Tanzania safari landscape relevant to the private route

From Arusha Safari Country to Zanzibar

The most opulent journey available. Combines the architectural marvel of the Four Seasons Serengeti with a lavish standalone bungalow in Zanzibar. From Gran Meliá Arusha, the route develops through Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Kendwa and uses Tarangire Kuro Treetops Lodge as an important early position before reaching Zuri Zanzibar Hotel & Resort. In practical terms, 1 route days touch the Serengeti ecosystem; a domestic flight shortens one of the longer connections; the Ngorongoro Crater has its own dedicated stage. The journey remains private for your party, making it easier to balance field time, meals and rest without.

Read the seasonal rows for 13-Day Four Seasons & Zuri Oasis against both Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar and Kendwa and the final stay at Zuri Zanzibar Hotel & Resort. A lower mainland season does not automatically describe coastal conditions. Safari properties, flight space and the Zanzibar room basis must all be available for the same dates. The final quotation keeps the same season and party-size basis visible. The full day plan remains the clearest way to judge.
