Tanzania & zanzibar - Trip Summary
A customized 7-day Tanzania tour begins with our arrival at Kilimanjaro, followed by lunch in Arusha, Tanzania’s tourism capital. From there, we head to Lake Manyara, one of the Great Rift Valley lakes, before exploring the expansive Serengeti Reserve, where we’ll enjoy thrilling safari tours and unique wildlife sightings. We conclude with a relaxing resort stay in Zanzibar, the dreamy Spice Island, known for its golden beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
This captivating safari in Tanzania offers more than vast landscapes and stunning sunsets. It’s a journey back in time, where humans once coexisted with nature in harmony, as part of a magnificent circle of life among plants, herbivores, predators, and disappearing tribal cultures. Ending with a tropical escape in Zanzibar is the perfect finale—a paradise with white sandy beaches, blue waters, and a rich cultural heritage. The tour is accompanied by an experienced English-speaking safari driver/guide in comfortable 4×4 Land Cruiser vehicles, ensuring a memorable adventure tailored to your pace and style.
