Tour Highlights

This privately guided Tanzania safari is a perfectly paced journey through the country’s most iconic wildlife regions, from the elephant-filled landscapes of Tarangire and the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands to the predator-rich heart of the Serengeti and the remote northern plains near the Mara River. Outstanding game viewing, dramatic scenery and an authentic safari feel, with intimate tented camps and expert guiding throughout.

It combines seamlessly with a week in Zanzibar, creating the ideal bush-and-beach experience. After the excitement of daily game drives, Zanzibar offers a complete change of pace with white-sand beaches, warm Indian Ocean waters, excellent snorkelling, diving, Wingfoiling or Kitesurfing. The contrast between wild safari adventure and effortless beach downtime makes this a beautifully balanced and memorable holiday.

Arusha is a vibrant city in northern Tanzania, often referred to as the gateway to some of Africa's most renowned natural wonders. Nestled at the foot of Mount Meru, it offers a stunning backdrop of lush greenery and distant mountain peaks. 

The city is a starting point for safaris to world-famous destinations like Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. Arusha itself is rich in culture, with bustling markets, craft shops, and local eateries where you can experience Tanzanian cuisine and hospitality.

After ascending the crater, you continue onward to the Serengeti National Park, where game viewing unfolds across vast open plains. You arrive at Kisura Serengeti Camp in time to unwind before dinner.

Day 2 here is dedicated to unrestricted game drives from early morning through sunset in the Serengeti. Explore different regions of the park in search of big cats, large herbivore herds, and the ever-changing drama of the savannah. You may return to camp during the heat of the day or remain out in the field depending on wildlife activity. Overnight remains at Kisura Serengeti Camp.

The Serengeti National Park

The Serengeti, located in northern Tanzania, is a world-renowned wilderness and a crown jewel of Africa’s safari destinations. Its name, derived from the Maasai word "Siringet," meaning "endless plains," perfectly describes the expansive grasslands that stretch as far as the eye can see. This vast ecosystem, covering approximately 30,000 square kilometres, is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife, including the famous Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinoceroses—as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and countless other species.

One of the Serengeti’s most extraordinary features is the Great Migration, a natural phenomenon where over two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles traverse its plains in a continuous cycle of movement, driven by the search for fresh grazing and water. This epic journey includes dramatic river crossings, particularly along the Grumeti and Mara rivers, where predators like crocodiles lie in wait, and it is a highlight for many visitors.

The best time to visit the Serengeti depends on what you wish to experience. From December to March, the southern plains come alive during the calving season, when thousands of baby wildebeests and zebras are born. This attracts predators like lions and cheetahs, making it an excellent time for wildlife viewing and witnessing the circle of life. From June to October, the dry season offers prime conditions for game viewing as animals gather around water sources, and it’s also when the Great Migration reaches the northern Serengeti. This period is famous for the dramatic river crossings, particularly from July to September, which are among the most thrilling wildlife spectacles in the world. November and early December mark the short rainy season, when the migration begins its journey back south, and the landscape transforms into a lush, green haven.

Days 7 - 9

4* Moyo Tented Camp, Serengeti

Full Board with all game drives

After breakfast, you continue your Serengeti safari, moving toward the seasonal migration areas. Game drives throughout the day provide opportunities to follow predator action and vast plains game movements. You arrive at Moyo Migration Camp, strategically located to maximise wildlife encounters during this time of year.

Enjoy another full day of dawn-to-dusk game drives in the Serengeti. Spend time tracking wildlife hotspots and soaking in the remoteness of the ecosystem, with flexibility to adapt the day to animal movements and photographic opportunities. Overnight remains at Moyo Migration Camp.

4* Mvuvi Boutique Resort

Breakfast

After breakfast, you transfer to the airstrip. You are then assisted with your scheduled flight from Kogatende Airstrip to Zanzibar, marking the end of your safari adventure and the beginning of your island escape.

Zanzibar

Zanzibar is an ideal destination for a luxury scuba diving holiday, combining world-class underwater experiences with exceptional comfort and style. The island's warm waters are home to vibrant coral reefs and a wide variety of marine life, including tropical fish, turtles, dolphins, and occasionally whale sharks. Exclusive resorts and boutique hotels offer beachfront suites, private pools, and personalized service. Our partner dive centres offer a tailored experience, from private dive boats to expert guides, making every dive seamless and memorable. 

With over 30 dive sites, including reef, wall, and wreck diving, Zanzibar is more than just a beach island where you can relax. The strong currents of Levan Bank are a haven for big game fish such as kingfish, trevally and tuna. Don’t forget that Zanzibar is also one of the world’s premier locations for sighting the ocean's biggest fish, the whale shark. Mnemba Atoll is a 7km reef that is a conservation success story. In the months from September to December, turtles, dolphins, and whale sharks can be seen.
