Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
In the morning you will be collected from your lodgings in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park across gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we pass many Masai in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkeys carts. Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our safari jeep, we experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River endeavoring to encounter a multitude of creatures from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name but a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards relaxing in the trees above.
After our extensive game drive, we depart to drive to one of our mid-range partner lodges for dinner in a tasteful restaurant and a most capacious room to harbor our ease and dreams of wild cats!

Ngorongoro crater
Rise and shine! It’s an early departure for us today to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This morning's destination is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of the seven wonders of Africa, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once we have reached the crater rim, we descend the steep track into the 600 m deep caldera to see a range of animals, grasslands, birds, and a lake. The massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the “Big Five” to spotted hyenas and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we will head to your hotel in Arusha where you will have dinner and overnight.

Starting your safari from Arusha early in the morning and heading directly to Zanzibar for activities in Stone Town is a unique blend of adventure and cultural exploration. The journey begins with a scenic flight over Tanzania’s landscapes, offering a smooth transition from mainland views to the coastal beauty of Zanzibar. Upon arrival, you’ll head straight to Stone Town, the heart of Zanzibar’s rich history and culture.
In Stone Town, you’ll be immersed in the island’s multicultural heritage, where African, Arab, Indian, and European influences converge. A walking tour through the town’s narrow alleys reveals historic architecture, including intricately carved doors, and leads you to prominent sites like the Old Fort and the House of Wonders.

Zanzibar North Coast Explore & Relax
Zanzibar North Coast Explore & Relax
You will transfer to Nungwi. 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, thanks in part to the beautiful beach and stunning sunsets. The result: a place where traditional and modern knock against each other with full force. Diving, snorkeling, fishing, and other water sports are the main attraction 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 swimming is possible at any time. Other activities available include yoga, cycling, and guided tours of the village.
