Safari summary
Experience the perfect combination of thrilling wildlife adventures and tropical island relaxation on this unforgettable Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar holiday. Carefully designed by Safari Celeb Tours, this journey takes you through Tanzania's most iconic safari destinations before ending on the breathtaking beaches of Zanzibar. From the giant elephant herds of Tarangire National Park to the endless plains of Serengeti National Park, the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, and the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, every day offers unforgettable experiences and lasting memories.
Your adventure begins in Tarangire National Park, one of Tanzania's most scenic wildlife reserves. Known for its ancient baobab trees, beautiful landscapes, and one of East Africa's largest elephant populations, Tarangire offers exceptional game viewing throughout the year. During your first game drive, you'll search for elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeests, impalas, warthogs, ostriches, and more than 550 species of birds. The Tarangire River attracts wildlife from across the park, making every safari exciting and rewarding.
From Tarangire, continue to the legendary Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's greatest wildlife destinations. Covering nearly 15,000 square kilometres of open plains, woodlands, and river valleys, the Serengeti is home to an incredible variety of animals and the famous Great Wildebeest Migration. Depending on the season, you may witness thousands of wildebeests and zebras moving across the plains while predators follow closely behind.
Spend two unforgettable days exploring the heart of the Serengeti with your experienced professional guide. Morning and afternoon game drives provide excellent opportunities to search for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, jackals, gazelles, topis, and countless bird species. Every game drive reveals new wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes, making the Serengeti one of Africa's most rewarding safari destinations.
Your safari continues to the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend over 600 metres into this remarkable natural wonder, where lush grasslands, forests, lakes, and wetlands support one of Africa's highest concentrations of wildlife. The crater offers one of the best opportunities to spot the Big Five in a single day, including the endangered black rhinoceros. Along the way, you'll also encounter hippos, flamingos, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, jackals, and many other fascinating species.
Throughout your safari, travel in a specially designed 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof, allowing exceptional wildlife viewing and photography. Your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will share fascinating insights into Tanzania's wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation efforts while ensuring every game drive is enjoyable and rewarding.
After your safari adventure, you'll fly from Arusha to the beautiful island of Zanzibar, where a completely different experience awaits. Famous for its white-sand beaches, swaying palm trees, turquoise waters, and rich Swahili culture, Zanzibar is the perfect place to relax after days spent exploring the African wilderness.
Spend your days unwinding on the beach, swimming in the warm Indian Ocean, or choosing from a variety of optional activities. Discover the historic streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history and culture, visit one of the island's famous Spice Farms, snorkel among colourful coral reefs, dive into crystal-clear waters, enjoy a traditional sunset dhow cruise, or simply relax by the ocean while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of this tropical paradise.
Your accommodations have been carefully selected to provide comfort, excellent service, and ideal locations throughout your journey.
