Experience the perfect mix of untamed wilderness and tropical paradise in this 6-day Serengeti and Zanzibar tour. Begin your adventure in Arusha before heading deep into the iconic Serengeti National Park for thrilling game drives through endless plains teeming with wildlife. Witness the Big Five and immerse yourself in the heart of Africa’s most legendary safari destination. Then, transition to total relaxation as you fly to Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches and the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean await. This tour is ideal for nature lovers, couples, and anyone looking to blend adventure with tranquility.
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or Arusha Airport, your guide will be waiting to greet you with a warm smile and traditional Tanzanian welcome. You’ll then be comfortably transferred to your lodge or hotel in Arusha, a lively city that sits at the foot of Mt. Meru and serves as the starting point for northern safaris.
Depending on your arrival time, you may choose to relax at your accommodation or enjoy an optional cultural tour — such as visiting the Maasai Market, a local coffee plantation, or even the Cultural Heritage Centre.
After breakfast, you’ll embark on a scenic and adventurous journey to Serengeti National Park, passing through the lush farmland of Karatu and into the Ngorongoro Highlands. En route, you’ll catch glimpses of Maasai herders, traditional villages, and the changing landscape from forest to savannah.
Upon entering Serengeti — whose name means “endless plains” in Maasai — the game viewing begins immediately. Your afternoon game drive will take you through this iconic landscape where lions laze under acacia trees, elephants roam in herds, and cheetahs sprint across open plains.
Wake up at sunrise for a magical day of wildlife viewing. Serengeti is one of the best safari destinations in the world — home to the Great Migration, the Big Five, and an astonishing variety of ecosystems and animals.
Your guide will take you on a full-day game drive, tailoring the route based on seasonal animal movement. Whether it’s calving season in the south, river crossings in the north, or predator activity in the central Seronera region, there’s always something extraordinary to witness.
Expect to see:
Lions stalking prey in the grass
Leopards lounging in trees
Buffalo charging through the bush
Giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and more
A variety of birds, from secretary birds to eagles
After a final breakfast in the bush, take a short drive to Seronera Airstrip for your scenic flight to Zanzibar — flying over endless plains, rift valleys, and, eventually, the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Upon landing at Zanzibar International Airport, a driver will meet you and transfer you to your beachfront resort. After days of adventure, it’s time to unwind. Watch the sunset paint the ocean gold, walk barefoot on powdery white sands, or sip a cocktail by the pool.
This is your transition from the wild to the tropical, offering a completely different but equally magical experience.
Today is all about recharging, exploring, or both. You can choose to simply relax — swimming, sunbathing, or enjoying spa treatments — or take part in a range of optional tours:
Optional Activities:
Spice Farm Tour – Learn why Zanzibar is known as the “Spice Island.”
Stone Town Tour – Explore this historic, UNESCO-listed old town with winding alleys, Arab-Swahili architecture, and a fascinating blend of cultures.
Snorkeling or Diving – Discover coral reefs and colorful marine life at Mnemba Atoll or other reef sites.
Traditional Dhow Sunset Cruise – A romantic sail with drinks and music as the sun dips below the horizon.
Enjoy your final morning soaking up the serenity of Zanzibar. Take a morning swim, enjoy a tropical breakfast, or collect a few last-minute souvenirs.
At the scheduled time, your driver will transfer you to Zanzibar International Airport for your flight home or next destination — leaving you with unforgettable memories of the African bush and the Indian Ocean’s beauty.
