Why Choose This Tour? (Who Should Book)

Perfect for families, honeymooners, and comfort-seekers wanting to maximize wildlife time. Skip exhausting drives with this seamless fly-in/fly-out adventure, hitting Tanzania’s "Greatest Hits": Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti.

If you want to maximize your game viewing, this is the best safari itinerary from Zanzibar. The drive from the Serengeti back to Arusha can take over 8 hours. Our itinerary replaces that exhausting journey with a swift flight from Kogatende Airstrip. You effectively trade a day of travel for a day of relaxation or extra game drives in the Central Serengeti.
A Safari Guide with Clients
Perfect for couples and honeymooners, this tour functions as a seamless extension of your Zanzibar beach holiday. Skip the logistical headache of international connections; we pick you up from your beach resort and drop you back 6 days later. It is the ideal way to combine the Big Five with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.
Couples on a beach during the sunset
Safari roads can be bumpy and tiring, often called the "African Massage." By breaking up the drive into short legs (Arusha to Tarangire to Ngorongoro) and flying out of the Serengeti, we minimize physical fatigue. This makes our 6-day package the safest and most comfortable choice for families with children or senior travelers who want to see the wildlife without the endurance test.
