The ultimate bucket-list itinerary — the Big Five on the mainland, Indian Ocean beaches to finish.
This is the trip people dream about: five days exploring Tanzania's most iconic national parks — Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro — followed by three nights unwinding on a white-sand Zanzibar beach. We handle every transfer, the internal flight from the Serengeti to Zanzibar, and all the logistics. You just show up.
This itinerary is fully customisable: extend the safari, add Lake Manyara, swap Zanzibar's east coast for Nungwi, or add a Stone Town day before the beach portion.
Met at Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) and transferred to Tarangire National Park (about 3.5 hours from Moshi). Afternoon game drive in the elephant-rich park before settling in at your lodge.
Drive via the Ngorongoro highlands to the Serengeti. Afternoon game drive en route to your central Serengeti camp.
Spend the full day on game drives in the Serengeti — your guide will track lion prides, leopards in sausage trees, and (in season) the Great Migration river crossings or calving plains.
Morning game drive in the Serengeti, then drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with optional stops at Olduvai Gorge or a Maasai village. Overnight on the crater rim — pack warm clothes.
Pre-dawn descent into the Ngorongoro Crater for half a day of game viewing — Big Five sightings are common in a single morning. Ascend, then drive to a Serengeti or Arusha airstrip for a flight to Zanzibar (ZNZ). Arrival transfer to your beachfront resort.
Full day at leisure on the beach. Swim, snorkel, sleep, repeat. Optional half-day dhow cruise or Stone Town visit.
Choose from snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll, a Jozani Forest red colobus walk, a Spice Tour, or a sunset dhow cruise — or simply enjoy another beach day.
Morning at leisure. Transfer to Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ) for your onward flight.
