Govanors Fly-In Safari

After crossing the border into Tanzania, stop for lunch in Arusha. Then, board a flight to Tarangire National Park and settle into your luxurious accommodations. Set in a secluded area of the park for a more exclusive safari experience, ecofriendly Swala Camp, an Sanctuary's large tents are built on raised decks under umbrella acacia trees overlooking a popular watering hole. The layout is open, with resident impala often grazing in camp. Wide panoramas of wooded savanna stretch in every direction in, which is nurtured by the permanent Tarangire River and populated by abundant big game. Its dusty red landscape also hosts a large bird population. Tonight, dine in camp.

Embark on morning and afternoon game drives to explore Tarangire National Park and its stunning concentration of animals — herds of elephants, impala and zebra. Look, too, for pythons and the twitching tail of a leopard hiding in high branches. This afternoon, partake in a Chef's Table experience, a cooking demonstration of local dishes such as ugali, makande and kachumbari.

Learn how Tanzanians live today, exploring a local village, strolling the local market to see the colorful produce on display. Afterward, head to your restful luxury lodge, set near the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, for lunch. This afternoon, enjoy one of these Design Your Day activities.

• Walk with a Maasai Healer, discovering the uses of over 20 different indigenous plants in the Ngorongoro forest.
• Bicycle Village Streets and Back Roads, getting a feel for life as the locals live it.
• Enjoy a Traditional High Tea on the veranda overlooking the gardens at Gibb's Farm; meet the artist-in-residence.

Settle in for a tranquil evening and overnight stay.
