Serengeti and Zanzibar – 8 Days

Nestled on a lush coffee plantation just five minutes from Arusha Airport, Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge offers a charming and comfortable base at the start or end of your Tanzanian safari. Originally built as a coffee plantation homestead, the lodge blends history with luxury. Spacious rooms and suites are set among tranquil gardens, seamlessly integrated with the working coffee estate.

Food lovers will enjoy two on-site restaurants. At The Grill Room, the Executive Chef curates gourmet menus designed for discerning palates. The Bistro provides a more relaxed dining experience, serving wood-fired pizzas from the on-site oven alongside crisp, fresh salads.

Within the lodge grounds, Traders Walk invites guests to explore boutique shops and local culture. Highlights include Shanga, a vibrant workshop where artisans with disabilities craft unique art and jewelry from recycled materials, as well as a Tanzanite shop, gift store, and a welcoming café.

Elewana Serengeti Migration Camp sits in a remote corner of the northern Serengeti, nestled among rugged rocky outcrops and overlooking the wildlife-rich Grumeti River. Designed with natural wood and canvas, the camp blends classic safari style with modern comfort. Guests can relax in a split-level lounge, cool off in the swimming pool, or take in panoramic views from elevated viewing decks that showcase the Serengeti’s dramatic landscapes.

The camp lies directly on the path of the Great Wildebeest Migration. Between July and August, thousands of wildebeest thunder north toward the Masai Mara, and later in the year they return across the plains. Yet the magic of the Serengeti extends well beyond the migration. Year-round, the park teems with predators, elephants, giraffes, and countless plains game, making it one of the world’s richest and most spectacular ecosystems.

Perched on the slopes of the Olgarabosho Hills, Elewana Serengeti Pioneer Camp offers sweeping views over the Moru Kopjes, Lake Magadi, and the endless Serengeti plains. The camp’s original lounge, built by renowned conservationist and wildlife filmmaker Alan Root, adds a touch of history to this iconic safari retreat. Its secluded location in the southern Serengeti places guests in prime position to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration and embark on unforgettable game drives.

Days at Pioneer Camp begin with an early champagne picnic breakfast, continue with thrilling wildlife encounters and a private picnic lunch on a rocky outcrop, and end with sundowners overlooking the vast plains.

The tented suites combine safari authenticity with modern comfort. Each features throw rugs, soft furnishings crafted from sustainable local materials, and vintage touches such as leather trunks and lanterns. En suite bathrooms include a flushing toilet, vanity basin, and period-style hot shower, evoking the romance of early 20th-century safaris while ensuring contemporary convenience.

Tucked away on Zanzibar’s northern coast, Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar is an exclusive luxury resort designed for privacy, romance, and barefoot elegance. Originally built for ABBA’s Benny Andersson, the property blends Scandinavian minimalism with Swahili, Middle Eastern, and African design.

The resort offers 15 white-domed pavilion suites, each with private plunge pools, rainfall showers, and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Personalized butler service ensures every stay is seamless and bespoke.

Sustainable by design, Kilindi uses solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and eco-conscious practices, all while delivering five-star comfort. Guests can indulge in fresh seafood, locally inspired cuisine, or private beachfront dining experiences.

From snorkeling and diving to spice tours and cultural visits to Stone Town, Kilindi combines relaxation with adventure. Perfect for honeymoons or romantic escapes, Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar is the ultimate eco-luxury retreat on the Spice Island.
