Tour Overview

This 10-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar holiday combines wildlife, landscapes and time by the Indian Ocean. The journey begins in northern Tanzania with Tarangire National Park, known for large elephant herds and baobab trees. From there, travel through Karatu and the Ngorongoro highlands before exploring the Ngorongoro Crater. The safari continues into Serengeti for game drives across open plains before finishing the wildlife section at Lake Manyara.
After the safari, fly to Zanzibar and slow down on the coast. Explore the historic streets of Stone Town, enjoy the island's beaches and keep a full day for your own plans. The combination of safari and beach time gives you the chance to experience two very different sides of Tanzania in one journey.
