Luxury Travel and safaris to Tanzania

From the famous Northern circuit of Tanzania that takes in the unique and spectacular Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, chimp trekking in Mahale or the more remote safari experiences in Selous and Katavi, Tanzania presents many opportunities for a connoisseur's safari, combining private game reserves and remote places with alternative interpretations of a safari.

Tanzania, with its many luxury lodges, private game reserves and beautifully remote spots present numerous options for the luxury traveller.

The Serengeti, famous as the continuation of the Masai Mara- Serengeti eco-system, is about three times the size of the Masai Mara, with far fewer lodges- a characteristically ideal for luxury travel.

Whilst the Northern circuit typically covers Arusha, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, look eastwards too, towards Lake Manyara, described by Arthur Rimbaud as 'the most beautiful place on earth'. With much less cache and a foothold on the popular imagination than, say, Ngorongoro Crater, the lush forests of Lake Manyara will lure, surprise and draw in even the most seasoned of safari travellers.

True to the style of Urbane Nomads, we'll have you based in a luxury lodge- albeit one where guests feel part of the natural surroundings and infrastructure. You could run into an African bull elephant on the way back to your room, blowing bubbles in your bath while watching wildlife right outside the full glass windows of your bath or indulge in the outdoor rainshower whilst watching and being watched) by monkeys and baboons perched on a suitably advantageous point nearby. Urbane Nomads combines luxury lodges in Africa without detracting from the experience of being in the wild- the true luxury, perhaps, in having guests comfortably based whilst Africa works its magic.
