About this trip
From turquoise island shores to the vast savannahs of Tanzania’s north, this journey captures the perfect balance between serenity and safari splendor.
This 5-day safari combines the relaxing atmosphere of Zanzibar with the rich wildlife experiences of Northern Tanzania. The journey begins along the Indian Ocean coastline, where you can enjoy the island’s unique blend of history, culture, and tropical beauty before heading inland for an exciting safari through some of Tanzania’s most famous wildlife areas.
After exploring the charm of Zanzibar, you will fly to the northern safari circuit and discover destinations such as Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. Each location offers a different perspective of Tanzania’s natural world, from large elephant herds gathering around seasonal rivers and ancient baobab trees in Tarangire, to the diverse wildlife found within the Ngorongoro Crater and the endless plains of the Serengeti.
