8-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Arusha

Arrive in Arusha, Tanzania’s safari gateway, where you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred to your accommodation. After settling in, you can relax and recover from your journey. If your arrival time allows, you may explore a little of Arusha or simply enjoy the hotel facilities. Your safari guide will provide a briefing about the upcoming adventure and ensure everything is prepared for the following morning.

Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park

After breakfast, depart Arusha and drive toward Tarangire National Park. The park is famous for its large elephant herds, ancient baobab trees and diverse wildlife. Enjoy a game drive through landscapes where you may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, lions and many bird species. The combination of open grasslands, seasonal wetlands and woodland creates excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. After your game drive, continue toward your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 3: Tarangire to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, leave Tarangire and travel toward the legendary Serengeti National Park. The journey itself offers beautiful views of Tanzania’s changing landscapes. Upon entering Serengeti, begin your first game drive as you make your way toward your accommodation. Keep your eyes open for predators and large herds moving across the plains. Serengeti is one of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations and forms the heart of this 8 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday.

Day 4: Full-Day Serengeti National Park

Enjoy a full day exploring Serengeti with your private safari guide. Depending on wildlife movements, you may explore areas known for concentrations of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and large herbivore herds. The Serengeti is also famous for the Great Migration, although the location of the herds changes throughout the year and sightings cannot be guaranteed. Your guide will use current wildlife conditions to maximize your opportunities for memorable encounters.

Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

After breakfast, enjoy another game drive in Serengeti before travelling toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The route provides another opportunity to observe wildlife and appreciate Tanzania’s dramatic landscapes. As you approach Ngorongoro, the scenery changes from the open Serengeti plains to the highlands surrounding the crater. Arrive at your accommodation, enjoy dinner and relax before the following day’s crater experience.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha and Flight to Zanzibar

After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an exciting game drive. The crater provides an extraordinary wildlife environment where you may see lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, zebras, wildebeest and many other species. After your crater experience, ascend and continue toward Arusha for your onward flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival in Zanzibar, you will be transferred to your beach accommodation where you can relax beside the Indian Ocean.

Day 7: Zanzibar Beach Relaxation

Enjoy a peaceful day in Zanzibar. Relax on the beach, swim in the warm ocean, enjoy your resort facilities or simply take in the tropical surroundings. This part of the 8 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday is intentionally relaxed so you can recover after your safari adventure. For travelers who want additional experiences, optional activities can be arranged at an extra cost.

Optional activities may include Stone Town, a Spice Farm, Prison Island, Mnemba Island, Jozani Forest, snorkeling, diving, dolphin experiences or a sunset dhow cruise.

Day 8: Zanzibar Beach Morning and Departure

Enjoy your final morning in Zanzibar with time for breakfast and relaxation. Depending on your departure schedule, you may have time for one final walk along the beach or enjoy the resort before your transfer to the airport. Your 8 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday ends with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s wildlife, landscapes and tropical coastline.

Wildlife You Can See

The safari portion provides opportunities to encounter some of Tanzania’s most iconic animals, including:

The Big Five Experience

One of the highlights of an 8 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday is the opportunity to search for Africa’s Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros.

Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro each offer different wildlife experiences. Ngorongoro is particularly special because its enclosed crater ecosystem supports a remarkable concentration of animals.

Zanzibar Beach Experience

After several days of exciting game drives, Zanzibar offers a completely different atmosphere. Enjoy white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, palm-fringed coastlines and warm tropical weather.

You can choose to spend your time simply relaxing or add optional experiences to your holiday. Popular choices include:

Optional activities are available at an additional cost and can be added according to your interests and schedule.

Best Time for This Holiday

The 8 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday can be enjoyed throughout the year. The best travel period depends on what you want to experience.
