Day 1

Arusha

You've been dreaming of your Tanzanian safari for so long and the day when it begins has finally arrived. We'll greet you, give you a quick rundown on what happens next and answer your questions. Then we'll take you out to discover what this incredible country has to offer.

Busy Arusha is an essential part of safari life here in northern Tanzania and most travelers pass through at some stage. Whether you’re on your way out on safari or here for a little longer, you’ll catch a glimpse of streets filled with energy and color.

Accommodation Day 1

Mount Meru Hotel

Hotel

Arusha may be one of northern Tanzania's busiest cities, but you'll sleep well in this full-service hotel. The rooms come with views of either the volcanic Mount Meru (Africa's fifth-highest mountain) or a golf course and the city skyline. Facilities include a gym, spa, swimming pool and restaurant.

Day 2

Tarangire National Park

If you’ve never been to Tarangire (and even if you have) you’re in for a real treat. Tarangire is filled with giants – baobab trees all across the park, as well as elephants, lots of them. But that’s just the beginning. Of the big cats, you’ll probably see lions, and cheetahs and leopards are around, too. And it’s impossible to miss the wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes and zebras. Your backdrop for all of this is one of the prettiest in northern Tanzania, with a memorable mix of river woodland, open plains and rolling hills. And some vantage points to take it all in.

Accommodation Day 2

Marera Valley Lodge

Lodge

Set back from the main road between Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park and close to Karatu, Marera Valley Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are large and quiet, there's a swimming pool set amid manicured lawns, and the views of the green Crater Highlands are memorable. The onsite restaurant serves local and international specialties.

Meal Plan Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Drinking water

Day 3

Serengeti National Park

Discover just why so many safari visitors fall in love with the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you can imagine. You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and that may all just be before breakfast. You’ll never forget watching these animals interact, whether you see a hunt, a vast herd or a mother protecting her cub or calf. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

Accommodation Day 3

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater

Today you’ll visit Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most beautiful natural sights in Africa, a place where you’ll experience otherworldly beauty with extraordinary wildlife. Watch as, from above, morning mist rolls up and over the crater rim, and notice how the steep walls suggest a place unlike any other. Down below on the crater floor, explore a lost world preserved in a state of pristine isolation, one that shelters lions and hyenas, elephants and black rhinos, flamingos and golden jackals. There are also forests, hippo-filled lakes, a salt pan and hyena dens, and you’ll never lose the sense that you’ve stumbled into a safari theme park where everything’s wild.

Accommodation Day 5

Marera Valley Lodge

Lodge

Pass another night at Marera Valley Lodge on your way through Karatu.

Day 6

Lake Manyara National Park

Strung out in the shadow of the Rift Valley escarpment, that great fracture in the earth’s surface that divides Africa in two, Lake Manyara is one of Tanzania’s more unusual parks. Here you’ll certainly see the elephants for which the park is famous, and, if you’re really lucky, one of the park’s equally well-known tree-climbing lions. There’s also a lake filled with wading birds, plenty of olive baboons, and dense forests that make you feel that exciting animals could emerge from the trees at any moment. It’s a wonderful chance to mark the transition between the lower plains and the Crater Highlands (with Ngorongoro Crater) away to the west.

Lake Manyara and the Great Rift Escarpment

Accommodation Day 6

Masailand Safari & Lodge

Hotel

When you're in Arusha, you'll sleep in bright, large and modern rooms that all have private bathrooms here at Masailand Safari & Lodge. The location, on a quiet street not far from the center of town, is excellent, and the green surroundings give a real sense of being separated from the noise of the city. You can even see Mt Meru if the weather's clear. There's also an onsite restaurant and a swimming pool.

Day 8

Zanzibar Stone Town

Zanzibar Stone Town is a spectacular place to visit. The island's historical riches have produced stunning architecture, including houses built of coral and fine museums. When you smell the spices in the markets or hear the Muslim call to prayer echo through the tangled streets, you'll feel like you've stepped back centuries.
