From Arusha Safari Country to Zanzibar

Our top-tier private journey designed for complete seclusion, shifting between hidden A&K Sanctuary camps and an ultra-private beach villa. From Gran Meliá Arusha, the route develops through Arusha, Tarangire, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Kendwa and Zanzibar and uses Swala Camp as an important early position before reaching Zuri Zanzibar Hotel. In practical terms, 2 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 changing the named overnight plan.
