10-Days Tanzania's Greatest Wildlife & Beach Escape

Welcome to Tanzania! You'll be greeted at Arusha Airport and transferred to your comfortable lodge. Meet your professional guide and fellow travelers over an orientation briefing about the exciting days ahead. Spend the afternoon relaxing and preparing for your safari adventure, with time to explore Arusha town if desired.

Drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its massive elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Enjoy your first game drive this afternoon, spotting zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and numerous bird species. The park's river system attracts diverse wildlife, especially during dry seasons. You'll stay in a comfortable lodge with stunning park views.

Spend another full day exploring Tarangire's hidden corners. Early morning and late afternoon game drives maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. Your experienced guide will track animals and share fascinating insights about the ecosystem, predator-prey relationships, and conservation efforts. The park's diversity ensures each drive offers new discoveries.

Travel to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, one of Africa's greatest wildlife sanctuaries. The drive offers scenic views of Tanzania's changing landscapes. Arrive and settle into your lodge, then enjoy an afternoon game drive to begin your Serengeti experience. The park's name means 'the place where the land runs on forever'—and you'll understand why.

Dedicate a full day to exploring Serengeti's vast plains. Early morning and late afternoon game drives provide the best wildlife viewing as animals are most active during cooler hours. Your guide will search for the Big Five and track predators on hunts. The Serengeti's ecosystem supports over 1.5 million large animals—you'll witness this abundance firsthand.

Another spectacular day in the Serengeti, with continued opportunities to witness the Great Migration (seasonal). Game drives focus on river crossings, predator interactions, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebras. Your guide's expertise reveals the intricate relationships within this pristine ecosystem. Each moment offers unforgettable safari memories and incredible photography opportunities.

Travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, often called the 'Eighth Wonder of the World.' This UNESCO World Heritage Site features a collapsed volcano with a 600-meter-deep crater containing a complete ecosystem. Game drives within the crater reveal lions, rhinos, buffalo, and thousands of other animals in this natural amphitheater. The crater's biodiversity rivals any reserve in Africa.

Fly from the Serengeti to Zanzibar, Tanzania's tropical paradise. Arrive and transfer to your beachfront accommodation, where you can unwind after days of safari. Spend the afternoon relaxing on pristine sandy beaches with turquoise waters. The evening is yours to explore nearby restaurants or enjoy the ocean breeze—a perfect transition from wildlife adventure to coastal tranquility.

Explore historic Stone Town, Zanzibar's cultural heart and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander through narrow winding streets, visit ancient palaces, historic mosques, and traditional markets filled with spices and local crafts. Learn about Zanzibar's fascinating history as a major spice and slave trading hub. The afternoon is free for beach time or additional exploration. This day offers cultural contrast to your safari experience.
