Embark on an extensive 12-day journey through Tanzania's most iconic wildlife destinations followed by relaxing beach time in Zanzibar. This comprehensive itinerary offers deep immersion in Tarangire's elephant herds, Ngorongoro's crater wonders, and Serengeti's endless plains before unwinding on Zanzibar's pristine shores.
Experience extended game viewing in each park, including two full days in Tarangire and three days exploring the vast Serengeti ecosystems. This carefully paced safari allows for thorough wildlife observation and photography opportunities, culminating in three relaxing days on Zanzibar's beautiful beaches.
Arrival at JRO TBA, transfer to your accommodation for dinner and overnight stay, pre-safari briefing with your guide.
Now it's time for the safari! After an early breakfast, get ready and transfer to Tarangire (approximately 2-hour drive). After checking in for the safari, enter the national park for a game drive. This park is famous for its huge elephant herds, its true sense of wilderness, and its backdrop of baobab trees. Continue to your lodge/camp in the heart of the national park, surrounded by the historical elephant migration routes of the area. Enjoy a sunset and a campfire before dinner.
Another day in Tarangire: explore the savannah and the Silalei Swamp to see a multitude of elephants grazing on the succulent grass. Around the swamp, there is also a chance of spotting predators, so be careful! Return to the camp to shower off the safari dust and then enjoy a sundowner and a private dinner under the stars.
Today, after leaving the lodge or camp, we will head to Lake Manyara in the Great Rift Valley. We will enter and do a game drive in Lake Manyara National Park. Famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions, it also has a large elephant population, rich birdlife in the forests, and thousands of flamingos on the soda lake. In the late afternoon, we will ascend to the crater highlands for overnight.
Early in the morning, transfer to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This area was developed for the Maasai and wildlife to live on traditional lands without harm. Descend to the floor of the crater, a collapsed volcano and a World Heritage Site, for a game drive from the base across open plains, swampy areas, and acacia woodlands. Return to the crater highlands for dinner and overnight.
Drive to the Serengeti! Lunch on the way at Olduvai Gorge and a view of the archaeological sites (and museum visit) where early human tools and fossils have been found. In the afternoon, game drive on the rolling grasslands. The Serengeti, intersected by wooded river valleys, is home to millions of large African mammals, making it one of the most famous wildlife destinations in the world. Overnight at Nasikia, our own private camp in the heart of the Serengeti (beds, en-suite bathrooms, and showers).
We will enjoy exploring the endless plains. The habitats are natural, and we can do game drives with a picnic lunch to explore further. There are resident cats and herd animals that we can observe.
