In the afternoon, make your way up the steep Rift Valley escarpment, into the small town of Karatu and up to Plantation Lodge.After checking in, enjoy a refreshing swim or relax under the trees in the beautiful garden.

An early start to the day is best in order to avoid the later influx of tourists into the Ngorongoro Crater. The park gate opens at 0600, so it is best to be there as close to this time as possible. Enjoy a packed lunch under the trees on the crater floor, but keep an eye out for the monkey’s which are always keen to take advantage of an opportunistic moment. In the afternoon, drive up and out of the crater, and back down the road towards Karatu. Spend the afternoon in the pool, schedule a massage, or catch up on some reading under the trees.

After a hearty breakfast, depart from Plantation Lodge and make your way back up to the rim of the crater. The road follows the western side before dropping away in a north westerly direction towards the vast plains of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Depending on how you are feeling, you can head into Ubuntu Camp in the early afternoon and relax, or stay out game driving for longer. With a private driver guide, your time is your own and you are in complete control of how you structure your day and the time available to you.

You can decide how you wish to spend your days at Ubuntu Camp. You could rise early and head into the bush with a picnic breakfast, catching the first rays of golden sun breaking over the mega herd. Or enjoy breakfast in camp and head out slightly later with a packed lunch.There are numerous possibilities, and the convenience of a private vehicle allows for you to decide how best to structure your time.

One of only a handful of boutique lodges in Zanzibar, Matemwe is perched on a coral rock outcrop overlooking a white sandy beach gently sloping into the Indian Ocean. Adjacent to the lodge, the corals surrounding the Mnemba Atoll offer superb diving and snorkelling.Fresh seafood, refreshing cocktails and relaxing massages are just some elements of the laid-back daily routines of Matemwe’s guests.

There are a variety of activities available either at Matemwe Lodge, or that can be arranged through reception. Activities outside of the resort can usually be booked at 24 hours’ notice, so it is best to arrange these on arrival at the lodge. Your days are therefore open to be structured as you choose, with either as much relaxing by the pool, or as many activities as you wish.

Depending on the time of your flight out of Zanzibar, a Day Room at Matemwe can be booked. – This allows you a space in which to relax and shower before getting the homeward journey underway. – Island Express will meet you at the lodge and transfer you to Zanzibar Airport in time for your Coastal Aviation flight across to Dar es Salaam. – Connect with a quick inter-terminal shuttle and check-in for your international flight home Safari Information
