6-Day Zanzibar Holiday & Tanzania Wildlife Escape

After breakfast, enjoy a guided excursion exploring the cultural and historical highlights of Zanzibar. Begin with a Spice Tour, where you will discover why Zanzibar is known as the "Spice Island." Visit local spice farms and learn about cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, cardamom, and other tropical spices. Continue to Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for a walking tour through its narrow streets and historic landmarks. Visit the Old Fort, Darajani Market, Zanzibar doors, and other important cultural sites. Return to your beach resort in the afternoon and enjoy free time by the ocean.

After breakfast, transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your flight to Arusha. Upon arrival in Arusha, meet your safari guide and drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its magnificent baobab trees and large elephant populations. Enjoy an afternoon game drive through the park. Keep your eyes open for elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes, lions, and an impressive variety of birdlife. After the game drive, proceed to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.

Enjoy an early breakfast before departing toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival at the Ngorongoro Crater, descend into the crater for an unforgettable game drive. The crater is one of Tanzania's most spectacular wildlife destinations and supports a remarkable concentration of animals. Look for lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, flamingos, and, with luck, the endangered black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before continuing to your lodge in the Karatu or Ngorongoro Highlands area. Spend the evening relaxing at the lodge and enjoying the surrounding scenery.

After breakfast, begin your journey back toward Arusha. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for a short cultural experience, local market visit, or lunch in Arusha. Transfer to the airport for your flight back to Zanzibar. Upon arrival in Zanzibar, transfer to your beach hotel and enjoy a relaxing evening by the Indian Ocean.

Enjoy your final breakfast in Zanzibar and spend the morning relaxing at the beach or swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Depending on your departure flight time, you may have the opportunity to enjoy a final walk along the beach or purchase souvenirs. Later, check out and transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for your onward flight.
