Itinerary

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you'll be greeted by our representative. Transfer to your hotel in Arusha for an overnight stay. Take time to rest or explore the town depending on your arrival time.

After breakfast, take a short domestic flight from Arusha to the central Serengeti. Upon arrival, enjoy a scenic drive to your safari lodge or tented camp. In the afternoon, embark on your first exciting game drive across the vast savannah.

Spend the day tracking wildlife in the Serengeti National Park. With your experienced guide, follow the rhythms of nature and search for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and—if you're lucky—the elusive leopard or cheetah. Picnic lunch in the bush.

After breakfast and a morning game drive, depart for Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Visit Olduvai Gorge along the way—an archaeological site famous for early human fossils. Reach the crater rim by evening and enjoy stunning sunset views.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife in a unique volcanic caldera. Enjoy a half-day game drive and picnic lunch. Later, transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, transfer to your beach resort.

Spend the day enjoying the beautiful Indian Ocean coastline. Swim in the turquoise waters, walk along the soft white sands, or simply relax at your resort. Optional water sports or spa treatments are available.

Travel to historic Stone Town and take a guided tour through the narrow streets, learning about Zanzibar’s Swahili, Arab, and colonial heritage. Visit a nearby spice farm to see, taste, and smell the spices that made the island famous.

Take a boat ride to Prison Island, home to giant tortoises. Enjoy snorkeling in the clear blue waters around the island and see vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish. Return to your resort in the afternoon for relaxation.

A full free day to enjoy as you please — whether it’s lounging at the beach, enjoying cocktails by the pool, booking a dhow sunset cruise, or shopping for souvenirs in Stone Town.
