Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park

At around 6:00 am (depending on your hotel’s location in Zanzibar), our driver will pick you up and transfer you to the airport for your 8:00 am flight to Arusha. Upon arrival at 9:15 am, you’ll be greeted by your driver-guide and begin a scenic 1.5-hour journey to Tarangire National Park. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about Arusha’s history and the rich traditions of the Maasai people.

Famous for its remarkable biodiversity, Tarangire National Park offers a mix of landscapes from open savannahs to seasonal swamps, all nourished by the Tarangire River that winds through the park. The park is home to vast herds of elephants, and with a bit of luck, you may spot a lion on the hunt or a leopard resting high in the acacia trees.

In the afternoon, enjoy your packed lunch within the park before continuing your game drive. As the day winds down around 4:00 pm, you’ll head back to your lodge for a relaxing evening, dinner, and an overnight stay surrounded by nature.

Game Drive Ngorongoro Crater and Flight back to Zanzibar

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact caldera and one of Africa’s natural wonders. It hosts around 30,000 large mammals, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, and rhinos, along with numerous bird species such as flamingos, eagles, and buzzards, offering excellent wildlife sightings in a short time.

The game drive concludes in the afternoon, followed by a transfer to Arusha Airport for your 4:30 pm flight back to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, your driver will transfer you to your hotel for a comfortable stay.
