On arrival to Kilimanjaro International Airport, our dedicated SkySafari Guest Representative welcomes our SkySafari guests to Tanzania. Each guest is chauffeured to Arusha Coffee Lodge, one hour’s drive from Kilimanjaro itself.

Arusha Coffee Lodge

Situated on the foothills of Mount Meru, Arusha Coffee Lodge nestles within one of Tanzania’s largest working coffee plantations.

Tarangire Treetops

On landing at Tarangire airstrip, our SkySafari Guests are met by the Tarangire Treetops Guide. The transfer to Tarangire Treetops includes a fascinating game-drive through the famed Tarangire National Park, home to the largest concentration of elephants in Tanzania. Tarangire is a dramatically beautiful and diverse eco system, boasting one of the largest concentrations of elephant in East Africa. These mobs of elephant are easily encountered, wet or dry. The swamps, tinged green year round, are the focus for 550 bird varieties, the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. A truly unique accommodation experience, twenty luxury suites sit on elevated platforms among the branches of the surrounding baobab and marula trees, stirring up memories of childhood treehouses. Centred around a main bar and dining area, featuring a 1,000 year old baobab tree, Tarangire Treetops sits in a private 77,000 acre conservancy bordering the national park. Enjoy adventurous bush walks alongside elephants, and breathtaking sundowners atop Sunset Hill.

The Manor At Ngorongoro

Nestled adjacent to the breath taking Ngorongoro Conservation Area within the 1,500 acre Shangri-La Coffee estate, The Manor at Ngorongoro is a one-of-a-kind experience. African hospitality fused with old world Afro-European architecture and décor embraces you in luxuriant style surrounded by the natural splendour of the Tanzanian highlands and the world heritage site: The Ngorongoro Crater. Standing on the edge and taking in the vast beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience that will remain forever with many visitors. The view is rivalled only by the wildlife spectacle that awaits on the floor of the crater, including the Big 5. The result of a volcanic eruption 2-3 Million years ago, the caldera floor covers 64,000 acres and encompasses open grassy plains, acacia thickets, riverine forest, and fresh and soda lakes. Warmly greeted by the managers of The Manor, and having enjoyed The Manor’s special ‘High Tea’, our SkySafari guests will be invited to their very own Manor Cottage to unpack, unwind and relax before being invited back to the Main House for evening dinner. And for those who wish to explore, the swimming pool, spa, games room and stables await discovery

After a leisurely lunch, our SkySafari guests once again take to the road for a shared game drive en-route to the airstrip for the onward flight to Arusha. During this 50-minute flight, you will be able to see, from the air, the ever-changing landscape of the bush and the mountainous topography that reminds all who see it of Tanzania’s violent geological past. On arrival at Arusha airstrip, our SkySafari guests will be transferred to Arusha Coffee Lodge and will either be offered a day room to relax and freshen up before leaving for their onward flight or to be checked into a Plantation Suite for one final night* of relaxation before flying out from Kilimanjaro the next day.
