict colours in natural tones to adhere to the intrinsic area we are located. We offer double, twin, single, triple and family tents. The beds are fitted with imported cotton sheets, double pillows, duvets and bed runners for your comfort.
The tents have netted windows down each side of the tent, roll up the canvas and let the breeze flow through while still creating a romantic private feel with light weight curtains to dance on the draft. From the entrance of the bedroom and onto the bathroom, each tent is fitted with an extensive solar lighting system for your convenience. Please consider careful and responsible use of water and lighting when at the camp, to extend accessibility for all.
There is a magical path of lanterns between the tents and also to our main common area � but please DO NOT walk alone, use your radio call to request an escort at all times of the day. While we use these kerosene lanterns, you will also observe a mix of solar guide lights and scented beeswax candles to create an enchanting setting to unwind after the day's adventures. Enjoy your meals in the thatched main area, on the porches or beside the swimming pool. Why not enjoy a sundowner while sitting around the camp fire until infinite African skies. For charging electrical equipment, we run solar power 24hrs a day, charge in your room or in the main area.

Day 3 Tarangire | Meals: BLD
Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives in the park.
Thanks to the Tarangire River (which runs through the park), Tarangire is a haven for wildlife and you might find high concentrations of plains game like Thomson's gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest, impala, waterbuck and much more. With the large number of plains game, predators like lion, leopard and cheetah are well represented in Tarangire. More than 300 species of birds have been recorded in Tarangire, so keep your eyes peeled for the bateleur eagle, ground hornbill and abundant species of bee-eaters and rollers.

Klein's Camp comprises a main lodge and ten luxury cottages, set on the edge of the Kuka Hills, commanding sweeping views of the valley below.
The camp contains just ten intimate, turn-of-the-century style cottages of local rock and thatch. The rich wooden floors and serene, classic interiors are reminiscent of the heydays of rugged safaris. Each spacious cottage has an en suite bathroom. With showerheads the size of a dinner platter, our spacious enclosed showers offer you the sensory equivalent of an indoor cloud-burst. From each private terrace, a diversity of resident wildlife, including elephant, may be viewed in the valley.
Askaris (Maasai warrior guards) accompany you to and from your cottage at night.
Round stone walls and polished floors beautifully offset the soft cream and gossamer-fabric interiors. The dιcor at Klein's resembles an old Tangyanikan coffee plantation house.
The camp has a large, beautifully furnished bar/living area, plunge pool, curio shop and leisure deck. The curio shop stocks locally made Maasai crafts. The shared living spaces - the restaurant and lounge - command spectacular views of the valley and surrounding hills. Klein's is ideal for honeymooners, special occasions and for those wishing to see big game in exclusive surroundings.
Savour wholesome Pan-African meals accompanied by flavoursome vegetables and freshly picked herbs from our Shamba, an organic African garden. Each meal is a culinary celebration. Dinners are served in the main dining area, which is graced by a large open fireplace, or in an enchanting bush clearing.
Bush breakfasts at spectacular locations are a speciality. Private dinners can also be arranged.

Day 7 & 8 Serengeti | Meals: BLD
Enjoy morning and afternoon game drives each day.
Game viewing in the Serengeti is never disappointing, as the park has one of the highest concentrations of game in Tanzania. Plains game like Coke's hartebeest, Thomson's gazelle and Grant's gazelle are plentiful. So too are buffalo and wildebeests.
The Serengeti is also famous for the big cats. Thanks to the large food supply provided by the plains game, the big cats are also found in large numbers. Cheetahs love the kopjes as they provide excellent vantage points for spotting prey. Bird lovers will be busy checking off species from their list. Look for the Ruppell's longtailed starling, Griffon vulture, kori bustard, ostrich and the colorful lilac-breasted roller - to name just a few.
In harmony with the fabulous natural surroundings of the Serengeti National Park, this hotel offers an intense wildlife experience accompanied by all the comforts of the most exclusive accommodation. Elegant rooms inspired by Maasai traditions with spectacular views of the hotel gardens or Serengeti plains.

Indulge with a message in the Spa after a game drive. The 24-hour gym offers a wide range of equipment to work out with stunning views of the Serengeti.
The Melia Lagoon View will be the ideal refuge to experience a natural sensation of well-being and spectacular views of the savannah on the horizon. A room decorated in wood and stone, designed as an extension of the landscape outdoors, with a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower.
