14-Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Luxury Escape
A Safari Tour Through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater & the White Sands of Zanzibar. Plan My Safari
Experience the best of Tanzania on this 14-day safari and beach holiday, departing from Arusha. The journey opens in Tarangire National Park, where baobab-studded landscapes and large elephant herds set an impressive tone, before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater — a UNESCO World Heritage Site riddled with lions, hippos, flamingos, and much more within its ancient walls.
The Serengeti follows, offering sweeping plains, acacia-dotted horizons, and the spectacle of the Great Migration. Lake Manyara National Park adds a final safari highlight, known for its tree-climbing lions and vibrant birdlife, before the journey returns to Arusha.
The trip concludes with a beach stay in Zanzibar, where palm-fringed shores, turquoise waters, and a rich Swahili culture provide a perfect and relaxing contrast to the safari that preceded it.
