Day 1

Kilimanjaro International Airport – Arusha

  • Our guide meets you on your arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfers you to your hotel in Arusha

* These activities are an additional cost

Day 2

Arusha – Tarangire

  • Enjoy an early start to the day as your guide collects you from Arusha and takes you to Tarangire National Park to begin your safari adventure
  • Situated in Tanzania’s Manyara Region, the Tarangire River is the primary source of fresh water for animals migrating into the park from surrounding areas, making wildlife sightings more likely as they stay close to the river
  • Enjoy beautiful sunny weather while watching some of Tanzania’s best wildlife, including a 300-strong herd of elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, eland and buffalo.
  • After an exciting day scouring the bush, your guides transfers you to your hotel in Tarangire in time for dinner

Day 3

Tarangire – Central Serengeti

  • It’s an early start, as we depart Tarangire and make our way to the Serengeti for a spectacular afternoon game drive

  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 4

Serengeti

  • We set out in the early morning for a full day’s game drive in search of wildlife encounters

  • Enjoy a delicious picnic and spend the entire day out exploring the rolling plains of the Serengeti National Park
  • After an action-packed day in the bush, your guide drops you back at your accommodation inside the national park, in time for a gourmet dinner

  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

* These activities are at an additional cost

Day 5

Serengeti – Ngorongoro

  • After an early breakfast, you depart with your lunch for a final morning game drive in the Serengeti
  • Few predators hunt during the heat of the day and so early morning is often the best time to observe the thrill of the chase
  • Enjoy your last few moments in the Serengeti National Park before we make the three-hour transfer to Ngorongoro Crater
  • Check-in to your accommodation in Ngorongoro and settle into your new surroundings
  • Enjoy a guided walk around the rim of the mighty Ngorongoro Crater. In addition to seeing breathtaking views of the volcanic crater and the diverse wildlife, our expert guides will also teach you about its incredible indigenous flora and fauna *
  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

  • After a day of exploring, you are transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport to board your flight to Zanzibar
  • Upon arrival into Zanzibar Airport, you are welcomed and transferred to your reserved accommodation
  • Once at the hotel, it’s time for “hakuna matata” (no worries): relax, settle in, and enjoy your beautiful surroundings
  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 7-8

Zanzibar

  • Spend your days relaxing poolside at your hotel or set off to explore the historic quarter of Stonetown – wandering through a maze of narrow streets and losing yourself in centuries of history
  • Zanzibar is steeped in rich traditions and is commonly referred to as the Spice Island as it is one of the few places in the world to produce saffron. Be sure to take a tour of one of the local spice farms here to learn about this highly sought after spice which is worth more than its weight in gold and to taste some of the delicious exotic fruit that is grown here *
  • We highly recommend taking a dolphin tour during your time here, setting out at sunset to watch as pods of dolphin leap through the waves and swim alongside your boat*
  • Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

* These activities are at an additional cost
