Itinerary

Get ready for an unforgettable safari! Your adventure starts with an early morning pick-up from your Zanzibar hotel. A short flight will take you to Arusha, where your guide will meet you and drive you to Tarangire National Park. Known for its elephants and ancient baobab trees, Tarangire offers stunning wildlife views. In an open-roof vehicle, you'll spot giraffes, zebras, lions, and more around seasonal swamps and the Tarangire River. After a thrilling day, relax with dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge.

After an early breakfast at the lodge, you'll depart for Ngorongoro Crater. This stunning location is home to diverse East African wildlife, and with luck, you may spot the rare black rhinos. The crater spans 20 kilometers in diameter, so plan for a 6-hour exploration. Enjoy lunch at the picturesque Ngoitoktok picnic site, overlooking Hippo Lake. Following lunch, take an afternoon game drive before returning to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, you'll head to Lake Manyara National Park, where you'll encounter a variety of animals such as birds, baboons, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, and elephants. With luck, you might even spot lions lounging in trees. The park is renowned for its diverse landscapes, from grassy plains and monkey-filled forests to cliffs adorned with baobab trees. After the thrilling safari, you'll drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar, marking the end of your adventure.
