Zanzibar to Arusha Tarangire Park

Zanzibar to Arusha Tarangire Park

Your journey begins with a scenic morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, where your safari guide will be waiting to welcome you. From there, drive to Tarangire National Park, a hidden gem known for its vast elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and golden savannahs.

As you enter the park, the landscape transforms into a wildlife haven, with zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes roaming freely. Keep your camera ready for encounters with lions lazing in the shade, elusive leopards in the trees, and cheetahs scanning the plains. Tarangire is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 500 bird species.

After an exhilarating game drive, head to Marera Valley Lodge, a charming retreat nestled in the lush greenery of Karatu. Enjoy a delicious dinner and relax under the African night sky.

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Wake up early for a hearty breakfast before heading to the legendary Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most spectacular natural wonders of Africa. Descending into the crater feels like stepping into a lost world, where wildlife thrives in a stunning amphitheater of rolling grasslands and shimmering lakes.

Spend the day exploring this unique ecosystem, where lions patrol the golden plains, hippos wallow in crystal-clear pools, and endangered black rhinos graze in the distance. Enjoy a picnic lunch near a hippo pool, soaking in the views of this incredible wildlife sanctuary.

In the afternoon, drive towards the remote and rugged landscapes of Lake Eyasi, an off-the-beaten-path destination known for its rich cultural heritage. Arrive at Lake Eyasi Safari Lodge, where you’ll unwind with a warm meal and prepare for an extraordinary cultural experience the next morning.

Day 3

Hadzabe tribe experience Return to Zanzibar

Hadzabe tribe experience Return to Zanzibar

Rise before dawn to meet the Hadzabe tribe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer communities in Africa. Unlike most tribes, the Hadzabe still live as their ancestors did thousands of years ago—hunting with bows and arrows, foraging for wild fruits, and speaking an ancient click language.

Join them on a real hunting expedition, where you’ll witness their remarkable survival skills, learn about their traditions, and experience a way of life that has remained unchanged for generations. This authentic encounter offers a rare glimpse into a vanishing culture, making it one of the most unique experiences in Tanzania.

After this unforgettable cultural immersion, return to Arusha for your afternoon flight back to Zanzibar, carrying with you incredible memories of Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and ancient traditions.

This short but immersive safari is perfect for travelers seeking adventure, wildlife, and deep cultural connections—all in just three unforgettable days.
