Your first thought of a trip to Africa will probably bring to mind safaris across the vast grasslands of the continent. Along with everything you expect, this tour will take you to the island of Zanzibar where you can learn about a different aspect of African culture and laze the day away on pristine beaches.
Tanzania is a country blessed with a diverse landscape that includes plains, volcanic mountains, and barely-touched coastline.

You can go on a journey of cultural and natural discovery through Tanzania on your own private safari. If you’d like to explore other accommodation options for your hotel or resort around Zanzibar, please contact us.
Since your guide and vehicle are dedicated only to you, it’s possible to make adjustments to your itinerary to spend more or less time in each location. You can also opt to fly between locations to reduce your travel time, for an additional cost.

Next you can choose to have a picnic lunch in the park and continue on an afternoon game drive before returning to your accommodation in the late afternoon. Alternatively, you can request to return to your camp or lodge for lunch, take time to relax and rest and then head out on an evening game drive. Watching the sunset and the park transition in the routine of the night is a worthwhile experience.
However you structure you day, dinner comes in the evening, with chance to sit on the terraces, listen to the nocturnal calls across the Serengeti, and watch the stars pass overhead. Day three of your safari in Tanzania includes:
As if experiencing safari in one of the most famous parks of Africa wasn’t enough, you are presented with a truly unique opportunity to take a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti as dawn breaks on a new day for the majestic creatures. Along with the balloon ride you are treated to a champagne breakfast and a chance to witness the down chorus from a fresh perspective, all for an extra fee of $425.
You can opt for breakfast at your accommodation and a morning and afternoon game drive that will include a picnic lunch, if you’d rather. Whichever way you choose to explore the forested and grassed areas of the vast expanse of protected territory, you are sure to be treated to a most memorable experience.
There is an abundance of wildlife that inhabits the lands of the Serengeti. Your expert Tanzanian safari guide will be able to help you track, spot, identify, and find the best and safest way to photograph the animals you’ve travelled so far to see. Your last evening in this part of the Serengeti is rounded off with dinner and time to gather your thoughts ready to move to new territories in the morning.
Included in the fourth day of your safari in Africa is:
Another early start for breakfast before you set out on a game drive south towards the Ngorongoro Crater. On the way, you are invited to visit a village of the Masai people.

They will welcome you with a traditional dance and singing, followed by a chance to walk around the village and visit one of their traditional homes, all for an additional fee of $20 per person.
As well as being home to the wonderous beasts you’ve been discovering, these lands of the Great African Rift Valley were the place we evolved into humans. Dr Leakey found myriad tools, fossils, and other evidence to show that proto-humans had lived here nearly two million years ago. For $45 you can visit the museum and archaeology site of Dr Leakey at Oldulvai Gorge.
With so much to discover, you’ll take lunch in the park as a picnic and take a final game drive to see you to your camp or lodge inside Ngorongoro Crater for dinner that evening. The fifth day of your Tanzanian safari includes:

After breakfast, you will set out in exploration of the area which has a wide array of mammals for you to spot. A whole ecosystem exists within the confines of the crater, with grasslands, streams and even a lake that is host to flocks of bright pink flamingos.
Ensuring you get all the time that’s available surrounded by the beauty of the scenery, you will be given a picnic lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. The luscious green plains offer an interesting background for your photography, contrasting the expectations of a dusty and dry plain that most people on safari in Africa expect.

As the safari part of your trip of a lifetime comes to a close, you will have one last chance to pass through the scenic parklands after breakfast. From Ngorongoro Crater you will track eastwards back to the capital, Arusha, with the countryside of Tanzania passing you by.
From the city, you will have lunch and then fly to the idyllic island of Zanzibar. For so many a place that is almost mythical, filled with stories of culture and exoticism, this is your chance to visit a place that doesn’t make it on to most travel lists.

Time at the beach can be as active or chilled as you choose, just be sure to be at your accommodation in time for your meals each day. Whether your idea of a beach break is a lounger, a book, and paddling in the shallows, or snorkelling, windsurfing, or even scuba diving, Zanzibar will meet your expectations.

Less developed and more rugged than Zanzibar, and arguably even more stunning, a boat trip around different lands can be arranged locally and your exact itinerary matched to your requirements.
How to spend your last day on Zanzibar is entirely up to you, with any activities available from local agencies, at additional cost. Be sure to be at your accommodation for your meal times, which you can confirm at the hotel or resort you choose to stay at. The last full day in your African adventure includes:
