10 Days Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday

Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport, you will be welcomed by a Quest Horizon Safaris representative.

After assistance with your luggage, transfer privately to your accommodation in Arusha.

Arusha lies near the foot of Mount Meru and serves as the main gateway to Northern Tanzania’s safari destinations.

Depending on your arrival time, spend the remainder of the day resting after your journey.

You may enjoy the gardens and facilities of your accommodation or arrange an optional local experience.

Before departure, your guide or representative will provide a detailed briefing covering:

Dinner and overnight in Arusha.

After breakfast, meet your professional safari guide and depart for Tarangire National Park.

The journey passes through small towns, agricultural areas, open countryside and Maasai grazing lands.

Upon entering Tarangire, begin your first private game drive.

The park is famous for its large elephant population, ancient baobab trees and the Tarangire River.

Explore open grasslands, acacia woodland, river valleys and seasonal wetlands.

Elephants may be seen feeding beneath baobabs, travelling in extended family groups or gathering near water sources.

Other possible wildlife includes:

Tarangire is also one of Northern Tanzania’s most rewarding birdwatching destinations.

Later, leave Tarangire and travel toward Karatu or the Ngorongoro Highlands for dinner and overnight.

Depart early after breakfast and travel into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Continue to the crater rim and descend approximately 600 metres to the crater floor.

Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and supports one of Africa’s greatest concentrations of large mammals.

Its grasslands, forest, freshwater springs, wetlands and alkaline lake provide habitat for lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, spotted hyenas and numerous antelope species.

The crater is also one of Tanzania’s better areas for searching for the endangered black rhinoceros, although sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Explore the open plains, Lerai Forest, freshwater marshes and Lake Magadi.

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a designated location on the crater floor.

In the early afternoon, ascend the crater wall and continue through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area toward Serengeti National Park.

Enter the park and begin an en-route game drive toward Central Serengeti.

Arrive at your lodge or tented camp in the late afternoon or early evening.

Wake to the sound of the ocean and enjoy a relaxed breakfast.

Spend the day at leisure at your beach accommodation.

Depending on the selected coastline and tidal conditions, activities may include:

Zanzibar’s beaches vary significantly by location.

Your beach area should be selected according to your swimming preferences, desired atmosphere and activity interests.

Depending on your international flight time, spend the morning relaxing at the hotel.
