Hotel overview

Lahia Tented Lodge has strategically located itself atop a large hill, affording this luxury safari lodge sensational 360-degree views of the Central Serengeti and Western Corridor from the Main house. Not only is it situated on the path of the Wildebeest Migration, but it’s also within reach of incredible locations like the famous Maasai Kopjes (home to rare reedbucks and one of the Serengeti’s most legendary lion prides) and the game-rich Seronera Valley with its big cats. The tents are built on raised wooden platforms that offer you a good view of game passing by. Each tent has en-suite facilities, an outdoor shower, and a private terrace for relaxation. You'll spend your days exploring the Central Serengeti on game drives, tracking wildlife like plains game, leopards, cheetahs, and lions, followed by some relaxation by the pool or simply sitting in the cosy lounge and enjoying an evening drink while reading a book.

Excursion

Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti

There really is nothing quite like gliding silently over the vast plains of the Serengeti as the sun comes up. No pictures can do the experience justice and, even if you weren’t to see any wildlife during your hot air balloon ride (as unlikely as that may be), you would not feel hard done by. The experience starts very early, as you are collected from your hotel or lodge to meet at the launch site before sunrise; although the exact direction and duration of the flight are dependent on the winds, the average flight time is one hour, with part of the flight reaching at least 1000 feet which gives some incredible panoramic photo opportunities. Following the flight, you will celebrate with champagne and an English breakfast under a tree in an unforgettable setting. You will then be taken back to your collection point where your safari guide will be waiting to take you on a game drive back to your lodge. Whilst undeniably an expensive excursion, this really is a once in a lifetime experience and worth pushing the boat out for.

Excursion

Cradle of Mankind, Oldavai Gorge, Serengeti

Located in the south of the Serengeti National Park, Olduvai Gorge is famed for a playing host to a rich treasure-trove of human and animal fossils that date back to the beginning of human life. Few places in the world can match the Serengeti’s long human history, earning this part of Africa the title ‘Cradle of Mankind’. A museum and visitor centre overlook the gorge, offering regular talks by local antiquities guides on the area. This is a fascinating place and well worth a visit if you are staying anywhere near the area. Pre-booking is not necessary but please check to see if a visit is possible in your itinerary: if so, ask your safari guide to visit there during a safari activity and explore this intriguing place!

Excursion

4x4 Game Drives

There is nothing more exciting than setting off at sunrise for a game drive with your professional guide, the cool air of the morning adding to the anticipation and excitement of what the day will bring. All of our guides for Tanzania are trained to the highest level, with incredible knowledge of the country’s flora and fauna; this knowledge is not limited to the larger mammals, but includes the wider bio system and how each and every bird, animal, plant and insect plays their part in the circle of life. Game drives are often split into morning and afternoon activities, with the earlier slot departing as the sun rises and returning you to your camp or lodge mid-morning. The afternoon safari activity usually departs at around 15.30-16.00 and returns just after sunset. Some camps and lodges offer full day game drives for those that want to explore a little further afield, where you can bring a picnic lunch and find a shady spot to rest and enjoy it in the wilderness. Whether you choose a morning, afternoon or full day safari activity, you are sure to see something new on each and every game drive; keep your eyes peeled, because you never know what’s just around the next corner or bush…
