Longclaw Fly-in Safari: Summary
Longclaw safari in a nutshell
This varied fly-in safari offers an in-depth exploration of Tarangire National Park and the Serengeti. The three camps have been chosen for their combination of rich wildlife and remote surroundings, where it is possible to see all of the popular big game with considerable exclusivity.
Beginning in the wilder, quieter south-east of Tarangire, Oliver’s Camp provides excellent wildlife and birding opportunities away from the crowds. Moving on, the luxurious Namiri Plains is at least 45 minutes' drive from its nearest neighbours, whilst migratory Kimondo is either nestled in the remote northern Lamai Wedge or in the quieter south-eastern Kusini area.
Be it amidst the forests and marshlands of Tarangire or the short grass plains and rolling country of the Serengeti, guests will enjoy rich wildlife encounters in some of the more isolated areas of these renowned parks. This intimate safari experience is enhanced by the size of the camps, which each have no more than 10 tents.
Further immersive experiences such as bush walks and night drives are available, and a consistency in management ensures that there is a high level of comfort and quality throughout. Staying in camps which boast considerable luxury, guests are also able to benefit from seasonal long-stay discounts.
Keep watch for the "big five", the great migration and a plethora of other interesting species during this spectacular exploration of northern Tanzania.
