10-Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Your adventure begins upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your safari guide will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel in Arusha.

Arusha is the gateway to Tanzania’s northern safari circuit and offers a comfortable starting point for your journey. After check-in, you can relax at the hotel, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and prepare for the exciting safari days ahead.

After breakfast, depart Arusha and travel to Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania’s most scenic wildlife areas.

Tarangire is famous for its towering baobab trees and large elephant population. During your game drive, you may encounter elephants walking across the plains, giraffes browsing acacia trees, and zebras grazing peacefully in the savannah.

The Tarangire River attracts wildlife throughout the year, making it an excellent location for observing animals gathering to drink.

Today you will travel toward the world-famous Serengeti National Park, passing through the scenic Ngorongoro highlands along the way.

As you approach the Serengeti, the landscape gradually opens into vast grassland plains stretching to the horizon. Upon arrival, you will begin your first Serengeti game drive, searching for wildlife across this incredible ecosystem.

Today you will enjoy a full day exploring the extraordinary landscapes of Serengeti National Park.

The Serengeti ecosystem supports one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. During your game drives, you may encounter lions resting in the grasslands, cheetahs scanning the plains, and large herds of grazing animals moving across the savannah.

Every moment in the Serengeti offers a new wildlife encounter and unforgettable safari experience.

After breakfast, enjoy a half-day game drive in Serengeti, giving you another opportunity to experience the park’s incredible wildlife.

Later in the day, depart the Serengeti and travel toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying scenic views across the highlands.

After breakfast, descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife including lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, hippos, and the rare black rhino.

After your safari, return to Arusha and catch your flight to Zanzibar Island, where the next part of your journey begins.

Begin your island experience with a guided Stone Town tour, one of the most historic and culturally rich places in East Africa.

Walking through the narrow streets of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, you will discover the island’s fascinating history shaped by African, Arab, and European influences. The tour includes visits to important landmarks such as the Old Fort, the House of Wonders, the Sultan’s Palace, and the famous Zanzibar doors carved with intricate designs.

After exploring Stone Town, you will travel to your beach resort along Zanzibar’s beautiful coastline, where the rest of your stay will be spent relaxing beside the Indian Ocean.

Today is dedicated to enjoying the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar Island. Spend the day relaxing by the ocean, swimming in the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, or simply unwinding at your beach resort.

Zanzibar’s coastline offers a peaceful tropical setting with soft white sand and palm-lined beaches, making it the perfect place to relax after your wildlife safari in Tanzania.

For travelers who wish to explore more of the island, a variety of optional Zanzibar excursions and activities are available, including snorkeling trips, spice farm tours, and cultural experiences. (You can explore these optional activities on our Zanzibar excursions page.)
