homestead. The spacious rooms and suites are scattered throughout

DAY 2 – 3 Elewana Tarangire Treetops
Randilen Private Conservancy, Tarangire
On the edge of Tarangire National Park, Tarangire Treetops’ unique
location in Randilen Private Conservancy allows for night game drives,
guided bush walks, and sundowners.
Centered about a ‘main’ treehouse built in a thousand-year-old baobab, 20
treehouse rooms are surrounded by a dense forest of marula and baobab.
Proximity to the forest canopy allows guests to engage very closely
with the natural world. Guided bush walks and night game drives in the
surrounding conservancy build on this experience, led by knowledgeable
and experienced guides.
The 65 square metre open-faced rooms are built using local materials that
afford views across the Tarangire National Park and Randilen. Each room
is classicly decorated with neutral safari colours and leads on to an en
suite bathroom with a double shower.

DAY 4 – 5 Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro
Elewana The Manor at Ngorongoro lies hidden on Shangri-La Estate, a
1500-acre working Arabica coffee plantation, close to the Ngorongoro
Crater.
A former farmhouse, the main building borrows heavily from Cape Dutch
architecture and is surrounded by 20 guest cottages set in a lush verdant
garden. Dark-wood floors, white walls, vaulted ceilings with exposed
beams, antique furniture, and Persian rugs provide a decadent setting in
which to enjoy a book by the open fire or a soak in the traditional claw-foot
free-standing baths littered with rose petals.
Travellers can enjoy a walk or horse ride through the farm, a coffee tour to
learn about the process of coffee farming, or simply relax by the pool and
enjoy the tranquil environment in the highlands.

DAY 5 Full-Day Ngorongoro Crater Tour
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro Crater, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978, is a
geological spectacle.
The 260 square kilometre caldera was formed three million years ago
when an active volcano exploded. The mineral-rich pastures of the largely
flat crater floor have turned this into a wildlife haven. Over 25,000 large
mammals call the area home, many of whom are endangered, such as the
black rhino and wild dog. Lake Magadi, (not to be confused with the lake
of the same name in Kenya) which sits in the middle of the crater floor
contains alkaline soda water inhabited by blue-green algae. Flamingo and
a number of other bird species feed off the algae and congregate in large
numbers. Along the shores of the lake, Lerai Forest, a dense yellow fever
woodland is frequented by a healthy population of leopard.
DAY 6 – 7 NOVEMBER TO MAY Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp
Serengeti National Park, South Central Serengeti
Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp sits in a stunning location on the side
of the Olgarabosho Hills overlooking the Moru Kopjes, Lake Magadi and
the Serengeti plains.
The original lounge was built by the famous conservationist and wildlife
filmmaker Alan Root as his Serengeti base. In a secluded corner of the
Serengeti, the camp provides excellent access to the Southern Serengeti
wildebeest migration. A perfect vantage point from which to start daylong game drives that being with a champagne picnic breakfast, includes
a delectable picnic lunch on a private rock and ends with a sundowner
overlooking the vast plains.
Each of the enclosed tented rooms is adorned with throw carpets and soft
furnishings made from local and sustainable materials. Leather trunks
and lanterns evoke the spirit of early twentieth century safaris, and the en
suite bathrooms include a flushing toilet, vanity basin and period-style hot
shower.

DAY 6 – 7 JUNE TO OCTOBER Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp
Serengeti National Park, Northern Serengeti
Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp is set in a remote part of northern
Serengeti amongst rugged and rocky outcrops, overlooking the Grumeti
River.
Built using natural wood and all-enveloping canvas, this classic yet
comfortable camp, includes a split-level lounge, a swimming pool and
viewing platforms. The elevated wooden decks throughout camp allow
guests to engage in the drama of the wild directly below while enjoying
360-degree views of the dramatic Serengeti beyond.
The camp is situated right in the path of the wildebeest migration, which
can be seen between July and August as they travel north to the Masai
Mara, and again later towards the end of the year upon their return.
However, visiting the camp should not be overlooked during other times
of the year; the Serengeti is home to the richest plains based ecosystem
in the world.
