The journey, at a glance

A deeper Tanzania safari.
Then Zanzibar.

This is a slower, fuller Tanzania route for the preferred green-season windows: two nights in Tarangire, two in the Ngorongoro highlands and three in the central Serengeti before the coast. It gives your private guide time to read each landscape rather than rush between them.

From Seronera, the journey continues by air to Zanzibar for four all-inclusive nights. Private snorkelling, a sunset cruise, a dolphin experience and Stone Town are included as part of the final chapter.

The complete day-by-day plan

Thirteen days, beautifully paced.

At this time of year, a great Tanzania safari is about depth rather than chasing a single wildlife event. Take time through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the central Serengeti, then let four all-inclusive Zanzibar nights finish the journey with proper ease.

Day 1

Arusha

A considered arrival

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, where your private driver meets you and transfers you to Gran Meliá Arusha. Settle in, enjoy dinner and allow the first evening to remain uncomplicated before your private journey begins.

Your team reconfirms the next morning’s collection, luggage guidance and private journey details, so the safari begins with clarity rather than a rushed start.

Days 2–3

Tarangire National Park

Two full days in elephant country

After breakfast, leave Arusha with your private guide and travel to Tarangire National Park. Game drive through baobabs, seasonal marsh and riverine woodland, with a picnic planned around the day’s wildlife activity.

Spend two nights at Elephants Lair, giving you a complete second safari day to follow the park’s elephant herds, birdlife and predators without moving camp. Three meals daily, house wines, local spirits, local beers, soft drinks, juices and water are included.

Days 4–5

Ngorongoro Highlands · Ngorongoro Crater

Highland calm, then the crater floor

After a final Tarangire morning, travel with your private guide towards the Ngorongoro highlands. Reach Lions Paw and settle in for two nights, placed close to the next day’s crater descent.

On Day 5, descend early into the Ngorongoro Crater for a private safari through grassland, forest, marsh and lake-edge habitats. Return to Lions Paw for a second evening. Three meals daily, local beers, soft drinks, juices and water are included.

Days 6–8

Central Serengeti

Three nights in the heart of the plains

Drive from the highlands into the central Serengeti, keeping the journey itself as a private game drive. Arrive at Jackal Lair Camp for three nights, with the time to explore the central plains at a more generous pace.

Across Days 7 and 8, choose the rhythm with your guide: early drives, a long day with a picnic, or a return to camp between activities. Three meals daily, house wines, local spirits, local beers, soft drinks, juices and water are included. A balloon safari may be added in the central Serengeti, subject to conditions and availability.

Day 9

Seronera · Zanzibar

From Serengeti to island time

Enjoy a final central Serengeti morning before your flight from Seronera to Zanzibar. On arrival, your private driver meets you for the transfer to Meliá Zanzibar and the four-night all-inclusive beach chapter begins.

The shift from safari to coast is designed to feel seamless: your airport timing, luggage and private transfers are all held within the same confirmed itinerary.

Three full island days, thoughtfully included

Enjoy three complete days at Meliá Zanzibar. The all-inclusive stay leaves space for the beach, pool and a genuinely unhurried pace between your private island experiences.

Snorkelling, a sunset cruise, swimming with dolphins and a Stone Town visit are included. Exact timings are carefully arranged around weather, tides and your preferred rhythm so these days retain their ease.
