Itinerary Details
Day 1 : Into Tarangire’s Wild Heart – Elephants, Baobabs & Golden Plains
Your adventure begins at 7:30am with a warm welcome from your guide, chef, and fellow travelers before driving toward Tarangire National Park. As the landscape opens into vast savannahs scattered with ancient baobab trees, the first hint of Tanzania’s wilderness sets your pulse racing.
Inside the park, herds of elephants wander between sunlit grasses, predators linger beneath acacia shade, and zebra and giraffe roam freely. A picnic lunch by the Tarangire River adds a touch of magic, monkeys chatter in the branches, the water glistens, and the sounds of the bush surround you.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 2 : Lake Eyasi Secrets – Life With the Hadzabe Tribe
After breakfast, journey to the atmospheric shores of Lake Eyasi, a place where time feels beautifully untouched. Spend the morning with the Hadzabe Bushmen, Tanzania’s last hunter-gatherer tribe. Their warm smiles, rhythmic language clicks, and genuine way of life allow you a rare glimpse into centuries-old traditions.
Learn how they track wildlife, craft arrows, and live fully in harmony with nature. A peaceful lakeside lunch completes your cultural immersion before heading back to your lodge as the sun drapes the lake in soft orange tones.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 3 : Ngorongoro Crater Majesty – Encounters With the Big Five
Before the sun lifts over the rim, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater alive with wildlife. Mist drifts across the grasslands as lions stretch after a night’s hunt and massive buffalo graze nearby. The possibility of spotting the rare black rhino adds a quiet thrill to the morning.
After an unforgettable game drive, the landscape gradually shifts as you continue toward the Serengeti. Animals wander freely between the two ecosystems, and sightings often begin long before you enter the park’s gates.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 4 : Serengeti Wonders – A Day Filled With Drama & Untamed Beauty
Dawn washes the Serengeti in soft gold as you set out for a full day of exploration. Every corner of the plains tells its own story, cheetahs poised for a chase, lions resting after a successful hunt, and endless herds flowing across the grasslands.
Whether you choose a full-day drive or split sessions, the Serengeti’s raw energy surrounds you. Return to camp as stars begin to scatter across the sky, accompanied by the distant roars and night calls that remind you you’re deep in the wild.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 5 : Serengeti to Zanzibar – From Untamed Plains to Turquoise Shores
After breakfast, enjoy wildlife sightings on your way to Seronera Airstrip. Your flight to Zanzibar feels like a gentle transition from the dramatic wilderness to the calm sweep of the Indian Ocean.
On arrival, settle into your beachfront hotel, where swaying palms, soft sea breezes, and warm island hospitality welcome you. The evening is yours to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy the gentle rhythm of coastal life.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 6: Zanzibar Bliss – Blue Waters, Coral Gardens & Island Charm
Wake to the scent of the ocean and spend the day discovering the treasures of Zanzibar. Wander along powdery beaches, swim in warm turquoise waters, or opt for snorkeling, diving, or a traditional dhow sailing trip. Beneath the surface, vibrant coral gardens and colorful fish glide through crystal clarity.
As the sun dips into the sea, enjoy a fresh seafood dinner by the shore, an unforgettable blend of taste, atmosphere, and natural beauty.
Accommodation Option: Budget, Mid-Range, and Luxury
Day 7: Farewell Zanzibar – Last Moments in Paradise
