Highlights

This 11-day fly-in Africa luxury safari starts with an overnight at Legendary Lodge in Arusha

The next day, fly to Roving Bushtops in Serengeti National Park. This is a mobile camp, but not at the expense of luxury – tents include private decks with hot tubs and and 24-hour butler service, and you have your own private use vehicle

From here, fly to Faru Faru Lodge in Singita Grumeti Reserve, where the herds of wildebeest pass through on their way north from May–July. As well as on off-road game drives and night drives, enjoy some pampering in the spa, a wine tasting by the lodge's sommelier, or a trip to one of the 21 communities bordering the reserve

Next, fly to Angama Mara in the Masai Mara, where you have your own private view of a waterhole and look out onto views immortalized in the film “Out of Africa”

Take full day’s game drive to maximize your chance at catching a glimpse of any early migration herds (July-October). Other activities include hot air balloon safaris, bush walks, and cultural visits to neighbouring Maasai villages

Spend time in Angama’s photographic studio editing your images, and have lunch one day in the spectacular garden shamba
