Characterized by massive baobab trees, sweeping plains, and lush riverine corridors, Tarangire is famous for its impressive elephant herds, offering a wild and authentic safari experience. The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, with over 500 recorded species. Other wildlife often seen on game drives includes lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeest, and more.

- Day 3 - Depart to Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we depart for Serengeti National Park.
Arriving around midday, your safari begins right away in the area the Maasai call the "serengit," meaning the land of endless plains. The Serengeti boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles. Every year, vast herds of herbivores migrate for about 800 kilometers in search of water and food.
The park is one of Africa’s most important protected areas and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for over forty years. Its ecosystem supports more than 1.5 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, gazelles, and impalas, along with over 2,700 lions, 1,000 leopards, 500 cheetahs, and large groups of elephants, giraffes, and ostriches.
After Lunch and an extensive game drive, we head for our luxury partner lodges for dinner and overnight.
Main Destination: Serengeti National Park
Accommodation: Tukaone Serengeti Camp
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included
- Day 4 - Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, we will head out for a full-day game drive in Serengeti National Park. The Seronera Valley is famous for its wildlife year-round. You can often see carnivores like hyenas, lions, leopards, and cheetahs on the park’s rocky outcrops, where they watch for prey on the plains. The area is also home to many animals, including buffalo, giraffes, hippopotamuses, impalas, topis, warthogs, and zebras. In the evening, we will have dinner and spend the night at our chosen tented camp.
Main Destination: Serengeti National Park
Accommodation: Tukaone Serengeti Camp
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included
- Day 5 - Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, you’ll head out to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will enjoy an en route game drive as we continue towards the Ngorongoro Crater.
Starting at about 2,286 meters above sea level, you’ll descend roughly 610 meters to reach the crater floor, which sits at around 1,600 meters. This huge caldera, once an active volcano, now covers about 304 square kilometers and spans nearly 19 kilometers.
Ngorongoro Crater is often called one of the world’s wonders. As Professor Bernard Grzimek wrote, "There is nothing to compare it with; it is one of the most extraordinary wonders of the world."
More than 30,000 animals live here year-round. This is one of the few places in Africa where you might see all of the "Big Five" together, as well as ostriches, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, flamingos, and zebras. Ngorongoro Crater is also one of the best places in the world to spot the endangered black rhino in the wild. The only animal you won’t find here is the giraffe.
After a full day of spotting wildlife, you’ll return to your lodge for a relaxing dinner and a restful night.
Main Destination: Ngorongoro Crater
Accommodation: Tukaone Serengeti Camp
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included
- Day 6 - Lake Manyara National Park to Zanzibar
After breakfast in the morning, we depart for Lake Manyara National Park. This remarkable park is nestled between the dramatic escarpment of the Great Rift Valley and the sparkling soda lake that gives the park its name.
Though relatively small, Lake Manyara National Park boasts an impressive diversity of landscapes, from lush groundwater forests to open acacia woodlands. Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare and captivating sight, as well as large troops of baboons, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and an astonishing variety of birdlife. Flocks of flamingos periodically blanket the lakeshore in soft pink hues, adding to the park’s enchanting atmosphere.
After enjoying a picnic lunch and an extensive game drive, we depart for Arusha airport, arriving in time for your scheduled flight to Zanzibar.
Upon arrival in Zanzibar, you will be welcomed by our representative, who will transfer you to your accommodation in Nungwi to check in and spend the night by the ocean
Main Destination: Zanzibar
Accommodation: Z Hotel
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast, Lunch Included
- Day 7-10 - Zanzibar - Nungwi Beach
Even though Nungwi is lively, it still feels private and peaceful. Its long white-sand beach is great for swimming and snorkeling in some of Africa’s cleanest, coral-filled waters. Because the tides do not change much here, Nungwi is one of the few beaches on Zanzibar where you can enjoy the ocean all day, making it perfect for relaxing by the sea.
For adventure seekers, deep-sea fishing here is excellent, with the chance to catch kingfish, dorado, yellowfin tuna, and big striped marlin from the Indian Ocean. There are many activities, such as guided walks, sunset boat rides, diving trips, and parasailing. Still, sometimes the best memories come from simple moments, like watching the sun set as traditional wooden boats float across the shining sea, showing the special beauty of this African coast.
Main Destination: Zanzibar
Accommodation: Z Hotel
Meals & Drinks: Breakfast Included

I didn’t know what to expect since I was traveling with young children; we left everything to our consultant, Justice, who recommended the best route for us and the best accommodations where the kids enjoyed themselves too. Our guide Fred was exceptional; he made the trip easier. He was well informed and knew a lot about the animals, the location, and the culture as well. We couldn’t ask for a better trip than this. Would definitely recommend them; if you can ask for Fred to be your guide, you will not regret it.
