Tour Plan
Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Island Holiday – 10 Days
Embark on a 10-day romantic adventure through Tanzania’s most iconic destinations. Begin in Arusha, exploring lush coffee plantations and preparing for your safari adventure. Travel to the Serengeti National Park, where guided game drives offer encounters with lions, elephants, leopards, and other African wildlife across sweeping savannahs. Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for extraordinary wildlife viewing in one of the world’s most remarkable landscapes.
A flourishing basin in the Ngorongoro Crater
Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater has been part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) since 1973. Aside from boasting a fertile floor and thus an abundance of wildlife (notably the Big 5), the crater is also the only intact caldera left in the world. Fun fact: many speculate—before Ngorongoro erupted—it would have been higher than the mighty Kilimanjaro.
Highlights
- Only intact caldera in the world
- Part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Home to the Big 5, as well as an estimated 6,000 wildebeest and a variety of other animals
- Incredible diversity of fauna and flora all year round
Home of Endless Plains and the Great Migration
Stretching itself across 1.5 million hectares of land, the Serengeti National Park is known for its impressive population of wildlife—most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by migrating south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning.
Highlights
- Where the Great Migration puts on part of its great show
- It’s big, like 1.5 million hectares big
- Offers some of the best game viewing in the country
- Home to the Big 5, as well as a mighty big lion population
A Dazzling Chain of Island Paradises
The Zanzibar Archipelago is made up of a chain of islands in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Tanzania. Centuries ago, the island was an important area for the spice trade, first with the Arab world since the eleventh century, before falling under the rule of Arab sultans who reigned over the islands for a number of years, integrating with the local Swahili.
Highlights
- The Zanzibar Archipelago offers superb beaches, warm, tranquil waters and the ultimate Indian ocean island getaway
- The different islands that are part of the archipelago offer an array of different attractions unique to each island
- Stone Town is recognised as a UNESO World Heritage Site
- Get lost in labyrinth streets, night markets, and local food vendors
