15-Day Tanzania Wildlife Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Program of the Day: When you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be greeted by your driverguide or our representative. They will then take you to your accommodation in Arusha for an overnight stay. You can also take a complimentary city tour of Arusha with our guide if you have some time to spare. This is where all of your planning becomes a reality: your safari starts now. Tanzania is such a wonderful country when it comes to wildlife and beautiful landscapes. After we greet you and answer any questions you might have, we'll take great pleasure in taking you out and showing you what we mean. Arusha has so many things happening, it can be difficult to know where to look. There are busy markets, informative museums, and terrific restaurants and street food. Even just standing on a busy street corner and watching the world go by can be an education. By the end of it all, Arusha could end up being an unexpected highlight of your safari

Program of the Day: After breakfast, our tour guide driver will pick you up from the lodge and take you on a wonderful game drive in Tarangire National Park, bringing along lunch boxes. After the game drive, we will return to the lodge for relaxation, and dinner ready for the next day adventure.  Wherever you go in Tarangire National Park, you’ll come across the park’s famous and larger-than-life baobab trees and elephants. These are the twin elements that give this park so much personality. There is, of course, so much more. We don’t just mean the huge populations of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys and zebras. Or the rugged landscape of rocky hills and rivers, swamps and savannah plains. You also have an excellent chance of seeing lions here – Tarangire is a real lion stronghold – and keep an eye out for leopards and cheetahs as well

Program of the Day: After breakfast, we will depart for Central Serengeti National Park for an amazing and beautiful game drive. We will enjoy lunch at a suitable place inside the park and continue the game drive activity in the afternoon before reaching the lodge. You will spend the next three days inside the park doing a game drive for the entire day.

Serengeti National Park is well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. Be ready to see resident predators such as leopards, cheetahs, and lions fulfilling their role in the circle of life.

There's nowhere in Tanzania where you have a better chance of seeing big cats than in the Central Serengeti. You'll also see lots of other animals as you explore the savannah grasslands and silhouetted acacia trees with us. This is the Serengeti's heartland and it is the most popular area of the park, but with very good reason.

Enjoy quiet, little Karatu. Its busy main street is a window on urban life in a small provincial town, but it’s much quieter just a few blocks away from the main road. Shop, go to the bank or simply walk the streets – all are possible here.

Program of the Day: After breakfast, we will head to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive and a picnic lunch. After the game drive, we will transfer you to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.  You never forget the first time you see Ngorongoro Crater from above. Looking out from the rim of this extraordinary volcanic crater is like gazing down upon a lost world of wildlife and astonishing beauty. The drive down into the crater will be just as special, taking you down onto the crater floor where nature rules and no human being may pass the night. You'll spend the best part of a day exploring this remarkable place, seeing its lions, hyenas, black rhinos, elephants, flamingos and so much more. And when it comes time to leave, you'll keep looking back over your shoulder trying to hold these experiences in your memory

Program of the Day: After breakfast, we will head to Lake Manyara National Park for a game drive with a packed lunch. After an exciting game drive and enjoying the park's natural beauty, you will then continue with the community village tour, where you will be escorted by the local guide to explore the natural beauty, come closer to nature itself and explore diverse African culture. Lake Manyara is a world-class wildlife-viewing destination, and it offers you some really special safari experiences. For a start, it has one of the few lion populations in Africa which are known to climb trees. It's also famous for its elephants, and it's not unusual to drive along a forest track only to have to stop suddenly to allow an elephant family to pass. The setting is similarly superb, with the park's thin, but dense strip of forest wedged between a bird-rich lake and the steep cliffs of the Rift Valley escarpment.

Program of the day: After breakfast, we will depart for Materuni village for a cultural and coffee tour on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival at Materuni village, you will have a short hike to Materuni Waterfall, then you will go back to the village for a village cultural tour and then a coffee tour before you have local lunch. After lunch, you will enjoy Chaga traditional songs and then go back to Arusha for dinner and an overnight stay. Between Moshi and Mt Kilimanjaro, Materuni Waterfalls is a popular place to visit. It's one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Tanzania, especially after rains when lots of water cascades down off the cliff in an area surrounded by forest.

Soak up the history as you explore Zanzibar Stone Town. The Swahili architecture here speaks of a rich and varied past, reflecting influences from Arabia, Asia and elsewhere across the Indian Ocean. But you'll love this place most when the smell of spices and the Muslim call to prayer carries through the atmospheric alleys to the historic waterfront.

Matemwe Beach is a serene and picturesque stretch of white sand located on Zanzibar’s northeastern coast, known for its tranquility and stunning views of the turquoise Indian Ocean. This peaceful beach is perfect for travelers seeking to escape the crowds, offering a laid-back atmosphere, swaying palm trees, and opportunities for snorkeling and diving near the vibrant coral reefs of Mnemba Atoll. Matemwe also boasts charming boutique accommodations and fresh local seafood, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and immersion in Zanzibar’s natural beauty.

Visitors love Nungwi, which has one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar Island. Nungwi is also a top spot from which to watch the sunset. This was a major boat-building center where they once made the traditional wooden sailing boats called dhows. You can learn about turtle conservation while you're here.

Program of the day: After breakfast and relaxing at the hotel, you will be transferred to the Airport for your departure back home or to another destination.  All good things must come to an end, and your time with us on safari in Tanzania will now draw to a close. We're sure that you've had a wonderful time.
