Flight from Zanzibar to Arusha Airport - Transfer to Tarangire – The Adventure Begins

Early in the morning, at 6:00 am (pick-up time depends on your hotel's location in Zanzibar), our driver will take you to the airport for an 8:00 am flight from Zanzibar to Arusha. Upon arrival at 9:15 am, our driver-guide will drive you to Tarangire National Park, about 1.5 hours from Arusha, while sharing insights about the history and culture of Arusha and the Maasai people.

Tarangire National Park is renowned for its biodiversity, featuring elephant herds and a diverse range of landscapes, from seasonal swamps to savannahs, with the Tarangire River winding its way through the parklands. You will have the experience of seeing a lion stalking its prey or leopards watching whilst relaxing in the trees above.

Game drive in Serengeti National Park then transfer to accommodation close to Ngorongoro gate

Once again, we will enjoy an early breakfast before setting off on our game drive at around 6:30 AM, spending 6 to 7 hours exploring this incredible park. The Serengeti is home to abundant wildlife, including impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo. However, it is most renowned for its great migrating herds: 250,000 zebra, 1.5 million wildebeest, and 500,000 antelope. The animals' trek is determined by the rainfall and varies each year. Besides the migrating herds, we may encounter predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions.

In the afternoon, you will have a transfer and game drive out of the Serengeti to accommodation close to Ngorongoro gate, where you will spend the night.

Game drive at Ngorongoro Crater - Drive back to Arusha Airport for flight back to Zanzibar

Rise and shine with a delicious breakfast at 7:00 am, as today marks the end of your safari. You will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive until the afternoon.

The main attraction of Ngorongoro is its deep, volcanic crater, which is the world's largest unflooded and unbroken caldera. It's about 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covers 300 square kilometers—an awe-inspiring natural wonder. You'll explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, famous for its black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and other waterbirds.

Later in the afternoon, after lunch, which will be served at the picnic site inside the park, you will drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar at 05:00 pm. Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport (06:15 pm), our driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel in Zanzibar.
