Your safari adventure begins today! Our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Zanzibar (Stone Town, Nungwi, Paje, Jambiani, etc.) and transfer you to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) for your short flight (≈1 hr) to Arusha Airport (ARK). On arrival, your professional guide meets you for a 2–2.5 hour drive to Tarangire National Park.
Enter Tarangire for your first game drive. Famous for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, Tarangire’s river, seasonal swamps and open savannah draw wildlife year-round. Keep an eye out for giraffe, zebra, impala, wildebeest, buffalo, and—if luck allows—lions and leopards. Birdlife is outstanding, with raptors and colourful residents along the river.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot (or hot lunch at a lodge, depending on your plan), then continue game viewing through the golden afternoon.
In the early evening, drive to your selected accommodation inside Tarangire or in the Karatu area for dinner and overnight—perfect positioning for tomorrow’s journey to the Serengeti.
Good to know: If you’re traveling with large suitcases, we offer secure luggage storage in Zanzibar, so you can fly with soft bags only.

After breakfast, depart via the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, crossing the scenic Malanja Depression toward Serengeti National Park. You’ll make a short stop at Naabi Hill Gate—stretch your legs with a quick walk among the Naabi Hill kopjes while your guide handles park formalities. Enjoy an early picnic lunch at the gate (or en route), then continue into the Serengeti for a full afternoon of game drives.
The Serengeti—named from the Maasai word “Siringet,” meaning “endless plains”—unfolds in vast golden savannah dotted with granite outcrops and acacia woodlands. This area is big-cat country: keep watch for lions, cheetahs, and leopards, alongside vast herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, giraffe, and abundant birdlife. Routing focuses on Central Serengeti (Seronera) for year-round wildlife, or shifts seasonally to follow the Great Migration (Dec–Mar Ndutu/Naabi; May–Jun Western Corridor; Jul–Oct North/Kogatende).
Overnight: Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp (mid-range/luxury option).
Camping option: Seronera Public Campsite (shared facilities).
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Good to know: Drive time from the Karatu/Tarangire area to Naabi Gate is typically ≈4–6 hours with scenic/photo stops. Optional visits (time permitting): Olduvai Gorge Museum or a Maasai boma.
Accommodations Options - Camping | Mid-range | Luxury
Rise early for a sunrise game drive in Central Serengeti (Seronera)—prime time for big cats on the move. Visit the hippo pools and, if you wish, the Seronera Visitor Centre for short walking trails and exhibits. Return for a hearty bush breakfast (or take a packed breakfast to maximise wildlife time), then continue game drives as you backtrack toward Naabi Hill Gate.
After a picnic lunch, exit the park at Naabi and cross back into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Enjoy a scenic drive along the highlands to the crater rim, arriving by late afternoon/early evening—perfect positioning for tomorrow’s early descent.
Overnight (mid-range): Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp or Rhino Lodge (both on/near the rim).
Camping option: Simba Public Campsite on the rim (shared facilities).
Typical travel time: Seronera → Naabi Gate ≈1–1.5 hrs (game-viewing pace), Naabi → rim lodges ≈2–3 hrs.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Optional en route (time permitting): short stop at Olduvai Gorge Museum or a Maasai boma.

After an early breakfast, descend ~600 m into the Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. Sustained by permanent water and rich grasses, the crater hosts large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and elephants, plus an unusually high density of predators—lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the occasionally sighted leopard. With luck, you may also spot the black rhino, for which the crater is renowned.
Stop at a designated picnic site near the hippo pools/Lake Magadi, the shallow alkaline lake in the southwest corner, often fringed with flamingos and bustling with other waterbirds.
By early afternoon, ascend the rim and drive back to Arusha. Depending on your schedule, choose one of the following:
Same-day flight to Zanzibar from Arusha (ARK) or Kilimanjaro (JRO) with hotel drop-off on arrival in Stone Town, Nungwi, Paje, Jambiani, Matemwe, or Kiwengwa.
Overnight in Arusha (hotel can be included on request at extra cost), with dinner at the lodge.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch (Dinner included only if you overnight in Arusha).
Accommodation: To be confirmed (Arusha overnight, on request).
Baggage tip: If you stored large suitcases with us in Zanzibar, you’ll collect them on arrival.
