A Fully Private Family Vacation in Tanzania

Guide Price: From US$26 810 pp.
10 Days

Escape in complete privacy with your family on an exclusive luxury lodge-based safari in northern Tanzania...


DAY 1 - ARRIVAL

After landing at Kilimanjaro Airport and a welcome meet, we board a helicopter to whisk you away to the town of Arusha, and to Legendary Lodge below the slopes of Mount Meru. The 25-minute flight offers beautiful views of Mount Meru and the working coffee plantation on which this lodge is located on your way into it.


DAYS 1 TO 3 - ARUSHA

Set on a fragrant working coffee farm on the outskirts of Arusha, Legendary Lodge offers colonial-style luxury accommodation at the foothills of Mount Meru. The Lodge is known for its exceptional service and features, including a fully equipped spa and fitness center. Our accommodation for 2 nights at Legendary Lodge will be in the spacious and very private Meru Suite, which offers a wonderful outdoor terrace for private family lunches and relaxation.


DAYS 3 TO 5 - LAKE MANYARA

From our retreat in Arusha, we take the short drive to Lake Manyara Tree Lodge - the only permanent accommodation within the Lake Manyara National Park. The lodge is renowned for its stilted tree houses tucked away in a mahogany forest on the lake shore below the Great Rift Valley.

The Lake Manyara region is famous for its tree climbing lions and herds of elephant which can be seen on booth day and night drives with your personal guide. The lake is also a haven for migratory water birds and flocks of pink flamingos.


DAYS 5 TO 7 - THE NGORONGORO HIGHLANDS

We move on to the next leg of our journey via private vehicle to the famous Ngorongoro Crater, approximately a 3 hour scenic drive up the wall of the Great Rift Valley and into the Ngorongoro highlands. The drive affords great scenery along the way to our destination at Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. We stay here in the exclusive Family Suite that offers complete privacy, beautifully decorated suites and spacious viewing decks.

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is pure opulence, perched on the rim of the crater. Its views over the crater floor are simply magnificent and the fine dining on offer has given the lodge a well-deserved reputation for excellence. Highlights of a stay here include decadent bush dinners and private descents in a vehicle with only your family and the guide to the crater floor to view all of the Big 5.


DAYS 7 TO 10 - THE SERENGETI

From the Ngorongoro area we board a flight into the Serengeti. Our Tanzania safari ends on a high note with a 4 night stay at the exclusive use Singita Serengeti House. This wonderful exclusive-use villa is ideal for families or small groups on safari together. All aspects of a stay at Singita Serengeti can be tailored to your tastes and preferences, from game viewing activities, to meals and bespoke experiences.

A private guide and 4x4 game viewing vehicle is available for our exclusive use to search for the Big 5 or the wildebeest migration at the right time of year. A fully equipped spa, private chef and al fresco meals under the Serengeti stars perfectly finish a stay in the Serengeti.


DAY 10 - HOMEBOUND

On the 10th day we fly back to Kilimanjaro Airport, where we board our homeward bound flight, usually arriving home the following morning.


Please note that this is only a sample itinerary - we will tailor your trip to suit your preferences.

    We have arrived back safely to Bangkok. We want to personally thank you and your team at Robert Marks for recommending and helping to organize one of the best trip of our lives. We both fell in love with Kenya and Tanzania and was sad to leave. Mahali Mzuri and Mnemba Island were well over our initial expectations.

    We are back in Sydney, I'm not back at work until Wednesday, Absolutely amazing - I don't know where to start. I would rattle on email so perhaps we can chat when you are free. Happy to give you feedback, suffice to say we will be booking all future African trips with you.

    We had a fantastic time, everything ran very smoothly. The internal flight times changed (I think for every single one!) but the guides knew what was going on and had us there at an appropriate time for each. Thanks for all your hard work organising this magical trip for us.

    Sam L


    The safari was a success and the wife was deeply satisfied. the game in Masai mara was great, the kindness of the people was amazing.

    Thanks to you, your expertise and your attention to my needs, this trip was the best of my life! and i had fabulous trips in my life already, but this one surpassed them all. there was not a single hiccup with accommodation or transportation. nothing. flawless!

    The trip was well organised and i am happy i finished it with Namibia. Wow!

    Karen, France

    We had a simply wonderful trip especially in Botswana. Super accommodation, wonderful guides. Everything was so organised with the food and we were a little worried that we might not have much to eat as vegans, but everyone was very accommodating and we ate so very well! :-).

    Sebastien, Vancouver

    I'm very impressed by every detail, particularly the seamless guidance from the moment I landed Nairobi. This took away my biggest concern with safety. Thank you very much again Catherine for all efforts made. Africa now becomes a preferred option for our family holiday. I'm sure I'll need your help again not too long.

    F. Y. - Hong Kong


    Thanks for the follow up. We had a great time and the organisation all went very smoothly, so many thanks. The private plane charter was a big success – the kids loved it. And very swish service etc. – all very impressive, felt rather special and was a wonderful start.

    John, Singapore


    Hi Stacey, Thank you for this! And thank you for this amazing trip, we can't quite believe it, it's been so magnificent so far and we are totally in love with South Africa, it's been incredible. And these places!!! We've toasted a few times to you so far, this is amazing!!!

    Gen, Hong Kong


    Hi Rob, My Fiancee and I had a wonderful time on the trip. All of the camps you chose for the safaris were top notch and we saw pretty much everything (4 of the big 5). Thanks again for you help and setting up a most memorable trip.

    Kenneth, Hong Kong

    Thank you so much for your email and for organising this trip for us.

    Yes everything went smoothly and me and my buddies, we had a great time. Thanks for your help in arranging this trip. It was fantastic and memorable!

    Joey, Singapore

    Ol Donyo was really magnificent. The managers of the camp - Shaun Mousley and Amy both are very warm and friendly. They made us feel very welcomed and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ol Donyo. The camp is on par in terms of standards with Singita group, in terms of quality of their accommodation and service.

    Joey, Singapore



    We had an absolutely wonderful time in SA! Thank you for all your arrangements!

    Peggy



    The tour you organised to Cape Point was excellent and our guide for the day, Jerry, was very engaging and knowledgeable.

    Jeremy



    Our recommendation for first timer safari goers is that 5 days is an absolute minimum to go for.

    Karen, Singapore


    We were very happy with the whole trip and are planning to visit different lodges in Africa. Next up we are looking at Tanzania for next year and we think it will likely be a yearly trip for us to Africa!

    Karen, Singapore


    The feeling at Mara Plains was really good. The managers were great, a lovely couple, and the guides were really good as well.

    Nick, Hong Kong



    Everything went really, really well with the whole trip. In hindsight the highlights were the Gorillas and Victoria Falls.

    Nick, New York



    Botswana - The safari was incredible!

    Daniel G

    The safari turned out to be the absolute highlight of our trip.

    Thank you so much for recommending Sabi Sabi. It was perfect for us. We loved every minute of the safari experience and each day saw The Big 5 - and more!! It was a truly remarkable experience.

    Linsey

    Thanks Stacey, we had a great time, everything went very smoothly. By far the easiest trip we have taken. Kim was there to meet us in Johannesburg and everything went very smooth from there, pickups, flights, reservations, etc. Ate way too much, saw lions on a kudu hunt, leopard finishing off a little duiker, rhino, elephant, impala, bush bark, water buffalo, wildebeest, nyla, etc. Very sad to leave!

    Robert, Malaysia


    Suffice to say we had a great time! The organisation worked as clockwork, and all thanks to you for organising it perfectly. The two guides we had were excellent and we saw the Big 5 in both Tarangire and the Serengeti.

    S. S. - Malaysia


    We really had a fantastic time. Thanks for putting together such a great itinerary for us, we really were impressed with the quality of the itinerary that you put together for us.

    Ray - Hong Kong


    Little Tubu was our favourite of the three camps we stayed at but even the others were also really good. Small camp and far away from everything, really great. Suggestions from Robert Mark were very good and the staff at the camps looked after us well. Very exciting.

    Danny Ng - Hong Kong



    Spent 10 Days in Kenya Oct 2014, had a great time, everything was superb, thanks a lot RMS for organizing everything. Tarryn & Glen

    Tarryn & Glen - Dubai

    We utilized Robert Mark Safaris for a recent adventure holiday to Serengeti & Ngorongoro. It had always been on our bucket list. Robert Mark Safaris were fantastic in ensuring that out trip went seamlessly, and we were especially pleased with the detail that they placed on our personal requests. They also provided some great recommendations that added special memories to our trip. Thanks again, we will be back.

    Steven Rowe - Australia

    Amazing experience that took us to two different safari lodges.

    With plenty of opportunities for hiccups along the way the whole trip ran very smoothly and was the trip of a life time. I highly recommend Robert Mark Safaris if you are looking for a hassle free, safari experience.

    David S - Hong Kong



    Our expectations were high, but the reality topped all preconceptions.

    Dave

    A group of my friends and I were looking for an African Adventure when we were recommended Robert Mark Safaris, and we were not disappointed. We had the most fabulous tour ever - Initially we spent a week in the beautiful Cape Town. The service we received from the Robert Mark Safaris team were second to none and we could not be more thankful. Thanks again, and we cant wait to return!

    Pierre V - Australia


    We could hear the elephants walking through the camp at night, hyenas cackling away close by and even hippos as they left the water to graze in the cool of the evening.

    Fonty Z


    Elephants were a frequent visitor around our tent particularly one which liked to sleep beside our tent, buffalo tended to wander past and numerous small animals delighted us with their antics.

    Bev P



    Mombo is one of the premier camps in the Okavango Delta. Food, accommodation and service are absolutely top class.

    E - for excellent, excessive and exceptional.

    Eud - Hong Kong


    Excellent Trip! King's Pool will be first on our list for our next visit to Botswana.

    Spencer L



    Our entire experience at Chitabe was first-class. The wildlife we were able to see in a few short days was unbelievable.

    Paharlan


    "Abu Camp on the Okavango Delta in Botswana is surely at the top end for luxury African safari camps… There is an incredible amount of game to be viewed… Finally, the great attraction of the camp is the Abu elephant herd."

    Gordon D

    My Boyfriend and I were very happy with the service provided by Robert Mark Safaris on our visit to the South Africa - we went to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve and Cape Town They made sure we were taken care of the whole way through and even planned ahead of us to make sure our activities were scheduled according to the weather conditions. Two Thumbs up!

    E Lim - Singapore

    I was fortunate enough to get to spend two nights at Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge. What a great Experience. Sabi Sabi is a top class reserve and the game viewing was brilliant. Robert Mark Safaris did a great job & the lodge itself is luxurious and modern and a really nice place to return to after sundowners and a night drive!
