Tarangire National Park
In the morning, our safari guide will collect you from your lodgings in Arusha. We set out for Tarangire on a good tarmac road across gently rolling Maasai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along, we pass many Maasai people in colorful dresses, walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts.
Tarangire is well known for its large elephant herds and is host to many other creatures. From the open roof of our state-of-the-art safari Jeep, we'll experience seasonal swamps, savannahs, and the life-giving Tarangire River. Endeavor to encounter many creatures, from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. We may glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards watching and relaxing in the trees above. After an extensive game drive and experiencing the various sights and sounds of the wilderness, we will drive to your accommodation for dinner and your overnight stay.

Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you can see the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling to the Serengeti National Park. You will reach the park by midday.

Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
After our scrumptious breakfast, we will depart from Serengeti and head to Ngorongoro Crater. We may spot the "Big Five" - lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard - before embarking on our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of Africa. Formed millions of years ago, it is 600 meters deep and covers roughly 260 square kilometers. Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000 ungulates, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania. We will arrive at the crater rim before lunch.
Descending into the crater, we will view wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, elephant, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a bit of luck, we may catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass. After lunch and an entire afternoon inside the crater, we'll head to our lodgings for delightful dining and our night of rest amid the plains and her multitudinous animal life.

Lake Manyara to Zanzibar
Lake Manyara to Zanzibar
After breakfast, we will drive to our final destination on this epic safari, Lake Manyara National Park. This relatively small but diverse park, 120 kilometers west of Arusha, is named for the shallow salt lake that covers a large park area. The park floods and dries with the seasons and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park, we will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees.
The park is known for its diverse landscapes, open grassy plains, primate-filled woodlands, and baobab-dotted cliffs. After lunch, we will return to Arusha, arriving late afternoon in Zanzibar (Stone Town).

Zanzibar
Zanzibar
This large village at Zanzibar Island's northernmost tip was once best known as a dhow-building center. Today, it's a major tourist destination, partly thanks to the beautiful beach and stunning sunsets. Diving, snorkeling, fishing, and other watersports are the main attractions here. From Nungwi, frequented dive sites are mainly down the east coast or to Mnemba Island and reefs near Tumbatu Island. For swimmers, Nungwi's local geography and tidal pattern mean that swimming is possible anytime. Other activities available include yoga, cycling, and guided tours of the village.
