Itinerary for Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday in details

After your morning breakfast, you will be picked up from your hotel by our professional safari guide, to start your safari to the Tarangire National Park. Bush savannah, seasonal swamps, and giant baobab trees make up the landscape of this nature reserve and the park is absolutely the best place in East Africa to see elephants as many tourists can testify. Not only they are found in thousands but also, they seem to be more accustomed to vehicles, and for this particular reason, you can be closer to these gigantic animals without any fear. Besides elephants, a varied number of animals such as the Masai giraffes, various gazelles, antelopes, buffaloes, lions, leopards, baboons, and more than 500 types of birds, make this the one-stop solution for both the bird and the animal lovers. After the game drive, you will depart from the park in the late afternoon and drive to the lodge for your overnight stay.

Day 3: Tarangire – Serengeti National Park
After breakfast at your hotel, you will head towards the Serengeti National Park, via the beautiful high lying farmland of Karatu and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which will also add to the perfection of your trip. Leaving the highlands behind, we descend into the heart of wild Africa, the Serengeti National Park with its endless plains, rolling into the distance as far as the eyes can go. We head to the central park area which is famously known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in this park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and this pulls wildlife with all representatives of most of the Serengeti’s species. Our arrival will be in the afternoon in order to have lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the Serengeti national park afterwards.
After touring around the park, you will be transferred to your lodge for an evening and a night sleep over.
The meal plan covers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Day 4: Full Day Serengeti National Park
After enjoying your morning breakfast, you will spend the whole day on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park, enjoying your lunch at a picnic spot and route. Depending on the time/season of the year, you might even have a chance to witness the great migration with hundreds and thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson gazelles while on your trip. During the small rainy season in the months of October and November, you will be able to see these herds moving from the Kenyan Masai Mara through the northwest of the Serengeti to the plains in the south. After the great rainy season, around April, May, and June, the herds slowly travel back through the western and north-western parts of the Serengeti. With the increase and reduction in rainfall, this timetable can change, resulting into the animals migrating during different times and routes. Our professional guide will try his best to find the animals and will make it possible for you to see them from the best spot in the national park. Naturally, the migration extensively attracts predators and with luck, you might see a kill in action.
