14-Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday

After breakfast at your lodge in Arusha, meet your professional safari guide and depart for Tarangire National Park, about a 2.5-hour scenic drive from Arusha. Known for its vast landscapes dotted with ancient baobab trees and sweeping views of the Tarangire River, the park offers one of the highest concentrations of elephants in Tanzania.

Enjoy a full-day game drive, tracking wildlife like lions, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and a variety of antelope species. Bird lovers will appreciate Tarangire’s impressive birdlife, with over 500 species recorded.

Stop for a picnic lunch in a designated area inside the park, surrounded by nature.

In the late afternoon, exit the park and continue to Lake Manyara, where you'll check in at the beautiful Lake Manyara Kilima Moja Lodge. Perched on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the lodge offers panoramic views of Lake Manyara and the escarpment — the perfect setting to unwind after a day in the wild.

Accommodation

A luxurious lodge with spacious suites, lush gardens, and exceptional views of Lake Manyara National Park.

Meals Included

• Breakfast (Arusha)

• Picnic Lunch (Tarangire)

• Dinner (Lake Manyara Kilima Moja)

After breakfast at Lake Manyara Kilima Moja Lodge, begin your journey toward the legendary Serengeti National Park. The drive takes approximately 5–6 hours, but it’s a scenic adventure through the highlands of Karatu, passing the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and into the vast plains of the Serengeti.

You’ll enter the Serengeti via the Naabi Hill Gate, where you can stretch your legs, take in panoramic views, and perhaps spot your first wildlife before descending into the heart of the park. From here, enjoy a game drive en route to your camp, keeping your eyes open for lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and an abundance of plains game like wildebeest and zebras.

Depending on the season and your location in the Serengeti, your guide may adjust the route to maximize sightings — including possible encounters with the Great Migration (especially from July to October in the northern region, or December to March in the southern plains).

Arrive at your tented camp or lodge in the late afternoon and relax around the campfire before dinner under the stars.

The Serengeti offers some of the most extraordinary wildlife viewing on the planet. Today, you’ll track herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles grazing on the lush grasses, while keeping an eye out for the famous Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.

Your guide will tailor the route based on recent wildlife reports and your interests, whether that means seeking out a cheetah sprinting after prey, observing hyenas at a kill, or photographing giraffes silhouetted against a golden sunset.

Midday, pause for a delicious picnic lunch set in a shaded spot within the park, surrounded by the sounds of nature — birdsong, distant roars, and the whisper of the wind through the grasses.

As the afternoon light softens, continue your game drive before returning to the comfort of Serengeti Explorer Camp. Unwind on your private veranda, refresh with a warm shower, and relax by the campfire. Enjoy a gourmet dinner featuring local and international flavors under the vast African sky.

Tonight, let the tranquility of the bush lull you to sleep, as the distant calls of wildlife create a soundtrack to your unforgettable safari experience.
