Itinerary

The itinerary below is designed to give you an overview of the route. Get in touch with our team for a full travel itinerary, or to create a tailor-made trip. 

Day 1: The Adventure Begins!

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport, you will receive a VIP Meet and Greet before being transferred to your hotel in Arusha. Here you can rest up after your international flight and meet your guides who will talk you through the plan for the adventure to come.

Depending on your international flight arrival time, you could head straight to the Ngorongoro on arrival. Alternatively, there are some wonderful local activities around Arusha and the Kilimanjaro area if you want to take the day to explore. 

Overnight at The African Tulip


Days 2-3: Ngorongoro Crater 

The next morning, begin your journey through northern Tanzania as you visit the Masai Boma at Mto Wa Mbu village and market, stopping for a local lunch and a village walk. Alternatively, game drive through Lake Manyara National Park before continuing to Karatu (45 minutes from the crater). 

The next day you have a full day on safari in the Ngorongoro Crater. What once was a fiery, lava strewn, inhospitable area is now home to 25,000 large animals, including lion, black rhino, elephant, and giraffes. After a day on safari in the crater, transfer back to your lodge for sundowners before dinner. 

Overnight at Acacia Farm Lodge


Days 4-6: Serengeti National Park

Next, jump back in the jeep and head west towards the vast Serengeti National Park. Game drive through the park towards your camp/lodge. 

Note: to track the herds of the Great Migration, where you stay in the Serengeti will depend on your travel dates. This itinerary includes Northern Serengeti to maximise your experience of the migration and - with a bit of luck - see a river crossing! If you're travelling outside of July - October, you might want to be in Central or Southern Serengeti. Our team can help you understand which option is right for you.

Spend the next 3 nights in the Serengeti, heading out on morning and afternoon game drives. A wonderful experience to add on to your time in the Serengeti is a hot air balloon safari. Get in touch with our team to find out more. 

Overnight at Kaskaz Mara Camp


Day 7 to 11: Zanzibar

After a final breakfast overlooking the savannah, transfer to the airstrip to connect with a light air flight to Zanzibar. You will be met at the airport and transferred to your beachfront hotel. Spend the next 4 nights in Zanzibar, spending your days relaxing on the beautiful beaches (lots of optional activities available here!). 

Overnight at Tulia Zanzibar


Day 11: Return Home   

As you adventure comes to an end, transfer to the airport to connect with your international flight home.

Day rooms can be arranged depending on your international flight times
