Northern Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar

Fly overnight to Kilimanjaro.

Upon arrival on day 2, your private driver/guide and 4×4 will be waiting. You’ll then head straight to Kirurumu Manyara Lodge for 1 night on a full-board basis. A tented eco-lodge on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, it offers sweeping views across Lake Manyara. This afternoon you will head out on a game drive through acacia forests and hippo-dotted wetlands, where giraffe, buffalo and (if you’re lucky) tree-climbing lions roam.

On day 3, you will continue to Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp where you will stay for 2 nights on a full-board basis. This is a small camp tucked into acacia forest right on the crater rim and is in a prime safari location.

Spend day 4 on safari in the Ngorongoro Crater. This dramatic volcanic caldera is home to Big Five favourites, including rare black rhino and some of Tanzania’s largest lion prides.

Head into the iconic plains of the Serengeti today as you continue to spend 3 nights on a full-board basis at Ang’ata Serengeti Camp. Set in the central Seronera region, this is the sister camp to Ang’ata Ngorongoro Camp.

You’re in the heart of safari country: endless grasses and riverbanks where lion, leopard and cheetah stalk. With your private guide and vehicle, explore at your own pace—this region is excellent for resident wildlife, and if you go at the right time of year (July – October), you will have a chance to witness the Great Migration. To take in the wildlife from above, include a hot air balloon safari!

On day 7, enjoy a final breakfast in the Serengeti, before you take a light aircraft over to Zanzibar and head to Stone Town. You will be transferred to Zanzibar Palace Hotel for 1 night with breakfast included, a richly restored heritage townhouse where carved doors and Swahili antiques frame sea views. This afternoon, you will head out with a private guide, stroll the coral-stone alleyways, uncover sultans’ palaces, spice bazaars and rooftop cafés before toasting the sunset over the harbour.

This morning, you’ll be met and transferred to end your holiday on the tranquil east coast for 6 nights of laid-back luxury at Pongwe Beach Hotel with breakfast included. Hammocks sway between palm trees and the beach feels like your own at this traditional Zanzibari hotel.

You will have 5 full days to relax and explore. Kayak along the coast, snorkel coral gardens, or just sink into a sunlounger with a good book. We can arrange spice farm visits, dolphin cruises, forest walks in Jozani, and island cooking classes. Or simply relax, with nothing on the agenda but watching the tides.

On day 14, you will have a final morning to relax on the beach before you are transferred back to Zanzibar airport to connect with your flights home.
