Serengeti Safari & Zanzibar Beach — 9-Day Dream
Big Five on the savanna + barefoot luxury on the beach
Tour Overview
This 9-day itinerary is Tanzania's most popular — and most rewarding — travel experience. Start with 4 nights in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater for world-class Big Five safari, then fly to Zanzibar for 4 nights of Indian Ocean bliss. The contrast is extraordinary — from the vast golden savanna teeming with wildlife to the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of Zanzibar. Between the Serengeti's predator action, the Ngorongoro Crater's natural amphitheatre, and Zanzibar's spice-scented streets and beach resort luxury, this trip has everything. We've been perfecting this itinerary for over a decade — and it never disappoints.
