This exclusive 11 Days Tanzania Migration and Zanzibar Safari delivers a high-quality wildlife and beach holiday experience without breaking the bank. It offers the opportunity to see Africa’s iconic wildlife including the wildebeest and the big five in the plains of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater and an unforgettable tropical beach experience in Zanzibar.
The 11 Days Tanzania Migration and Zanzibar Safari begins with an easy night at a riverside lodge just outside Arusha to prepare you for your adventure. Then you’ll travel to Tanzania’s must-see Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti, giving you the opportunity to tick off the Big 5 and witness vast herds of wildebeest and zebra.
Your Ngorongoro accommodation is set along the crater rim itself, offering breath-taking views, while your Serengeti lodge is a mobile affair that is set up in different locations along the Wildebeest Migration path, placing you at the centre of the action.
Your next excursion of the 11 Days Tanzania Migration and Zanzibar Safari will have you swap the champaign-coloured grasslands of the Serengeti for the white sand of Zanzibar’s north-west coast, where you’ll spend four nights at a tucked-away spa resort.
