Northern Circuit safari finished on a Zanzibar beach
The classic Tanzanian pairing, done properly. Six days of game drives across Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, then a short flight straight to the Indian Ocean for four nights on the white sand of north-east Zanzibar. Snorkelling, a Stone Town spice walk and a dhow sunset sail turn the second half of the trip into a genuine holiday rather than an add-on.
Airport pick-up, transfer to your Arusha lodge and a full trip briefing with your guide.
Game drive among baobabs and Tarangire's famous elephant herds; overnight near the park.
Morning in Lake Manyara for tree-climbing lions and flamingos, then up to the crater highlands.
Dawn descent for a Big Five day on the caldera floor; overnight in Karatu.
Olduvai Gorge en route, then afternoon game drive in the central Seronera Valley.
Sunrise to sunset on the plains; optional hot-air balloon flight with bush breakfast.
Final game drive, bush flight to Zanzibar and transfer to your beach resort in the north-east.
Snorkelling trip to Mnemba Atoll, then a free afternoon on the sand.
Guided Stone Town walk, spice farm tasting and a sunset dhow cruise.
Breakfast, free morning and transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your onward flight.
For June to October and the December holidays we recommend 6 – 9 months ahead, because the best camps sell out. Outside those windows 2 – 3 months is usually enough, and we can often arrange a trip at two weeks' notice.
A 30% deposit confirms your dates and accommodation, with the balance due 30 days before arrival. We accept bank transfer, credit card and secure payment links, all in US dollars.
Yes. Private vehicles mean we set the pace, and we choose family-friendly lodges with pools and interconnecting rooms. For children under six we suggest shorter driving days and parks close to Arusha.
Yellow fever certification is required if you arrive from an endemic country, and anti-malarial prophylaxis is strongly advised. Speak to a travel clinic 6 – 8 weeks before departure.
