Explore This SafariDomestic Tanzania flights are included only on the days that explicitly show a flight, such as the transfer linked to Arusha, Central Serengeti. Airline schedules and luggage limits are reconfirmed for your dates. International flights are not included, and no additional air sector is assumed unless it appears in the final proposal.
Approximately 2 day entries involve the Serengeti ecosystem, including the specific central, northern or Grumeti sectors shown. That count includes arrival or transfer days where relevant, so the day-by-day plan is the best guide to full game-drive time. Wildlife and migration events remain naturally variable.
A Zanzibar extension can be quoted as a clearly separate addition after the final safari movement. It is not silently included in this safari-only price. We would confirm the domestic flight, coast, resort and meal plan independently so the extension does not alter the named safari accommodation sequence.
