Day 1 · Zanzibar Coast
Zanzibar to Tarangire National Park
Your driver will pick you up from your Zanzibar hotel, with pick-ups starting at 5:00 am, depending on your location. You’ll then head to the airport for a flight to Arusha, which is expected to land around 9:20 am. Upon arrival at Arusha Airport, your guide will be there to welcome you. From Arusha, embark on a 2-hour drive to Tarangire National Park, renowned for its expansive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees, among the largest on the continent. Traveling in an open-roof vehicle, you’ll immerse yourself in the park’s diverse landscape, which includes seasonal swamps, sweeping savanna, and the lively Tarangire River, home to a rich variety of wildlife. The park offers a captivating variety of wildlife, including birds, giraffes, impalas, zebras, lions, leopards, elands, warthogs, and elephants. As the day ends, you’ll head to your lodge for a delightful dinner and a peaceful overnight stay. Overnight at Ngorongoro Marera Mountain View Lodge • Luxury lodge located near Karatu (Town).
After the dust of the safari, Zanzibar is balm: white sand, palm shadows and the Indian Ocean turning seven shades of turquoise. You arrive on the short flight from the mainland and are met at Abeid Amani Karume Airport for the drive to your beach hotel.
Days are yours to design. Snorkel the Mnemba Atoll, sail a traditional dhow at sunset, swim with dolphins at Kizimkazi, take a spice tour or simply do nothing under a coconut palm. Our local representative is on call for whatever you want to add.
