Activities

Game drives are offers at all our bush camps (ie. all except Mnemba Island).

They have very different characteristics due to differing terrain and wildlife in each of the different regions.

&Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge:

The camp is located on the rim of the crater and drives take a significant amount of time to reach the crater's floor, so guests are typically offered either a single morning game drive or afternoon game drive per day.  Expect lush forests, flamingoes, grazing herbivores and predators that are attracted by their prey.

&Beyond Serengeti Grumeti River Lodge:

Twice-daily game drives, with sunrise and sundowner stops. A classic big 5 safari experience.

&Beyond Klein's Camp:

Off-road night drives in search of your favourite wildlife.  Klein's is in a private concession and such one can expect to encounter no other vehicles. It's famous for its enormous prides of lion, as well as some of the best leopard viewing in Tanzania.

&Beyond Serengeti Under Canvas:

At andBeyond Serengeti Under Canvas game drives are tailored to suit your preference, with a choice between shorter, twice-daily drives or one long all-day game drive with a stop for a picnic lunch.
