Tanzania Safari with Serengeti National Park & All Inclusive Zanzibar Beach Stay

Your first destination on this Tanzania safari and Zanzibar holiday is Arusha City. On arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will meet your representative and transfer to your hotel, located a short distance from Arusha City Centre. Once settled in, you can take time to relax or begin getting acquainted with the city. You can explore local streets, browse colourful markets, or visit nearby cafés and restaurants. With Mount Meru providing a striking backdrop, you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere before your Tanzanian adventure begins.

Spend the morning at leisure, and it will be followed by a safari briefing and lunch. You can use the free time to explore Arusha’s lively character, browse local markets or admire views of Mount Meru. After lunch, get on your safari vehicle and leave the city behind. You will travel across the Masai Steppe through picturesque villages and plantations of maize, coffee and bananas.

Then via Makuyuni you will head to Tarangire National Park, completing the entry formalities before beginning your game drive. You can watch for elephants, giraffes and other wildlife as you travel towards your lodge, arriving in time for dinner and an overnight stay.

Begin the day with a game drive through Tarangire, tracking resident lion prides and roaming elephant herds across the baobab-dotted landscape. Wind past the Silale Swamp, a haven for hippos and waterbirds, before heading back to the lodge for a leisurely lunch. In the afternoon, depart northward through the park toward Makuyuni, then climb along a picturesque escarpment road.

This route leads you to your next lodge, dramatically positioned along the Rift Valley's edge, offering panoramic vistas across the shimmering expanse of Lake Manyara below, a fitting close to a day filled with wildlife and breathtaking scenery.

Following breakfast, set out on a game drive through Lake Manyara National Park, then head back to the lodge to enjoy lunch. Afterwards, bid farewell to Lake Manyara and travel northwest across the picturesque highland terrain, dotted with sprawling wheat fields and coffee farms. The route then leads into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, opening onto the sweeping grasslands of the Serengeti, where animal sightings begin even before reaching the park gate. Once entry formalities are completed, continue into the Serengeti itself, pausing along the way for game viewing as you make your way toward your lodge, arriving in time to settle in for dinner.

Today, you enjoy a fantastic morning and afternoon game drive with meals included and a nice overnight stay at the lodge.

You are going to stay at 3* Serengeti Serena Lodge for 2 nights where you stay in a nice lodge with a full board meal plan (with picnic lunch box & excludes laundry and drinks).

Following breakfast, you set off toward Ngorongoro, carrying a packed lunch as you traverse the sweeping expanses of the Serengeti, keeping an eye out for wildlife along the way. You will take a halt for some time during this journey to enjoy your picnic amid the open scenery. Continue onward, ascending toward your lodge, dramatically situated along the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater.

Take in the crater's breathtaking vistas as you settle in for the evening, with dinner and overnight accommodation awaiting at this spectacular highland setting, offering a peaceful close to a day spent immersed in the wonders of the Tanzanian wilderness.

Today brings a true highlight as you venture into what's often called the world's most extraordinary natural wildlife theatre. Following an early breakfast, make your way to the crater's entrance and begin the descent through drifting morning mist, dropping roughly 2,000 feet onto the caldera floor. Ngorongoro stands as the planet's largest unbroken volcanic caldera, and its considerable size and varied terrain create distinct habitats: woodland, marshes, lakes, freshwater springs, open savannah, and even patches of sandy dunes, resulting in an exceptional and varied wildlife encounter. Enjoy a packed lunch beside a pond where hippos gather. In the late afternoon, make your way back up to the lodge, where dinner and a restful overnight stay await.

After breakfast, leave Ngorongoro Crater behind and travel southeast, passing by Lake Manyara and the village of Mto wa Mbu. The route winds through the highland region and Karatu district, showcasing scenic stretches of wheat farmland and coffee estates, before descending a dramatic escarpment onto the main road heading south toward Arusha. Along the way, you'll pass through the Maasai Steppe, dotted with charming rural villages and fields of maize, coffee, and bananas.

Upon reaching Arusha, enjoy lunch before being transferred to Kilimanjaro International Airport for your onward flight connection to Zanzibar.

On arriving in Zanzibar, you will be assisted by one of our representatives to your hotel. Zanzibar, the fabled Spice Island off Tanzania's coast, enchants visitors with its swaying palms, turquoise lagoons, and centuries-old Swahili culture, from Stone Town's winding alleys to fragrant clove and spice plantations. The island's northern shores, particularly Matemwe, are renowned for powder-white sands and a spectacular coral reef facing Mnemba Island.

Here, you will be staying at The Mora Zanzibar that is a wonderful 5-star beachfront sanctuary, blending Swahili-inspired architecture with contemporary elegance across its spacious suites, many featuring private terraces, pools, or jacuzzis. You can unwind beside multiple pools, indulge in spa treatments, or dive the nearby reef through scuba and snorkelling excursions. While staying here, you can also check out the in-house highlights that include authentic Swahili cooking experiences, water sports, tennis, and a kids' club for families, while dining ranges from vibrant teppanyaki evenings to generous buffet spreads with live cooking stations, a true celebration of island life.

Note: Check with the hotel for the charges and availability of activities, equipment, and other related things at your time of visit.

Today, your Tanzania Safari and Beach holiday draws to a close as you bid farewell to island life, transferring for your homeward flight with cherished memories in tow.
