Our complete safari and beach holiday – 13 Days
Our safari gives you a great opportunity to visit some of the Northern National Parks. We will especially spend a great amount of time in the famous Serengeti. But the safari will start in the Tarangire National Park and we will finish our safari in the Ngorongoro conservation.
After a wonderful safari, we will end this holiday on the exotic island of Zanzibar to relax on the beach.
Day 1
We pick you up from Kilimanjaro Airport and bring you to your hotel, Masailand Safari lodge. You are welcomed there with a drink and a short briefing. You will have the rest of the day to yourselves. You can relax at the swimming pool or enjoy a sightseeing tour in Arusha.
Day 2
Our tour guide will pick you up from your hotel in Arusha. After a pleasant drive of 2.5 hours, we will arrive at the gates of Tarangire National Park. Tarangire is famous for its large number of elephants and majestic Baobab trees. After your first impression of this African National Park, we will go to our Fanaka lodges where a delicious dinner awaits you.
Day 3
After breakfast we will start our game drive that takes us from Mto wa Mbu to Lake Manyara National Park. This park gives you the opportunity to spot more than 300 kind of birds, including thousands of flamingos. You can observe and enjoy the diversity of flora and fauna while sitting in our comfortable cars. In the late afternoon we will head to the Fanaka lodge for dinner and your overnight stay. You can take a dive in the swimming pool while you are waiting for dinner.
Day 4
After finishing a sturdy breakfast, we head out towards the Serengeti National Park. You will have an afternoon game drive on the never-ending plains of the Serengeti. In the late afternoon we will head out to our accommodation Kati Kati where we will have dinner.
Day 5
We will enjoy a full-day game drive on the plains of the Serengeti during this day. Do not forget your camera in order to take all those pictures of the beautiful plains and the large number of wild animals roaming the surroundings. The most fascinating sight might just be seeing the migration of wildebeest from Tanzania to Kenya in search of fresh grass following the rain season. In the afternoon we will be heading to the Ngorongoro reservation. We will visit a Masai village on our way there. Here we can see how Masai people live and experience and learn about their traditions. We all know them by their colorful clothing and their beaded jewelry. We might also be able to see their traditional jumping dance. After that we will go to the Rhino tented lodges for dinner and a well-deserved rest.
Day 6
We will be heading to the amazing Ngorongoro crater after breakfast. The steep path leads us down into the 610-meter-deep crater. The wildlife in the crater is amazing. With a little luck you will be able to see the Big Five; elephants, buffalos, leopards, lions and rhinos. Next to the big Five, you might be able to spot hyenas, jackals, flamingos and the yawning hippos. The presence of all these animals makes this crater unique and beautiful. After a morning of watching these beautiful animals and a picnic lunch close to the hippo pond, we will be heading back to Arusha where we arrive just before dinner at the Masailand safari lodge.
Day 7
We take you to Kilimanjaro Airport or Arusha Airport where you will board your flight to Zanzibar. Our driver in Zanzibar will pick you up and bring you to hotel Al Johari where our agent Benson will welcome you. In the afternoon you can discover Stone Town. Walk through the narrow streets in the evening and visit the Forodhani food market.
Day 8 Enjoy your breakfast on the balcony of your hotel. It provides you with a nice view of the city and the sea. During this day you can just relax or go on some excursions.

Our agent Benson will be happy to help you with booking these excursions.
