Your Luxury Safaris

Your safari begins in vibrant Arusha, the gateway to Tanzania’s northern circuit. After a warm welcome and a short trip briefing, you'll settle in and take in the sights and sounds of this bustling town—known for its lively markets, cultural sites, and views of Mount Meru.

Game drives here deliver memorable wildlife encounters—herds of elephants roam in the hundreds, and predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs are often spotted on the move. You’ll likely see zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, hippo, and buffalo, along with a spectacular variety of birdlife.

After a rewarding day in the bush, settle in at Lake Burunge Tented Lodge. Perched on raised platforms with views over the treetops, the lodge offers thatched rooms with wooden floors, an open-air bar, a swimming pool, and a relaxed restaurant. It’s the perfect blend of comfort and wilderness.
