Tailor-made safari

7-Day Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Zanzibar Escape

A thoughtfully designed Tanzania journey, shaped around the way you want to travel.

The journey

A safari with room to feel every moment.

A compact bush-and-beach itinerary that uses Tarangire and Ngorongoro rather than trying to squeeze Serengeti into only a few safari days. The result is less road time and a cleaner transition to Zanzibar.

Route: Arusha -> Tarangire -> Tarangire / Ngorongoro -> Ngorongoro / Arusha -> Arusha / Zanzibar -> Zanzibar

Travel Style: Safari and beach

Best For: Short-stay travellers who want safari highlights without Serengeti driving

Day by day

Follow the rhythm of your safari.

Each day is designed with a gentle balance of movement, discovery and time to simply be in the wild.

Day 01

Arrival in Arusha

Arrival in Arusha
Day 01Arusha

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

Tonight’s stayForest Hill Hotel
Day 02

Arusha to Tarangire National Park

Arusha to Tarangire National Park
Day 02Tarangire

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

Tonight’s staySangaiwe Tented Lodge
Day 03

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Highlands

Tarangire to Ngorongoro Highlands
Day 03Ngorongoro

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

Tonight’s stayNgorongoro Serena Safari Lodge
Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Arusha
Day 04Ngorongoro

Destination: Ngorongoro / Arusha Descend to the Ngorongoro Crater floor for a focused safari among grassland, wetlands and forest patches inside the caldera. The crater supports a dense concentration of wildlife and offers strong opportunities for buffalo, lion, zebra, wildebeest, hippo and, with luck, black rhino. After a picnic lunch and final game drive, climb back to the highlands and continue to Arusha. Driving time varies with traffic, road conditions and the length of the crater visit.

Night accommodation: Rivertrees Country Inn or Forest Hill Hotel

Tonight’s stayForest Hill Hotel
Day 05

Fly from Arusha to Zanzibar

Fly from Arusha to Zanzibar
Day 05Zanzibar

Destination: Arusha / Zanzibar Transfer to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro International Airport for the scheduled flight to Zanzibar. The exact airport and departure time depend on the airline and travel date. After landing, meet the coastal driver and continue to the beach property. No major island excursion is forced onto the arrival day, leaving time to settle in after the safari.

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

Tonight’s stayZanzibar Bay Resort
Day 06

Zanzibar Beach Day

Zanzibar Beach Day
Day 06Zanzibar

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

Tonight’s stayZanzibar Bay Resort
Day 07

Zanzibar Departure

Zanzibar Departure
Day 07Zanzibar

Destination: Zanzibar Enjoy breakfast and free time according to your flight schedule, then transfer to Zanzibar International Airport.
