11 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Meet your safari guide in Arusha and travel towards Tarangire. Allow around 2.5 to 3 hours to the park area, depending on traffic and stops.

Enter for your first game drive. Explore river, woodland and open-country habitats, watching for elephants and other wildlife along the route.

Have lunch as arranged and continue game viewing before checking into Tarangire Safari Lodge inside the park. Settle in for dinner and your first safari night.

Lake Manyara Safari and Transfer to Karatu

Leave Tarangire after breakfast and continue to Lake Manyara National Park . Transfer time depends on your lodge departure point, park exit and road conditions.

Explore the groundwater forest and other accessible habitats with your guide. Watch for monkeys, larger mammals and birds as the vegetation changes. Tree-climbing lions and large flamingo gatherings are not guaranteed.

After the game drive, continue to Karatu Villas Lodge. Prepare your daypack and packed lunch arrangements for tomorrow's early start.

Ngorongoro Crater and Transfer to Central Serengeti

Leave early for Ngorongoro. Complete the entry procedures and descend for a morning crater game drive. Explore suitable habitats while your guide searches for wildlife across the basin.

After the booked morning visit and lunch as arranged, ascend and continue towards central Serengeti. Allow several hours for the road journey, park procedures and camp approach.

Keep the afternoon focused on reaching Serengeti Kati Kati Tented Camp before an unnecessarily late arrival. Wildlife viewing along the route depends on daylight and the day's progress.

Central Serengeti Wildlife Safari

Set out early with your guide and explore central Serengeti. Search plains, woodland and rocky outcrops, allowing time to watch the behaviour at each sighting.

If migration herds are nearby, their location can help shape the route. Otherwise, concentrate on the resident wildlife and habitats accessible from your camp.

Take a picnic lunch for a longer circuit or return to camp for a midday break. Continue wildlife viewing later in the afternoon.

Serengeti Game Drives and Photography

Spend another day exploring the same region without packing up and moving camp. Revisit an area you enjoyed or follow a different wildlife circuit.

Give your guide an idea of what interests you, from predators and birds to wider landscape photography. Keep expectations flexible and allow the wildlife to set the pace.

Return for lunch and rest if preferred, or remain out with packed meals. Arrive back at camp within the permitted driving hours.

Final Full Serengeti Day and Optional Balloon Safari

Keep your third full Serengeti day for more game viewing or an optional sunrise balloon safari. Balloon availability and launch transfers are checked against your camp location.

If you book the flight, leave before dawn and rejoin your guide after the arranged breakfast. Otherwise, begin with an early game drive.

Spend the remainder of the day exploring at your preferred pace. Return to camp for your final mainland night and prepare your luggage for the island flight.

Fly to Zanzibar and Explore Stone Town

Transfer to the booked Serengeti airstrip and fly to Zanzibar. The scheduled service may include intermediate stops or a connection, as shown in your confirmed flight arrangements.

Meet your island driver and transfer to Tembo House Hotel in Stone Town. After settling in, join your local guide for a walking tour when arrival time allows.

Explore narrow streets, carved doors and historic waterfront areas while learning about the town's trading history and daily life. The route and duration fit your arrival schedule.

Spice Tour and Transfer to Kendwa

Have breakfast and leave Stone Town for a guided spice farm visit. See how familiar spices grow and learn about their use in local cooking and island life.

Continue to Kendwa on the northwest coast and check into Zuri Zanzibar. Your room category and meal plan follow the confirmed hotel booking.

Leave the afternoon free for the resort and beach. Ask the hotel team about current swimming conditions before entering the sea.

Zanzibar Beach Day

Enjoy a full day without a scheduled departure. Have breakfast at the resort, walk along the shore or settle into a shaded spot with a book.

Swim when local guidance and sea conditions are suitable, or spend time by the pool. Extra water sports and island activities can be arranged at an additional cost.

Mnemba Reef Snorkelling Excursion

Meet your excursion team for the road and boat transfers to the Mnemba reef area. Departure time follows the tide, sea conditions and confirmed operator arrangements.

Listen to the briefing and snorkel at suitable sites with the marine team. Observe reef life without touching coral or pursuing animals.

The excursion visits the surrounding reef area. Landing on privately managed Mnemba Island is not part of the programme. Wildlife sightings and underwater visibility vary.

Return to Zuri Zanzibar and enjoy your final island evening. Confirm tomorrow's airport pickup before dinner.

Zanzibar Departure

Have breakfast and check out according to your flight and hotel arrangements. A final beach walk or swim is possible only if time allows.

Your driver will collect you for the transfer to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Allow for the journey from Kendwa, traffic and airport check-in.
