What Awaits You

Visit Historic Lodges and Iconic Locations: Rest easy during your adventures at amazing landmarks such as the historic Ndutu Safari Lodge, the oldest lodge in Tanzania. Wake to the peaceful sounds of wildlife at Mount Meru Game Lodge, family run since 1950 where the story doesn’t end at sundown.
A Journey Through Culture and Nature: This adventure takes you to local villages, coffee plantations, and even into canoes on the peaceful Crater Lake. Hike through the Duluti Forest, connect with people, and truly experience Africa beyond the lens of a camera.
