9 Days Tanzania Bush and Beach Safari

After breakfast at your accommodation, your exciting excursion begins. With a picnic lunch, you will drive to Arusha National Park, one of Northern Tanzania's smallest parks but one with an abundance of options for wildlife viewing. It takes around 1h45m to drive from Arusha to the park, and once you arrive, your guide will locate an ideal location for you to admire the picturesque views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa. Treat yourself with a good view of the Ngurdoto crater famously known as “mini Ngorongoro”, the Momella and Tululisa lakes, the Fig tree arch together with a variety of wildlife species like buffaloes, warthogs, elephants, birds, and good number of primates.

You will have lunch in one of the picnic sites close to Momella lake with the beautiful vista of hippos and water birds. After lunch you will continue search for game viewing opportunities in other parts of the park.

You will travel to a Maasai Boma this morning after breakfast to spend "a day in Maasai Boma." As you come to know the locals, you'll take part in everyday tasks including renovating their homes, milking cows, and dressing traditionally. You will discover the traditions and behaviours of one of the most genuine communities in East Africa, including their music, food, and day-to-day routines.

After that, you'll head to Mto wa Mbu for a hearty local lunch that offers a great chance to sample Tanzanian cuisine. To add a distinctive taste of the area, try a local banana beer.

You will make your way to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay after lunch.

After breakfast you will depart with picnic lunch and heard to Ngorongoro crater. Explore wildlife in the self-contained ecosystem of Ngorongoro crater.

This is a land of multiple uses where wild animals and human beings have managed to co-exist together in harmony. You will have game drive to search for various animals from endangered black rhinos, lions, buffaloes, elephants, gazelles, warthogs, hippos, zebras, waterbucks, hyenas, jackals, to large flocks of flamingos along Lake Magadi. In the afternoon you will ascend the crater and drive to Serengeti National Park via Ngorongoro conservation Area.

While waiting for your guide to complete the gate formalities, you can climb up a giant kopje to get a better view of the vast savanna that extends to the horizon. These large rocks serve as habitat for various species of flora and wildlife that are unique to these strange-looking stone formations. You will get to the camp in good time for check-in and rest a bit before dinner.

Today after breakfast is another day for a great adventure in Serengeti National Park, home to all five of the Big Five. You may decide to go for optional Balloon ride in the midst of the endless plain which end with breakfast in the bush.

Talk to your guide on what you want to see as every area of the Serengeti has something special to offer. Whether it's witnessing a rhino amble through the bush near Kopjes, spying on a wild dog, or gasping as you watch a huge cat hunt its meal. You will go back to the camp for lunch then head out again for an afternoon game drive at around 15:00. You will enjoy the sunset as you drive back to the camp during the evening for dinner and overnight.

You will go to Seronera Airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar after breakfast. As soon as you get in Zanzibar, you'll be taken to the hotel for the night. Savour the breathtaking vista of Zanzibar Island's magnificent beaches.

Dinner at your convenience.

You will be in charge these two days and can schedule any activity you want to do near the beach. There are several activities available at this stunning beach, such as parasailing, diving excursions, and walking tours. Numerous activities, including diving, snorkelling, village excursions, and more, are organised by the lodge and can be reserved and paid for separately. Lunch will be on your own since the resort is only reserved for half board.

Depending on the time of your flight, you will travel to the airport after breakfast in order to catch your journey home.
