Day by day
Itinerary
Day 1Tarangire National Park
You drive about two hours to Tarangire and spend the day following the river, where elephants gather in large family herds beneath baobab trees. You eat a picnic lunch in the park and keep watching for lion, leopard, giraffe and many of its 500+ bird species.
Day 2Ngorongoro Crater
You descend into the crater at gate opening, before it fills with vehicles. On the floor you look for black rhino, lion, elephant bulls, hyena and flamingos on the soda lake, and eat a picnic lunch by the hippo pool. Afterwards you climb back to the highlands for the night.
Day 3Into the Serengeti
You cross the Ngorongoro highlands, past Maasai villages and the Olduvai Gorge, and enter the Serengeti at Naabi Hill. Your first game drive follows the plains toward camp, with lion and cheetah often seen along the way.
Day 4Full day in the Serengeti
A full day exploring the Serengeti, with a picnic lunch so you never have to rush back to camp. Your guide reads the plains, kopjes and rivers for big cats, follows the herds and decides with you when to stay and when to move on.
Day 5Serengeti · fly to Zanzibar
A last morning game drive, then a light-aircraft flight from a Serengeti airstrip straight to Zanzibar. You are on the beach by late afternoon.
Day 6Beach day
A free day to swim, read under the palms, have a spa treatment or take an optional sunset dhow cruise. You set the pace.
Day 7Stone Town & spice farm
You take a guided walk through Stone Town's lanes: carved doors, the old fort, the House of Wonders area, the former slave market memorial and the Darajani market. Then you visit a spice farm to taste cloves, cinnamon and vanilla straight from the plant.
Day 8Departure from Zanzibar
After a last swim and breakfast, you transfer to Zanzibar airport for your flight home.
