Bush & Beach: The Ultimate Tanzanian Adventure

Enjoy a full day game drive on the crater floor. Considered an 8th wonder, here you will find a wide range of wildlife, including the elusive rhino. Our vehicles have charging facilities and a fridge with cold drinks. Our vehicles are driven by excellent guides who will ensure you see the best of what Ngorongoro has to offer. All vehicles on the crater floor are closed vehicles with pop up roofs.

No safari is complete without experiencing a traditional bush lunch. Relax under the natural canopy of an acacia tree, whilst your personal butler serves up a feast. Nothing is quite so essentially safari as this. Tailored service with cold drinks and your private chef preparing delicious meals surrounded by breath-taking surroundings in total privacy totally completes this Out of Africa experience. After enjoying your morning game drive, your guide will bring you to your private location within the Ngorongoro Crater where our team awaits to seat you.

Sundowners are more than just a happy hour. They are a very cherished African tradition and form an integral part of your safari experience. It is a time to relax, reminisce the day gone by, enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine around the camp fire with fellow travellers, and watch as the sun goes down over the Serengeti plains.

We believe that a visit to a Masai Boma should be an authentic cultural and educational experience based on mutual respect. Over the years we have built a close relationship with Chief Lubolo, a young visionary leader with a strong passion for education. He invites our guests to one of his bomas offering a memorable opportunity to interactively experience the Maasai way of life. During the excursion through the traditional boma guests will participate in various unique cultural activities, have the opportunity to sit and talk with Chief Lubolo and are encouraged to delve as deep into the experience as possible! There will also be a possibility to buy traditional beaded jewelry handmade by the women in the boma. A rare and authentic glimpse into the distinctive Maasai culture.

A walk in the highlands is a sensory adventure like no other. Tanzania is one of the best safari countries for walking, with a number of parks allowing guests to experience a more up-close-and-personal encounter. Follow in the footsteps of animals, accompanied by highly skilled and knowledgeable guides. Along the way you might identify animal tracks, learn about fascinating plants, spot some of the smaller animals and insects (you wouldn’t necessarily see from a vehicle) as well as feel the buzz of tracking some of the larger game. There is no better way to learn about the bush.

Tanzania has great appeal for families. Seeing animals is very exciting for children, and nothing can prepare a parent for the delight of watching their child’s reaction when they catch sight of a lion, giraffe or elephant for the very first time. Lemala Cubs offers our special guests under the age of 12, a range of wonderful opportunities to experience and enjoy the magic of the African bush. These activities are fun, educational and interesting, showing future generations the need for conservation of Africa’s wildlife, and keep kids well entertained while mum and dad relax.

his is a truly authentic and unique way to get a glimpse of the way of life in Tanzania. You will meet Sunday, a local hero to many, who has a great story to tell. You will be guided throughout, enjoying a cultural experience in the village of Mto wa Mbu on the border of Lake Manyara National Park, and home to banana plantations growing tens of varieties - including the sweetest red bananas! You will spend a few hours exploring the villages using the favoured mode of transport in the area - local tuk tuks - designed to give you a birds eye view as you meander around the narrow streets. You will see the rice fields and learn how it plays such a vital part in the food of Tanzanians, meet the Makonde carvers, watch the colourful Tinga Tinga painters - and try your hand yourself, visit a local primary school which we support, and before finishing up with a scrumptious Tanzanian lunch in the shade of the famous banana trees.

You can enjoy game drives from here on a shared or on exclusive use basis. We use a combination of open and closed 4 x 4 Land Cruiser vehicles. Very reliable, comfortable and well-maintained with charging facilities, fridge on board, photography stabilizing bean bags, vehicle recovery equipment, VHF Radio communication, specialized guide books, first aid kit, seatbelts, binoculars and last but not least, great guides who undergo bi-yearly training with our internal and external guide trainers.

A balloon safari offers an opportunity to see the wildlife areas from a unique perspective. Take in the wilderness below as you silently float over the vast plains (in whichever direction the wind takes you). Follow a large herd of wildebeest, see a lion stalk its prey or just marvel at the magnificent scenery before touching down for a bush breakfast like no other. If you only take one balloon flight in your life, this is the place to do it.

No safari is complete without experiencing a traditional outdoor, open-air lunch or dinner. Relax under the natural canopy of an acacia tree, while your personal butler serves up a feast. Nothing is quite so essentially safari as this. White linen, fine bone china and crystal glassware create a real "Out of Africa" experience - both daytime and night.
