10 Days Amazing Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Meet and greet on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport with the driver and transfer to Masai land Hotel for Hot lunch (depend on your arrival time) after lunch you will have chance to walk around the city for a short time. After walking you will return to the hotel for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast we head to the Tarangire National Park for a morning game drive. The park runs along the line of the Tarangire River and is mainly made up of low-lying hills on the Great Rift Valley floor. Its natural vegetation mainly consists of Acacia woodland and giant African Baobab trees, with huge swamp areas in the south. Both the river and the swamps act like a magnet for wild animals, during Tanzania’s dry season. The Tarangire National Park is reputed to contain some of the largest elephant herds in Africa. This African national park is also home to three rare species of animals – the Greater Kudu, the Fringed-eared Oryx, as well as a few Ashy Starlings.

After breakfast, drive to Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch and afternoon game drive in this park with immense herds of herbivore, wildebeests, gazelles and Zebras followed by predators on their annual migration to permanent water holes, offering a timeless spectacle unequaled in the world.

We have another full day in this wonderful park, rising early to make the most of our time. Our guides will choose the best spotting locations for the time of year; we can spend time at the Hippo pool watching these majestic animals laze about in the cool water happily living alongside the crocodiles, watch a big pride of lions, be in the middle of the migration, sometimes surrounded by wildebeest, sometimes by zebras, which travel with the wildebeest. We journey from the wide-open plains to the kopjes: these volcanic rocky outcrops provide protection and shelter for a wide variety of animals and from the top we can look out across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti. This diverse and interesting landscape will provide us with the ultimate in game viewing, we will hopefully see all of the plain games; elephants, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, lions and it you are lucky the elusive leopard and cheetah, as well as huge amounts of interesting bird life, from the elegant secretary birds to the flightless ostrich.

Today the safari adventure turns south and continues to the Ngorongoro conservation area (world UNESCO site and was once in the 7 wonders of the world) (6 hrs., 180 km). We will descend 600m into this magnificent crater for a half-day game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard. We will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.

After breakfast at the hotel you will drive to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your flight to Zanzibar. Our driver will pick you from the airport and transport you to the hotel in Jambiani. Jambiani is one of the most remote beaches of Zanzibar, located in the southeast of the island. It is a not crowded, quiet and calm beach, with underdeveloped infrastructure. One could simply meander through the winding alleys, bustling bazaars and mosques for countless hours. There is an optional Historical Stone Town tour that will guide you through centuries of culture. This tour captures the essence of Zanzibar by visiting iconic land marks including but not limited to – the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People’s Palace), Dr Livingston’s house and the Arab Fort. We will also explore the market, mosques and Cathedrals. In the evening there are two options for dinner. You can dine at the hotel or we have something for the foodies. You can tantalize your taste buds with flavor some local cuisines or enjoy the fresh seafood at the food market, Forodhani Garden.

There will be an optional spice tour in the morning for those who can resist sleeping in and after midday we will make our way to Kendwa to explore the finest Zanzibar beaches. Kendwa’s beaches feature golden sand with shimmering water that reflects the clear skies and white foam that will tickle your toes.
