Day 1

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, we drive to the Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals — the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, and a few Ashy Starlings.

Main Destination:
Tarangire National Park
Best Time To Visit July to November (Animals come to the Tarangire River)

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water, happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. Outcrop from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals, and from the top, we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing. You will hopefully see all of the plains game: elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, and lions. If you are lucky, the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting birdlife, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater

Today, the safari adventure turns south and continues to the Ngorongoro conservation area. You will descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard. You will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.

Day 5

Ngorongoro to Zanzibar Island

Ngorongoro to Zanzibar Island

After breakfast, you will drive to Arusha Airport for your flight to Zanzibar. Before landing, you will notice that the crystal-clear waters of the Zanzibar beaches truly exist. Our driver will collect you from the airport and transport you to the hotel in Jambiani. Jambiani is one of the most remote beaches of Zanzibar, located in the southeast of the island. It is not crowded, a quiet and calm beach, with underdeveloped infrastructure. One could simply meander through the winding alleys, bustling bazaars, and mosques for countless hours. This tour captures the essence of Zanzibar by visiting iconic landmarks, including but not limited to — the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People’s Palace), Dr Livingston’s house, and the Arab Fort. You can tantalize your taste buds with the flavor of some local cuisines or enjoy the fresh seafood at the food market, Forodhani Garden.
