Accommodation: Singita Sabora Tented Camp
Meals: Breakfast, Bush lunch, Dinner
Helicopter Safari & Second SNPGC Round
The morning that redefines safari: a two-hour helicopter flight over the Serengeti.

After landing, transfer to the course for your second round at SNPGC before checking into Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti.

Meals: Breakfast, Champagne picnic, Dinner
Central Serengeti Safari & Third Round
A sunrise game drive through the central Serengeti's Seronera Valley, where resident predators hunt year-round.

Transfer to Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Afternoon at leisure to absorb the extraordinary setting.
Accommodation: Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Crater Floor Safari & Fourth Round
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full morning of game driving on the caldera floor — black rhino, lion, elephant, and flamingos all in a single sweeping landscape.

Accommodation: Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Flight to Zanzibar — Mnemba Island
A morning flight from the Serengeti region to Zanzibar, followed by a boat transfer to andBeyond Mnemba Island — a private island with just twelve palm-thatch bandas on the beach.

Accommodation: andBeyond Mnemba Island
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Mnemba Island — Ocean Day
A full day on and around the island. Snorkel or dive the Mnemba Atoll — one of the Indian Ocean's finest marine reserves, home to green turtles, dolphins, and over 600 species of tropical fish. Kayak around the island, go fly-fishing on the flats, or simply lie in a hammock beneath the casuarina trees and listen to the ocean.
Accommodation: andBeyond Mnemba Island
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Mnemba Island — Fifth Round Beach Golf & Farewell
Your fifth and final round is unlike any other: a casual beach-course experience on the island's tidal flats as the tide retreats, revealing firm sand perfect for an improvised layout with portable flags and tees. It is pure, joyful golf stripped to its essence — barefoot, oceanside, and utterly unforgettable. A farewell dinner on the beach completes the journey: lanterns, seafood, champagne, and the sound of the Indian Ocean.
Accommodation: andBeyond Mnemba Island
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Farewell beach dinner
Departure from Zanzibar
A final morning on the island — swim, snorkel, or simply sit on the sand and absorb the last moments. Boat transfer back to Zanzibar and onward to the airport for your international departure. Twelve days, five rounds, three lodges, one helicopter, one private island, and a journey that has no equivalent anywhere in the world of golf travel.
