In Tarangire National Park, marvel at the sheer number of elephants that roam freely, while in Ngorongoro Crater, be prepared to encounter the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos – all in one place. The Serengeti, with its legendary wildebeest migration, provides an opportunity to witness one of the most spectacular wildlife shows on earth. Don’t forget Lake Manyara for its tree-climbing lions and abundant birdlife.

After the thrill of the safari, unwind on the pristine beaches of Zanzibar. Take in the turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and swaying palm trees as you relax and rejuvenate.

Our safari is designed for comfort, with luxurious accommodations and experienced guides who ensure a seamless and unforgettable journey. Immerse yourself in the beauty of Tanzania’s landscapes, the richness of its wildlife, and the warmth of its people on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport (ARK), you will be warmly welcomed by an Zepisa African Safaris representative who will transfer you to Arusha Planet Lodge for your overnight accommodation.

After breakfast, set off for Tarangire National Park, named after the Tarangire River, which sustains wildlife during the dry season. The park boasts dense vegetation, including elephant grass and acacia woodlands. Tarangire is renowned for its high density of elephants, along with predators like lions and leopards. It is home to a myriad of bird species. Journey to the Ngorongoro Highlands for an overnight stay at Farm of dream lodge.

Today, depart from the Karatu area and journey through the Ngorongoro Highlands towards the Central Serengeti. Embrace the panoramic views of the Serengeti National Park’s vast plains from the hillside location of Tanzania bush Camp, your accommodation for the next two nights. This well-positioned camp serves as an ideal base for exploring the diverse wildlife and natural wonders of the Serengeti.

Today is dedicated to immersing yourself in the wonders of the Central Serengeti. Embark on a full day game drives across the vast plains, where you’ll encounter a diverse array of wildlife against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery. Watch in awe as lions laze in the sun, herds of wildebeest migrate across the plains, and elephants roam freely. The Serengeti’s magical allure lies in its raw and untamed beauty, offering a safari experience like no other.

Leave the Serengeti after breakfast for Ngorongoro Crater, known for its high wildlife density. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the Big Five, including the endangered black rhinoceros. Enjoy a game drive with a packed lunch and overnight at Ngorongoro forest tented Camp.

Embark on a morning game drive in Lake Manyara National Park, famous for tree-climbing lions and diverse bird species. Return to Arusha for a flight to Zanzibar, where you will be transferred to Shaba boutique Hotel.

After breakfast, you will have a short guided tour of Stone Town and thereafter head straight to the northern coast of Zanzibar known as Nungwi. It has the kind of white coral sand that seems to glow even after nightfall. Nungwi’s expansive coastline is wide open for swimming and snorkelling in some of Africa’s most pristine, reef-rich waters. It’s one of the rare Zanzibari beaches untroubled by severe undulations of high and low tides, making it perfect for all-day water activities.

Deep-sea fishing near Nungwi is top-notch, with opportunities to catch kingfish, dorado, yellowfin tuna and enormous striped marlin from the Indian Ocean. There are plenty of activities on offer—walking tours, sunset cruises, diving excursions and parasailing to name a few—but all it really takes is a sunset sighting of traditional dhow boats bobbing in the sea to be captured by this enchanting African beach.

After breakfast at the Z Hotel, you will be transferred to the airport or ferry for your onward journey, marking the end of your memorable adventure.
