Untamed & Unforgettable

A high-end safari experience through East Africa’s most iconic landscapes

Untamed & Unforgettable: 8 Days Across Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Masai Mara

This Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Masai Mara safari isn’t just about seeing wildlife. It’s about feeling the hush of dawn across an ancient caldera, sipping sundowners as herds silhouette against fire-orange skies, and waking to the slow crunch of an elephant passing your suite.

This is not your standard tour. It’s carefully curated for travellers who’ve already seen the world and are now ready to feel it.

You’ll begin at Arusha before transferring to Ngorongoro Crater, where the floor of an extinct volcano cradles lions, rhinos, and zebra in cinematic harmony. Then, off to the Serengeti, vast, raw, real. From there, you’ll cross into Kenya’s Masai Mara, chasing the rhythm of the migration and finishing with flamingos and quiet elegance on the shores of Lake Nakuru.

Private guides. Thoughtful pacing. Seamless transitions. It’s a safari without compromise for those who appreciate space, silence, and stories worth telling.

1

Arusha

Arrive in Arusha – Reset in Style

Your safari begins with a quiet welcome. A host meets you on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport. No rush. Cold towel, gentle greeting, and a direct transfer for relaxation in Arusha.

You’ll spend the night at a refined lodge surrounded by acacia trees and birdcall. Think open-air dining, deep bathtubs, and beds that feel like a cloud after a long flight.

Sleep comes easy.

Ngorongoro

Into the Highlands – Welcome to Ngorongoro

After a gourmet breakfast, a private driver-guide escorts you out of the city. As the roads wind upward, the air shifts. Cooler. Fresher. Cleaner.

You arrive at the crater rim in time for a late lunch with panoramic views. The lodge is perched quietly above the forest, blending into the hillside. Expect fire-lit lounges, vintage touches, and windows that make you feel like you’re floating.

This evening, you dine as the sun bleeds across the sky and the highland mist rolls in.

Ngorongoro

Crater Descent – A Morning in Eden

You descend into Ngorongoro Crater just after dawn. It’s still. Cold enough for breath to show. Within minutes, you see movement. A herd of buffalo, a lone rhino, lions lounging beside the road.

Everything feels close here. Everything feels possible.

Your picnic is laid out beneath a fig tree while hippos grunt from a nearby pool. You return to your lodge mid-afternoon, just in time for a slow, contemplative glass of wine by the fire.

Serengeti

Journey to the Serengeti – Land Without Limits

The drive to the Serengeti is a safari in itself. You pass through Masai homesteads, then the vast conservation lands that link Tanzania’s great parks. Eventually, the grass opens up. Golden. Endless.

Your lodge here is built low to the ground, with canvas and timber blending into the earth. Staff greet you by name. A cool drink appears in your hand without asking. The silence is magnetic.

That night, you drift to sleep with the sound of distant hyena calls and wind in the grass.

Serengeti

Serengeti Safari – A Day You Won’t Forget

You rise early. Coffee delivered to your tent. No alarm needed. Your excitement is enough.

The morning drive is unforgettable. A cheetah with cubs. A leopard draped over a branch. Hundreds of wildebeest rolling through the plains like thunder.

After a bush breakfast, you continue deeper into the park. Your guide is sharp, intuitive, patient. Every sighting is unhurried. Lunch is served under an acacia tree.

That evening, back at camp, you’re handed a gin and tonic and a warm towel as a bonfire crackles. The sky bursts into stars.

Masai Mara

Day 6: Cross to Kenya – From Serengeti to Masai Mara

Today you cross into Kenya via the Isebania border. It’s a long day, but everything is taken care of. Immigration, transfers, lunch en route.

By late afternoon, you arrive in the Masai Mara. Your lodge is classic Kenya. Elegance with safari roots. Think open fires, deep leather chairs, and white-linen dinners with views that stop conversation.

You’re tired, but content. It’s a good kind of tired.

Masai Mara

Day 7: Masai Mara – Into the Pulse of Africa

This is your grand finale before you depart the Serengeti Mara region. Today, you spend the full day in the Masai Mara with a private vehicle. The sightings are rich, especially if it’s migration season. Crossings, predators, and pure chaos at the river’s edge.

But even without the migration, the Mara never disappoints. Elephants in golden light. Giraffes framing the horizon. Lions sleeping beside the vehicle like you don’t exist.

By now, you know the rhythm. You stop for breakfast in the wild. You don’t chase sightings. They find you.

Your farewell dinner tonight is candlelit, with gentle Masai singing in the distance.

Lake Nakuru

Day 8: Lake Nakuru and Departure

You leave early for Lake Nakuru. A final morning drive through the acacia woodland that shall reveal white rhinos, tree-climbing lions, and a sea of pink flamingos.

There’s a softness to this place. A reflective ending. No drama, just quiet beauty.

By afternoon, you’re on your way to Nairobi for your evening flight back home or to another destination. You’re leaving Africa, but filled with exciting experiences that stays with you for longer than you may imagine.

You’ll think about this trip for years.
