8 Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach

Descriptions :

We experience the best that Tanzania has to offer over the course of this 8-day safari and beach vacation. We travel to Tarangire National Park, famous for its herds of elephants and recognizable Baobab trees. We also go to Ngorongoro Crater, the best location in Tanzania to see the Big Five and a breathtakingly beautiful setting. After our safari, we take a flight to Zanzibar, where the Indian Ocean’s white sand beaches and warm turquoise waters are waiting.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport

A Velam Safaris representative will pick you up at the airport and drive you to your lodging in Arusha, where you will spend the night, unwind, and get ready for the adventures ahead. Arusha Planet Lodge is a haven of peace and beauty.
Day 2 - Tarangire National Park

Our private safari guide will pick you up from your accommodations in Arusha in the morning. We traveled across gently rolling Masai plains with sporadic acacia trees toward Tarangire National Park. We pass many Masai in their vibrant clothing walking along the side of the road, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and pulling donkey carts as we speed along. Numerous other animals can be found in the Tarangire National Park, which is well known for its sizable elephant herds. We explore the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River from the open roof of our safari jeep in an effort to spot a variety of animals, including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name a few. We might catch a glimpse of lions pursuing prey or leopards unwinding in the trees above. We drive to one of our mid-range partner lodges for dinner in a classy restaurant and a most spacious room to harbor our comfort and dreams of wild cats after our lengthy game drive.
Day 3 - Ngorongoro Crater

Get up and shine! We leave early today to travel to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area's verdant highlands. Our destination this morning is the well-known Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa's seven wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Following our arrival at the crater rim, we descend a narrow, steep path into the 600-meter-deep caldera where we can see a variety of wildlife, grasslands, birds, and a lake. Over 25,000 mammals, including some of the region's more than 500 bird species and the "Big Five," can be found on the enormous collapsed volcano. We will drive you to your hotel in Karatu for dinner and the night after a long game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater.
Day 4 - Lake Manyara to Stone Town

After breakfast, you will drive to your final destination on this epic safari - Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park’s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After lunch, you will head back to Arusha, where you will arrive in the late afternoon where you will take your flight to Zanzibar.
Day 5-7 Zanzibar North Coast Explore & Relax

You'll be taken to Nungwi. This sprawling community at the northernmost point of Zanzibar Island was formerly well-known as a center for dhow construction. Today, it's a popular tourist destination in part because of the gorgeous beach and breathtaking sunsets. The end result is a setting where traditional and modern styles collide fiercely. The main draws here are diving, snorkeling, fishing, and other water activities. Most frequently dived sites from Nungwi are along the east coast, at Mnemba Island, and at reefs close to Tumbatu Island. The tidal pattern and local geography of Nungwi make swimming possible at any time. Other options include yoga, cycling, and village tours with a guide.
Day 8 Free Morning & Departure

Today is the final day of our adventure. Breakfast is served and savored at our hotel. Transfer to the airport or seaport according to the time of your departure back home or onwards replete with images and memories of our magical adventure.
