Zanzibar Beach and Safari Vacation: Discover Paradise with Unforgettable Adventures

Greetings to Tanzania! A representative will meet you at the airport and transport you to your lodging in Arusha. Depending on your arrival schedule, you'll have the opportunity to unwind and get ready for the extraordinary adventure that awaits.

Arusha, a bustling hub, plays a vital role in the safari experience in northern Tanzania, making it a must-visit for most travelers passing through.

After breakfast, our driver-guide will pick you up and take you to Tarangire for a private safari game drive. Enjoy a packed lunch and spot elephants and birds in the quiet park. Head to your booked accommodation to refresh and end the day with dinner under the stars and comfortable accommodation.

Following breakfast, embark from the hotel with a packed picnic lunch and descend into the captivating Ngorongoro Crater. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary realm of biodiversity nestled within the towering walls encompassing the reserve. The crater offers the possibility of encountering Africa's entire Big Five alongside a diverse array of wildlife, including numerous bird species. Spend a full day exploring the wonders of the crater before concluding the day by departing in the late afternoon for your accommodation, where dinner and an overnight stay await.

Following breakfast, embark on a journey to Lake Manyara National Park, a petite yet diverse reserve. Everything within this park unfolds on a distinct scale, combining compactness (ranking among Africa's narrowest parks) with epic grandeur (the Great Rift Escarpment majestically overlooks Lake Manyara's Western boundary). The park derives its name from a shallow salt lake that spans a significant area, fluctuating with the seasons and serving as a habitat for myriad wading birds, including flamingos and over 500 other bird species. Keep an eye out for baboons and elephants in the lush evergreen forest, and be on the lookout for the renowned tree-climbing lions that have garnered fame across Africa.

After a full day immersed in the park's wonders, drive to your accommodation in Arusha.

In the early morning, depart from your lodging in Arusha and head to Materuni village in the Kilimanjaro region for an enriching coffee tour. Gain insights into coffee cultivation, drying, roasting, and processing, and actively participate in the grinding process. As you engage in this traditional activity, enjoy the lively ambiance with Chagga songs and dances, providing a delightful immersion into the local culture.

Following your day at Materuni, proceed to the airport to catch your flight. On arrival at Zanzibar Airport, our driver will pick you up and take you to your hotel for dinner and an overnight stay.

Embark on a captivating exploration of Zanzibar's rich history with a half-day walking tour through Stone Town. Wander through the narrow, car-free streets and immerse yourself in the atmospheric charm of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Enjoy a convenient pick-up from your Zanzibar hotel as you discover key highlights, including colonial landmarks, the Old Fort, the birthplace of Freddy Mercury, and an Anglican Cathedral on the former grounds of a slave market. Gain insights into Zanzibar's spice trade history and navigate the maze-like alleys. Cap off your experience with door-to-door transport back to your Zanzibar hotel.

Embark on an early adventure with a hotel pickup for an unforgettable journey to Mnemba Island. Your day begins with a dolphin tour, followed by snorkeling at Mnemba Reef. Depending on the tide, you may also visit the Sandbank, a unique feature that emerges during low tide.

Mnemba Island has earned recognition as the #1 Best Beach Destination in Africa by Trip Savvy, celebrated for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Prepare to be mesmerized by the colorful array of fish species, including angel fish, blue-spotted rays, black snappers, groupers, red-tooth triggers, and many more. Dive into the world of octopuses, leaf fish, scorpion fish, and frogfish, among others, as you explore the rich biodiversity of Mnemba Reef.

Following breakfast and check-out, a vehicle will be ready to transport you to Zanzibar Airport for your return flight home, and it will be the end of the tour.
