14-Day Grand Northern Tanzania & Zanzibar

Destination: Arusha Meet the Tamri International team on arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport or Arusha Airport and transfer to your hotel. This first day is deliberately light so you can recover from the international journey, review the route with the safari team and confirm luggage, dietary and flight details. If arrival is early, a gentle optional Arusha activity can be arranged, but the itinerary does not force a long park transfer on the same day.

Night accommodation: Rivertrees Country Inn or Forest Hill Hotel

Destination: Tarangire Leave Arusha after breakfast and drive to Tarangire National Park. After entry formalities, begin a game drive among baobab woodland, open savannah and the Tarangire River system. The park is especially well known for elephants, while giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, antelope and predators are also possible. The day allows time for a picnic or lodge lunch before continuing wildlife viewing toward the overnight property.

Night accommodation: Sangaiwe Tented Lodge or Maramboi Tented Lodge

Destination: Tarangire Spend a second day in Tarangire so the safari is not reduced to a quick transit stop. The guide can explore different river loops and woodland areas, adjusting the route to wildlife movement and season. A slower day is useful for elephant behaviour, birding and photography, and it also gives guests time to enjoy the lodge between game drives if preferred.

Night accommodation: Sangaiwe Tented Lodge or Maramboi Tented Lodge

Destination: Tarangire / Ngorongoro Enjoy a final Tarangire wildlife drive before leaving the park and travelling toward Karatu and the Ngorongoro highlands. The shorter transfer creates a more relaxed day than driving directly to Serengeti, and it positions the group well for the crater the next morning. Arrive at the lodge with time for dinner and rest.

Night accommodation: The Retreat at Ngorongoro or Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Destination: Ngorongoro / Serengeti Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a morning safari, then continue west through the conservation area toward Serengeti. This is a full day combining a major wildlife experience with an onward transfer, so pacing is important. After entering Serengeti, wildlife viewing continues en route to the overnight camp. Exact arrival depends on crater timing, gate procedures and road conditions.

Night accommodation: Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge or Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge

Destination: Serengeti Spend a complete day exploring the central Serengeti, using early morning and late afternoon conditions for strong wildlife opportunities. The guide follows current animal movement rather than a rigid circuit, with time around kopjes, river valleys and open plains. Lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and large plains-game herds are possible, but no specific sighting is guaranteed. Lunch can be taken in the field or at camp according to the day plan.

Destination: Serengeti / Zanzibar Transfer from camp to the appropriate Serengeti airstrip and fly to Zanzibar on a scheduled light-aircraft service. On arrival, meet the island transfer team and continue to your confirmed beach hotel. The afternoon is intentionally unstructured so the pace changes naturally from safari to coast. Flight routing and baggage restrictions vary by carrier and are reconfirmed before travel.

Night accommodation: Breezes Beach Club & Spa or Zanzibar Bay Resort

Destination: Zanzibar Enjoy an unhurried day on Zanzibar with time for the beach, pool and hotel facilities. Optional activities such as a reef excursion, spice experience, Stone Town walk, sunset cruise or cultural visit can be added according to interests, tides and weather. Keeping genuine free time after safari is part of the design; the island section should feel restorative rather than like another tightly scheduled tour.

Night accommodation: Breezes Beach Club & Spa or Zanzibar Bay Resort

Destination: Zanzibar Combine a guided Stone Town experience with relaxed time on the coast. The historic centre introduces Zanzibar's Swahili, Arab, Indian and African layers through narrow streets, markets and old buildings, while an optional spice-farm visit can be added if desired. Activities are paced around heat, tides and transfer time so the day remains enjoyable rather than overloaded.
