The complete day-by-day plan

Your 12 days journey.

This is the full published programme, expanded day by day from the supplied itinerary. Final flight times, exact game-drive timing and activity operation follow your confirmed travel dates and local conditions.

Day 1

Arusha

Arrival in Arusha

Be met privately at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfer to Elewana Arusha Coffee Lodge. Settle in, dine and rest; the intention is a soft landing before the safari circuit begins.

Your private arrival team confirms the transfer details against your flight, assists with luggage and keeps the first evening deliberately simple. This protects the next morning’s start and gives you time to settle into Tanzania before the route begins in earnest.

Overnight & mealsElewana Arusha Coffee Lodge · Dinner
Day 2

Arusha

Arusha to Tarangire

Drive from Arusha to Tarangire National Park for your first game drive and arrival at Tarangire Mwamba Lodge. The journey moves gradually from city to open wildlife country, with lunch arranged as a picnic or at the lodge depending on timing.

Tarangire is given enough time to feel like a destination in its own right. Game-drive decisions follow current wildlife movement, light and road conditions; the included walking or night activity, where shown in the offer, remains subject to lodge operation, park rules and final confirmation.

Overnight & mealsTarangire Mwamba Lodge · All meals included
Day 3

Tarangire

Full Tarangire safari

Spend the day in Tarangire with flexible game drives based on wildlife movement and light. One walking safari or night game drive is included during the stay, subject to lodge operation, park rules and final confirmation.

Day 4

Tarangire

Tarangire to Ngorongoro

A final Tarangire morning gives way to the cooler Ngorongoro highlands. Reach Melia Ngorongoro Lodge in the afternoon and use the rest of the day to enjoy crater-rim views and an unhurried check-in.

Overnight & mealsMelia Ngorongoro Lodge · Dinner and overnight
Day 5

Ngorongoro

Full-day Ngorongoro Crater

Descend early for a full crater safari across grassland, woodland, marsh and soda-lake landscapes. Your guide follows wildlife movement and viewing conditions, with a picnic lunch inside the crater before the return to the highlands.

An early crater descent gives the day the best balance of softer light, cooler conditions and time on the floor. Wildlife is never guaranteed, but the private guide can adjust the route between grassland, woodland, marsh and lake-edge habitats while remaining within the conservation-area rules.

Overnight & mealsMelia Ngorongoro Lodge · Breakfast, picnic lunch and dinner
Day 6

Serengeti

Into the Serengeti

Travel from Ngorongoro toward the Serengeti with game viewing en route, then arrive at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti in a Savannah Waterhole View Room. The evening is yours to settle into the lodge and the rhythm of the plains.

The Serengeti programme is private and responsive, not a fixed vehicle circuit. Your guide uses the morning briefing and current sightings to shape the route, with a picnic or a lodge break chosen around the day’s actual wildlife opportunities and your preferred pace.

Day 7

Serengeti

Full Serengeti safari

Choose a classic split-day safari or a longer drive with packed lunch, according to wildlife movement and your preferred pace. The private guide plans around the day’s strongest opportunities.

Day 8

Serengeti

Serengeti balloon safari

Rise before sunrise for the complimentary balloon experience, then return to the lodge or continue wildlife viewing. The afternoon is intentionally slower, allowing the Serengeti experience to feel complete rather than rushed.

The flight is operated under the balloon company’s safety procedures and depends on suitable weather. The exact post-flight rhythm is confirmed on the day, preserving time for the onward transfer and the included highland stay.

Day 9

Serengeti

Serengeti to Zanzibar

After breakfast, transfer to Seronera Airstrip for the flight to Zanzibar. On arrival, meet your private transfer and settle into a Red Level Romance Pavilion at Melia Zanzibar for the start of a three-night all-inclusive stay.

Flight times and luggage guidance are reconfirmed before travel. On arrival, the onward transfer remains part of the experience: your guide uses the available daylight and current wildlife activity rather than treating the transfer as time lost.

Overnight & mealsMelia Zanzibar · All-inclusive
Day 10

Arusha

Mnemba Island snorkeling

Enjoy the included Mnemba-area snorkeling experience with transfers, then return to Melia Zanzibar for a relaxed beach afternoon. Timing follows tide, sea and operator conditions.

The marine experience is arranged around tide, sea and operator conditions. The local team confirms the departure timing and may adapt the sequence of the day to keep the experience safe and enjoyable.

Overnight & mealsMelia Zanzibar · All-inclusive
Day 11

Arusha

Stone Town and sunset cruise

Explore Stone Town with time for culture, atmosphere and personal shopping, then enjoy the included sunset cruise on the most suitable evening. All transfers for the listed experiences are included.

The cultural visit and cruise are planned around local conditions and the best available timing. Personal shopping purchases are paid directly by guests; the listed transfers and included activity arrangements remain handled by the local team.

Overnight & mealsMelia Zanzibar · All-inclusive
Day 12

Zanzibar

Zanzibar departure

Have breakfast and a relaxed morning before a private transfer to Zanzibar Airport. Departure timing is coordinated around your confirmed flight.

The team reconfirms collection time against your onward flight before the final evening. Keep passports, medication and valuables with you, and let us know in advance if an airport change or additional night is required so the connection can be planned responsibly.
