Exclusive Safari Experiences
THE JOURNEY
Curated With Intention
East Africa's Most Iconic Landscapes. One Seamless Experience.
SOME JOURNEYS MOVE YOU FROM PLACE TO PLACE. tHIS ONE MOVES YOU.
The journey moves through four phases, each with its own rhythm.
Arrival and Immersion — Your first days in the Masai Mara. The landscape settles around you. The wildlife begins.
Into the Crater — The journey crosses into Tanzania and descends into one of the world's great natural wonders in Ngorongoro
The Open Plains — The Serengeti. Scale. Silence. The sense that you are somewhere very few people have ever stood.
The Exhale — A private flight to Zanzibar, where the Indian Ocean replaces the savannah and the journey finds its conclusion.
The most popular format spans fourteen nights in total — but every element is open to adjustment.
Days 1-2
Arrival &
The Maasai Mara
AT MARA
Your journey begins with a scenic flight into the Maasai Mara. The approach by air is your first encounter with the scale of East Africa — an endless canvas of ochre grassland, acacia canopy, and winding river channels. Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Tented Camp sits within the North Conservancy, away from the main reserve crowds. Your first day is kept deliberately unhurried. Settle in, take in the sounds of the bush, and let the wilderness arrive at its own pace.
THE HUNT
The days that follow move at yours. A private guide and open vehicle take you through lion prides in the long grass, cheetah on the short-grass plains, and leopard sightings more reliable here than almost anywhere on the continent. Between July and October, the Great Migration brings the Mara River crossings to life in one of nature's most dramatic spectacles.
Your concierge can extend your stay, arrange a bush breakfast on the plains, or build in a Masai escarpment trek — whatever the Mara calls for.
Days 2-4
The Serengeti
AT SERENGETI
The Serengeti is the largest continuous savannah ecosystem on earth. Game drive routes shift with wildlife movement, and your guide reads the landscape with precision — following tracks, watching the behaviour of other species for signs of predator activity, positioning the vehicle for the right moment. Predator sightings are consistent throughout the year. From July through October, the Great Migration passes through — one of the most powerful wildlife spectacles on earth.
YOUR PACE. ENTIRELY
The days here can be deepened with a walking safari, a breakfast served in the bush, or an evening meal under an open sky. Some guests want every hour accounted for. Others want to sit with a drink and watch the plains change colour. Both are right.
How long you stay, and how you spend each day, is entirely your choice.
Days 4 to 7
The Ngorongoro and the Crater
At Ngorongoro
A short flight to Kilimanjaro and a road transfer brings you into Tanzania's volcanic highlands — cooler, greener, forested ridges giving way to distant crater country.
Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge sits on 50 acres of virgin Tanzanian bush, steps from the Conservation Area gate and 20 minutes from the Crater rim. Winner of Best Luxury Safari Lodge in Tanzania 2024, its 20 private log cabin suites each open onto a viewing terrace with open fireplace — inside a landscape that changes character with every hour of light.
Africa's Primal Floor
Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience in itself. The floor is home to one of Africa's densest concentrations of wildlife — lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo, zebra, wildebeest, and flamingo, all contained within a natural arena roughly 20 kilometres across.
The Crater is also one of the last reliable places in East Africa to encounter black rhinoceros in the wild. The number of nights here, the pace of each day, and any optional enhancements — a Maasai village visit, a stop at the Olduvai Gorge — are all shaped around you.
Days 7 to 12
The Zanzibar Experience
AT ZANZIBAR
After a final morning at camp, a private transfer takes you to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. The island comes into view from above as a sliver of white and green against the deep blue of the Indian Ocean. At Neptune Pwani Beach Resort and Spa, the pace changes entirely. This is where the journey exhales.
yOUR ZANZIBAR. YOUR WAY.
Zanzibar is not one experience but many. For those who want to explore — Stone Town's UNESCO-listed labyrinth of carved doors, Arabic archways, and spice markets rewards a full day of slow wandering. The island's marine world is among the finest in the Indian Ocean. For those who want to rest — the beach, the spa, and the pools are precisely designed for it.
Most guests spend between five and eight nights in Zanzibar. Your concierge will help you find the balance that fits.

Told by Those Who Lived It
HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! This was our first time in Kenya and on safari and it was very difficult to find a camp that felt luxurious and was not commercial (felt like a hotel) we wanted something that felt special and Kenyan. We found it. The staff are so special. Every interaction showed that the people care about the guests, their smiles, stories and care for us will remain in our hearts forever. We really enjoyed the game drives with Daniel and Julius, our meals with Alfred and big thank you to the chef, the impeccable quality of the rooms and the special touches like the laundry, wake up call and warmed beds from Daniel, the expert cocktails from Solomon, the hot towels upon arrival and the great booking service from Linda, Judy and Sharon, the Maasai run with Alex, Richard, Cheryl, Stella and Julius, the lion hunting with John, the telescope watching, board games, the river walk with the Maasai warrior and the hippos waking us in the morning. We feel so sad to leave and already miss you all. Thank you for making this trip so memorable for us forever. We hope to return one day. All the best and thank you. Keep doing what you are doing, you are all very special.
An Exceptional Ngorongoro Stay! We had the most amazing two day stay at Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge. From the moment we arrived it was obvious that our satisfaction was paramount. Our driver/safari guide Samuel was exceptional from the moment he picked us up from the airstrip. He was kind, knowledgeable and a very capable driver. Our safaris were so much fun, with lots of large animal sightings over the two days. Samuel was very knowledgeable about the animals and area. The food at the lodge and provided ‘picnic style’ on our drives was the nicest food we’ve experienced in Africa. The rooms are beautifully presented, and spacious with the most beautiful views over the forest. We saw elephants and a brown buck from our balcony!
Fantastic service, delicious food and practical location. We utterly enjoyed this lodge It’s practically located close to the crater. It’s gives you Our of Africa feeling, with beautifully manicured flowerbeds, grass areas and lodge surroundings. It’s overlooks the jungle that creeps from the crater and if you are lucky you can see elephants and buffalo’s while you are sipping a glass of wine on your porch.
Ngorongoro stay? Look no further! Location: excellent spot atop a hillside literally 5 mins from Ngorongoro entrance Atmosphere: very jungly and beautiful scenery, lush trees with organic garden and herbs growing. Safe with guards and staff always present Rooms: Our room was incredible! Balcony overseeing the hill side with elephants visiting below, spacious, hot hot hot water, all the amenities you need
Wonderful Luxury Lodge beautifully situated on the Mara River. We stayed at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp for four nights, and it truly exceeded every expectation. The camp is beautifully set along the Mara River, where we could watch hippos and other wildlife. We even spotted two lions right from the pool area.
Once in a lifetime experience which made it a wonderful memory we will always appreciate. From the luxurious tents to the location right on the river this place is a must do in Kenya. It is a well oiled machine! They pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi & transfer you to Wilson airport for the short flight to Masai Mara where you will be meet by your guide. The staff & amenities are which make Neptune. It has a definite luxury feel with a family warmth. You have your own butler, waiter & driver. All vegetables are grown in their own organic gardens and the food onsite is exceptional. 5 courses for lunch & dinner. We stayed 4 nights & did a safari on all 4 days saw all the big 5 it was incredible our guide was so knowledgeable as to info on the animals but also where we could find them. Last day on our way to the airstrip he spots a cheetah sitting in a tree. 🙌🙌 had a leopard walk past our jeep that I could have stroked its back. We never would have expected to see half the animals we did.
This camp is next to the river with hippos, tents are amazing, zebra bar so much fun - great Bartender Kelvin. Great spa, and lobby shared space. Exceptional food, waiter Alfred, and John (food manager), care and concern to excellence was perfect. Had no issues with mosquitoes . Listening to hippos at night was magical. Game drives totally amazing with our guide David. All of ancillary staff perfect. Had our own butler Fredrick, he was Great. Stayed in Loisaba first for 3 nights and here for 3 nights, 2 wonderfully different and amazing experiences. Booked through Kensington tours with Pankaj sen Gupta, a wonderful destination expert in Kenya.
From the moment we stepped into Neptune, we were greeted by John and Sharon. Their hospitality aswell as the rest of staff was impeccable. We really felt at home during our 2 night safari stay. It was nice to have Dickson the chef actually come out to speak with us about the food which was AMAZING! The food options were so good and presented so well. Even better our waiter Alfred was always smiling, professional and just a joy to be served by. And lastly Moses our butler was great, always on hand for anything we needed + our wake up calls were never late and even when making up our rooms, he even placed hot water bottles in the bed for us to remain warm, (which I’ve never had any accommodation do before). The grounds are wonderful, with Hippos on site which adds great viewing. Our room was nice and big, a great shower and bathroom, honestly what an incredible place, just a shame we were only there for 2 nights. The staff really do help enhance the Lodge which is wonderful.
It was indeed luxury and lovely..I went on a safari with Untamed Expeditions..and it was first rate all the way…this was-our 3rd place & it was just sublime..I haven’t one complaint…al the way down to the hot water bottles in your bed acting Dow..it fireplaces when you return from a scrumptious dinner. Naps by the pool after a 7 hour game ride was divine…there was an sos that I didn’t get to experience …but it looked very lovely…I would love to come back soon.
We stayed 2 nights in this beautiful property at the gates of the crater Ngorongoro. Everything was perfect: from the staff to the little care, to the best food of our 7-day trip in Tanzania , great massage ... and what about our perfectly arranged lodge , located on the front line with the breathtaking view on the lush slopes of the Ngorongoro where we were lucky enough to be able to observe from our terrace countless animals and especially elephants!!!
Your Safari Begins with a Single Conversation.
Each journey is built personally around your dates, your interests, and what you want to feel when it's over. Neptune takes a limited number of guests at each lodge. Not because of constraint — because the experience demands it.
