And Beyond

CC Africa (Now named And Beyond) is proud to be a partner with the people of Tanzania. And Beyond operate four of Africa’s most breathtakingly beautiful safari lodges in the most spectacular wildlife circuit on the continent, and one on the exclusive tropical island of Mnemba, off mystical Zanzibar:

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is perched on the edge of the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater at the eastern edge of the Serengeti in northern Tanzania. It lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which covers more than 8 000 square kilometres (3 100 square miles) of pristine African wilderness. Inspired in design by the Maasai mud-and-stick manyatta homestead), Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is without doubt one of the most architecturally spectacular safari lodges in Africa.

And Beyond Klein’s Camp is situated deep in the heart of the game-rich northern Serengeti in Tanzania – right off the beaten tourist track. Its 10 000-hectare (24 800-acre) private wildlife concession – leased from our Maasai landlords – is allotted for the exclusive use of the camp’s 20 guests, offering you the ultimate personal Tanzania safari. Klein's Camp is set on the edge of the Kuka Hills, commanding breathtaking views of the valley.

And Beyond’s Grumeti River Camp is situated in a remote valley in the western corridor of the Serengeti National Park, just 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of Lake Victoria – Africa’s largest lake. Flanked by two hillsides, this flamboyant River Camp overlooks a by water of the Grumeti River and offers a comfortable haven from which to experience the truly wild pulse of Africa.

Lake Manyara Tree Lodge is set in the heart of a mahogany forest, and is the only lodge in the diverse Lake Manyara National Park in northern Tanzania. It is the newest addition to And Beyond’s portfolio of luxury safari lodges on the northern Tanzanian safari circuit. From soaring groundwater forests and a tranquil lake, to the mountain escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park boasts an incredible wealth of habitats and diverse African wildlife.

And Beyond’s Mnemba Island Lodge is situated on an exclusive island just 4.5 kilometres (2.8 miles) off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar in the azure Indian Ocean. Surrounded by an atoll of breathtaking coral reefs, it boasts some of Africa’s most wonderful dive sites. Mnemba is renowned as one of the most romantic ocean destinations in the world, offering a privacy and rustic exclusivity unparalleled on the African coastline.

And Beyond and the Community
And Beyond is Africa’s leading ecotourism company, committed to providing world-class experiences for discerning travellers, and to ongoing investment in sustainable conservation development and community empowerment.

And Beyond own and operate more than 45 exceptional safari lodges and camps in the wilderness highspots of South, Southern and East Africa – Kruger National Park, Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, Zululand, Great Fish River, Madikwe Game Reserve, Masai Mara National Reserve, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara National Park, Okavango Delta, Namib Desert, Victoria Falls and Zanzibar. And Beyond employs 2 500 people, the majority coming from rural communities.

And Beyond also operate Walking and Specialist Safaris, and And Beyond Expeditions (luxury camping safaris), as well as customised travel services in 16 African countries (South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Mauritius, Seychelles and Madagascar), and now in India, too.

And Beyond’s pioneering ecotourism model recognises that economic development of the areas in which we operate is crucial to the maintenance of biodiversity. And Beyond also acknowledge that much of Africa’s wildlife heritage and land is influenced or owned by local communities. And Beyond’s model – successfully implemented throughout And Beyond’s operations in Africa – links international high net worth, low volume/low impact discerning guests to these wilderness areas and the resident communities who directly benefit from the resultant revenues of ecotourism and conservation.

And Beyond offer an Africa of vast, wild spaces and unparalleled sophistication, embraced by their commitment – Care of the Land, Care of the Wildlife, Care of the People – for which they have received worldwide recognition.
