ABOUT THE ITINERARY
Our Ultimate Tanzania holiday itinerary offers you the unbeatable holiday combination of wild adventure and uninterrupted relaxation.
First comes the adventure. Your safari across Tarangire National Park will bring you close to hunting lions, grazing elephants and huge numbers of indigenous birds. After Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater beckons with its stunning views and incredible concentration of wildlife with over 25,000 animals roaming freely across a 19km wide caldera. However, nothing quite prepares you for the Serengeti. Here, vast herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, numbering a million or more, join the annual migration.
Then it is time to relax on your luxury Tanzania holiday at a wonderful beach resort on the exquisite island of Zanzibar.
KILIMANJARO
Arriving in Kilimanjaro, you will be picked up from the airport and transferred to your hotel situated on a working coffee plantation on the outskirts of Arusha. Boasting gourmet dining, rejuvenating spa treatments and superb views of Mount Meru, it is the perfect spot to recharge after your flight.
Stay: One night at Legendary Lodge
TARANGIRE NATIONAL PARK
On day two, you will be transferred to Little Chem Chem, a collection of five vintage tents with an unbeatable location between Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. An area that boasts a truly staggering concentration of wildlife. On game drives and walking safaris, you can expect to see large herds of elephant, great lion prides, long-necked gerenuks, oddities like the fringe-eared oryx and up to 550 different species of birds.
Stay: Three nights at Little Chem Chem
NGORONGORO CRATER
Your adventure now brings you to the Ngorongoro Highlands, stopping along the way for a picnic and a game drive through Lake Manyara National Park. You will be staying in a traditional guesthouse close to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with great views over the Great Rift Valley.
It is the ideal base for visiting the famous Ngorongoro Crater (the world’s largest intact caldera) with its abundance of wildlife that includes elephant, black rhino, hippo, lion, zebra, buffalo and antelope. As well as an impressive richness of game, the region is known for its spectacularly diverse landscapes and fascinating archaeological remains.
Stay: Two nights atGibbs Farm
SERENGETI
Just when you thought the game-viewing couldn’t get any better, you board a flight to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. If you arrive during migration season you can expect to be overwhelmed by the sight (and sound) of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle making their way across the Serengeti. A jaw-dropping migration thought to be the largest movement of land mammals on Earth.
You will be staying on a private reserve adjacent to the southern Serengeti, a sprawling wilderness home to lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, eland, impala, topi and countless birds. During your stay you will have the option to enjoy a variety of activities including day and night game drives, bush walks, picnics and cultural experiences.
Stay: Three nights at Mwiba Lodge
ZANZIBAR
You now set off to experience something entirely different. A short flight brings you to the serene island of Zanzibar, a historic gem cast into the shimmering Indian Ocean. You’ll spend four nights here at a luxurious resort in the midst of white sand and welcoming turquoise waters.
When you’re not relaxing in your private villa you can stroll along the beautiful beach, soak up some sun by the pool or indulge in a treatment or two at the spa. You will also have access to a wide array of outdoor activities, from sea kayaking and snorkelling to scuba diving, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. Excursions to Stone Town, Prison Island and Jozani Forest can also be arranged.
Stay: Four nights at Mnemba Island

From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
Excellent service throughout, with helpful and kind staff at every stage. When our return flight from Australia via the Middle East was cancelled, the team stepped in quickly to resolve everything, making what could have been a stressful situation feel straightforward and well handled.
