Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater for the Big Five, then three nights on Zanzibar's white-sand beaches with time for snorkelling, a spice tour or Stone Town.
This trip combines wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania with a beach stay on Zanzibar. Game drives in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater give you a good chance of seeing the Big Five, before you finish on Zanzibar’s white-sand beaches with the warm Indian Ocean, local culture and history.
A professional safari guide welcomes you at Kilimanjaro International Airport and takes you to your hotel in Arusha. Rest after check-in, then join an evening briefing about the itinerary, wildlife and safety.
Drive about 2–3 hours to Tarangire for a game drive with a picnic lunch inside the park. In the late afternoon, continue to Mto wa Mbu.
A full-day game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, through groundwater forest, open plains and along the alkaline lake. Overnight in Karatu.
An early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive, with a picnic lunch near a hippo pool. Then climb back out and return to the lodge to relax.
Drive back to Arusha and fly to Zanzibar. On arrival you are taken to your beach hotel, with the rest of the day free by the ocean.
A free day for swimming and sunbathing, or optional snorkelling, a spice tour or a visit to Stone Town.
Another free day to explore more of the island, take a boat trip or simply relax.
