Arrival in Arusha,
Gateway to the Safaris

Karibu! Welcome to Tanzania. From your first steps on the tarmac at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), your private guide, recognizable by their personalized sign, will be there to greet you with a warm smile.

The journey begins. Enjoy a comfortable transfer to your lodge, your first stop on this safari, for an immersion into the lush landscapes of the Arusha region, nestled at the foot of Mount Meru. Your evening will be devoted to relaxation and a thorough briefing with your guide.

Tarangire and its
Giant Baobabs

After breakfast, your private guide heads toward Tarangire National Park. Aboard your open-roof 4x4, you'll discover a spectacular landscape, renowned for its ancient baobabs and the vast herds of elephants that made it famous.

Your safari will focus around the river, a true magnet for wildlife where zebras, wildebeest, and predators come to drink. At midday, enjoy an unforgettable picnic lunch in the heart of the bush. You'll reach your lodge in the late afternoon, soaking in the golden light over the savanna.

En Route to the Heart
of the Serengeti

This morning, the adventure takes on a new dimension as you leave the Tarangire region to reach Africa's most legendary park: the Serengeti. The drive itself is a spectacle, crossing the fertile highlands of Karatu and the grand landscapes of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

As you approach the endless plains, you'll feel the sheer scale of this unique ecosystem. Your 4x4's roof stays open so you won't miss a moment of the ever-present wildlife show. Your expert guide will take you toward the central Seronera region, known for its high concentration of predators. In the late afternoon, you'll arrive at your tented camp for a magical evening, close to the sounds of the African savanna.

the Serengeti

This day is entirely devoted to exploring the legendary Serengeti National Park. Accompanied by your expert guide, you'll follow the trails in search of the most spectacular wildlife scenes. Depending on the season, they'll take you as close as possible to the herds of the Great Migration, a unique natural spectacle unlike anywhere else in the world.

The search for the great predators will be at the heart of your safari: lions, cheetahs, and leopards rule these endless plains. A picnic lunch out in the bush will add an unforgettable touch of adventure to your day.

Descending into the
Ngorongoro Crater

After one last morning safari to bid farewell to the Serengeti, you'll set off toward another of Tanzania's wonders: the incredible Ngorongoro Crater. This drive will treat you to spectacular views from the volcano's rim before the dramatic descent.

You'll plunge 600 meters deep into the world's largest intact caldera, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's one of the best places on the planet to spot the Big Five in a single day, with excellent chances of encountering the highly protected black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the shore of Lake Magadi, home to flocks of flamingos.

Flying to the Spice Island,
Zanzibar

Enjoy one last breakfast in the heart of the bush, listening one final time to the sounds of the wild that has surrounded you. It's time to say goodbye to your guide before taking the scenic road to Arusha Airport.

Today the adventure transforms: you leave the land of lions for that of the sultans. Watch through the window as the continent fades away, giving way to the endless shades of blue of the Indian Ocean. On the Spice Island, a new driver will greet you for your transfer to your seaside hotel. Set down your bags — the white sand and turquoise waters await.

Leisure & Turquoise
Waters

Your first full day of relaxation in Zanzibar begins. Wake up to the gentle sound of the waves and enjoy breakfast facing the vastness of the Indian Ocean. Today's plan is simple: adopt the local rhythm, the famous "pole pole" (slowly, slowly).

Zanzibar's magnificent beaches are yours to enjoy, with sand as fine as flour and waters revealing an incredible gradient of blues. Relax on a lounge chair with a good book, swim in the warm, crystal-clear waters, or take a long walk along the shore watching the "dhows," the traditional boats gliding along the horizon.

Dive into history with a visit to Stone Town, the island's UNESCO World Heritage core, with its labyrinthine alleys and carved wooden doors. For a more sensory experience, opt for a "Spice Tour" at a spice farm. If the call of the deep blue is stronger, a snorkeling trip will let you explore the coral reefs, a true tropical aquarium bursting with a thousand colors.

Final Moments
on the Island

Here is your last full day in paradise, a moment to soak up one final time the particular sweetness of life in Zanzibar. The schedule is free: one last swim in the warm, translucent waters of the Indian Ocean, a nap in the shade of a coconut tree, or a search for the most beautiful shell during a long walk on the warm sand.

Later in the day, don't miss the daily yet always unique spectacle of the Zanzibar sunset. Settle in comfortably, feet in the sand with a fresh fruit cocktail, and watch the sky blaze with flamboyant colors.

Departure

All good things come to an end, and this last morning is here to be savored gently. Take time for one final breakfast facing the Indian Ocean, remembering the flavors and colors of your stay in Zanzibar. Depending on your flight time, the morning is free: one last dip in the turquoise waters, a short walk to pick up some local handicraft souvenirs, or simply sitting on the white sand.

When the time comes, your driver will take you to your transfer to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ). It's time to say goodbye — but not farewell. You'll board your return flight, your head and heart filled with unforgettable images: the majesty of a Tarangire elephant, the vastness of the Serengeti, and the serenity of Zanzibar's beaches. This isn't the end of a journey, but the beginning of memories of Tanzania that will last a lifetime.

For optimal wildlife viewing, the long dry season from June to October is unmatched. Vegetation is low and animals gather near water sources, making for exceptionally rewarding safaris.

For lush green landscapes and the magic of newborns, the period from January to March is exceptional, especially in the southern Serengeti (Ndutu). It's the ideal time for photographers and for witnessing the intense activity of predators.

To avoid the crowds and enjoy attractive rates, the rainy seasons (March to May and November-December) transform the landscape into a lush garden. These periods offer a more intimate experience of Tanzania.
