Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar

Safari summary

Embark on an unforgettable 4-day Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar, visiting some of northern Tanzania’s most iconic wildlife destinations: Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater. This safari is perfect for travelers looking for a compact yet thrilling wildlife adventure, combining diverse landscapes, abundant animals, and professional guiding services.

Your journey begins with a scenic flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, followed by a drive to Tarangire National Park, known for its majestic elephants, enormous baobab trees, and tranquil savannahs. Spend the day on an exciting game drive, spotting lions, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, and a variety of birds. Overnight in Karatu provides comfort after your first taste of Tanzanian wilderness.

The adventure continues with a drive via the scenic Ngorongoro Highlands to the legendary Serengeti National Park, home to endless plains, predators, and large herds of grazing animals. Enjoy afternoon game drives in this iconic landscape, capturing the beauty and drama of the African savannah. Spend the night at a comfortable tented camp or lodge in the heart of the Serengeti, surrounded by nature.

On the third day, rise early for a final morning game drive in Serengeti before heading toward the Ngorongoro Highlands, passing through scenic highlands and wildlife-rich areas. Arrive at your lodge or camp near the crater rim, where you can relax and take in breathtaking views while preparing for the next day’s crater exploration.

The safari culminates in a descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most famous natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater floor offers incredible wildlife sightings, including the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino—as well as flamingos, hippos, zebras, and more. After a picnic lunch in this spectacular setting, ascend to the crater rim and drive to Arusha Airport for your flight back to Zanzibar, concluding your unforgettable safari.
