A private 16-day Tanzania journey through Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Arusha National Park and Zanzibar.
Our longest safari-and-beach journey: nine days on safari from Arusha National Park to the northern Serengeti, then Zanzibar from Stone Town to Mnemba.
Your driver-guide meets you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and drives you to your lodge near Arusha. After a safari briefing, the rest of the day is yours to relax after the flight.
A half-day game drive or canoe safari in Arusha National Park, beneath Mount Meru, with giraffe, buffalo and black-and-white colobus monkeys.
A full day in Tarangire, elephant country. Large herds gather along the Tarangire River beneath giant baobab trees, alongside giraffe, zebra, buffalo and lion. Lunch is a picnic in the park.
Choose a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, below the Rift Valley wall, or a cultural walk through Mto wa Mbu village with its banana farms, markets and local crafts.
Drive up through the green Ngorongoro highlands, stopping at the crater-rim viewpoint, then down onto the open plains of the Serengeti. You game-drive en route to your camp.
A full day of morning and afternoon game drives across the Serengeti, searching for lion, cheetah and leopard among the kopjes and river woodlands. An optional sunrise balloon flight can be added.
Your guide follows the wildlife to wherever it is that month — the central plains, the western corridor, the southern calving grounds or the north — for another full day in the Serengeti.
An extra day placed where the migration is: river crossings in the north (July–October), the western corridor (May–June) or the calving plains in the south (January–March).
Descend early into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive on the crater floor, one of the best places in Africa to see black rhino, along with lion, buffalo, elephant and flamingos. Picnic lunch by the hippo pool.
Fly from Arusha or Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, swapping the bush for the Indian Ocean. You are met on arrival and taken to your hotel.
A guided walk through Stone Town’s narrow lanes, carved doors and old markets, then a visit to a spice farm to see, smell and taste cloves, cinnamon and vanilla before moving to the beach.
A short boat ride to Prison Island to meet its giant Aldabra tortoises and snorkel the reef, then an afternoon on the beach.
A full day sailing a traditional dhow in Menai Bay: snorkelling, a sandbank stop, a seafood lunch on the beach and a swim in a mangrove lagoon.
Walk in Jozani Forest to see the rare red colobus monkeys found only in Zanzibar, then explore the villages and beaches of the east coast.
Snorkel around Mnemba Atoll, relax on the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa in the north, or end the day on a sunset dhow cruise.
Breakfast and free time depending on your flight, then a transfer to Zanzibar airport for your journey home.
