Day 2: Tarangire

Your Tanzania safari starts with the drive to Tarangire, the third largest national park in northern Tanzania and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them. Animals concentrate along the Tarangire River, which provides the only permanent water supply in the area. There is a great diversity of wildlife including lion, leopard, cheetah and up to six thousand elephant.

Day 3: Lake Manyara

After breakfast your safari in Tanzania continues and we depart for Lake Manyara. Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is recognized for its incredible beauty. You can see many game animals such as buffalo, elephant, giraffe, Impala, hippo and others.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, journey to the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most spectacular natural wonders. Descend into the crater for a game drive unlike any other. With an incredible concentration of wildlife, including the elusive black rhino, the crater offers an unforgettable finale to your safari. Later, ascend to your lodge perched on the crater rim, offering sweeping views and luxurious comfort.

Day 5: Journey to the Legendary Serengeti

After breakfast, head toward the Serengeti National Park, one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world and home to the Great Migration. Arrive in time for an exciting afternoon game drive across the seemingly endless plains, where big cats, grazing herds, and golden sunsets await.

Day 6: Full-Day Safari in the Serengeti

Spend a full day immersed in the magic of the Serengeti. From sweeping savannahs to rocky outcrops and riverbanks, each landscape offers unique wildlife encounters. Whether it's a lion lounging in the shade or a cheetah on the hunt, every moment promises wonder.

Day 7- Zanizibar
In the morning we bring you to the Seronera airstrip, for your direct flight from Serengeti to Zanzibar (short stopover in Arusha).

Day 8 - 13: Zanzibar Beach Bliss

Stroll through the spice-scented streets of historic Stone Town, sail turquoise waters, and let the rhythm of the island wash over you. Whether you’re a nature lover, a culture seeker, or simply in search of an unforgettable escape this journey offers the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and discovery.
