Tinkerbird Fly-in Safari: Summary
Tinkerbird safari in a nutshell
This varied fly-in safari explores Tanzania’s famous northern circuit, featuring Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti National Park.
The trip includes four smart sister camps, all of which share the same consistency in top-quality management, level of care and standard of guiding. They are run by an experienced safari operator who frequently chooses camps for their special location.
Beginning at Oliver’s, which feels more reminiscent of a traditional bushcamp than the rest, guests can explore the quieter south-eastern regions of Tarangire where it is comparatively less common to pass other safari vehicles.
Next, The Highlands is set apart from other camps on the Ngorongoro Crater rim, in a prime position overlooking the forested slopes by Olmoti Volcano. Here it is the extraordinary design as well as the views that appeal, with guests staying in bubbled domes raised high above the treeline, affording spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
Dunia is near to the Serengeti’s Moru Kopjes and allows longer and quieter exploration of the region, overlooking open savannah where resident rhino and big cats may be found. To date, Dunia is also the only safari camp run by an all-female team, a factor which contributes to the wonderfully unique and welcoming atmosphere there.
Concluding with the most luxurious, Sayari is a permanent camp based in the north of the Serengeti. Despite the rich game here, it is removed from other populated areas and between July and October is particularly well-positioned for the migration’s famous river crossings.
This selection of camps offers a range of safari activities. There are ample walking opportunities throughout the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Tarangire, and night drives and balloon flights might also be arranged for further variety.
