This wonderful 8-night fly-in safari allows you to visit three of the most famous parts of the northern safari circuit, including Lake Manyara National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti National Park; the use of very high quality luxury camps throughout makes this trip ideal for those celebrating a special occasion.

If you want to catch the great migration in the Serengeti, then ideal timing for this trip would be around April to July– when it's usually passing through the Western Corridor. Alternatively, if you're visiting between about October and December, then consider the very similar Avocet II fly-in safari as an alternative to this trip.

After your safari, if you want to relax on the beach, then add one of our beach add-on trips to Zanzibar, Pemba, Ras Kutani or the Mafia Archipelago, to your itinerary.
