Timeless Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Escape

In the morning, you’ll transfer to Tarangire National Park, a 2,600 square-kilometre sprawl of wilderness renowned for its high concentration of elephants, with some 300 of these majestic mammals gathering along the banks of the Tarangire River during the dry season.

The park is also known for its large number of baobab trees, while additionally hosting a plethora of iconic African wildlife including giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, impala, lion, leopard and cheetah.

Upon arrival in the park, you’ ll embark on your first game drive, heading across Tarangire’s lush river valleys and acacia woodlands in search of these captivating creatures and stopping along the way to enjoy a picnic lunch amid the African bush.


Accommodation: Maweninga Camp (or alternative hotel of equal standard).

Enjoy breakfast at your accommodation before heading out on an enthralling full-day game drive through the expansive, jaw-dropping landscape of the Ngorongoro Crater.

One of the planet’s unique terrestrial formations, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact volcanic caldera on Earth, stretching some twenty kilometres in diameter. Due to the steep slopes of its perimeter, the crater has effectively formed its own distinct ecosystem and is home to hundreds of different species including large mammals such as elephant, hippo, black rhino, wildebeest and lion. The crater’s existence as a natural enclosure means it boasts one of the densest populations of large mammals and lions across Africa. During your game drive, you’ll stop for a replenishing picnic while inside the crater.

Once your safari game drive has concluded, you’ll check out of the lodge and transfer to your next accommodation within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you arrive at your next accommodation, you will be greeted by Maasai warriors and taken on a 20-minute walk to a nearby kopje (a small, isolated hill) to admire the setting sun tinge the southern Serengeti plains a deep red.


Accommodation: Olduvai Camp (or alternative hotel of equal standard).

Spend the morning exploring the wilderness of the Grumeti Game Reserve during an immersive walking safari.

Departing the lodge on foot with a local guide and armed ranger, you’ll walk through the reserve to learn about its bird and insect species, track animals and discover the cultural and medicinal uses of some of the indigenous plants that grow here. Placing you right in the heart of the African bush, a walking safari enables you to soak up the evocative sights, sounds and smells of Africa on a much deeper level than a game drive, enabling you to come closer to species that would otherwise be spooked by the grumble of an approaching 4x4 safari vehicle.

After your walking safari, which will last for approximately 1hr 30 mins, you’ll return to the lodge for a delicious bush breakfast by the Grumeti River before spending time at leisure between breakfast and lunch.

In the afternoon, you can choose to relax at the lodge and enjoy its facilities or head back out into the reserve on a safari activity. As evening falls, you’ll sit down for an early dinner before departing for an exciting nighttime game drive, allowing you to glimpse some of the curious species which emerge after the sun has set.


Accommodation: Grumeti Hills (or alternative hotel of equal standard).

The next six days are yours to do as little or as much with as you like while luxuriating in Zanzibar.

Unwind on a stunning white-sand beach, swim or snorkel in impossibly clear waters, enjoy sailing across the coast aboard a traditional dhow boat, or head to Stone Town, Zanzibar's UNESCO-listed capital that is home to warren-like streets and a mishmash of cultural influences including Swahili, Arabian, Persian, Indian and European.


Accommodation: Matemwe Attitude (or alternative hotel of equal standard).
