10 Days - Tanzania Great Migration Safari & Zanzibar Escape

Guests arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and are met by Serengeti Steppe Travels for a private transfer to Arusha. After check-in, the afternoon is free to relax following international travel.

In the evening, meet your driver-guide for a safari briefing covering migration strategy, route planning, and what to expect over the coming days. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

After breakfast, depart toward Tarangire, known for vast elephant herds and towering baobab trees. Upon entering the park, begin a full-day game drive along river systems and open plains where wildlife gathers.

Lunch is enjoyed picnic-style inside the park before continuing to explore marshlands and acacia woodland in the afternoon. Exit the park later in the day and drive to the lodge for dinner and overnight.

Wake early and depart after breakfast for the long but scenic drive toward the Serengeti via the Ngorongoro Highlands.

After entering the park, stop for lunch before continuing on an afternoon game drive through predator-rich plains and granite kopjes. Lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are frequently encountered in this region.

Arrive at camp before sunset for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast, drive north through changing ecosystems toward prime migration corridors near major river systems.

Game viewing focuses on tracking herd movement, scanning riverbanks for crocodiles, and watching predator activity across open plains. Lunch is taken in the field while continuing the search for wildlife.

Late afternoon arrival at camp allows time to settle in before dinner and overnight close to migration routes.

Begin the day with an early-morning game drive when wildlife is most active. After breakfast, start the journey south using a different route to explore fresh terrain.

This corridor is known for cheetah hunting grounds, rocky outcrops favored by lions, and leopard-rich riverine woodland. Enjoy lunch en route and continue game viewing through the afternoon.

Return to camp in time for sunset drinks and dinner.

After an early departure, travel toward the Ngorongoro highlands and descend into the crater for a morning game drive across grasslands, lakes, and swamp areas.

Search for black rhino, large lion prides, elephants, hippos, and dense herds of grazing animals. Picnic lunch is enjoyed on the crater floor before ascending and transferring to the airstrip for a scheduled flight to Zanzibar.

On arrival, meet your coastal representative and transfer to a beachfront hotel for overnight.

After breakfast, transfer north along the island to the white-sand beaches of Nungwi.

The remainder of the day is free to relax by the ocean, swim in turquoise waters, or enjoy optional water activities such as snorkeling, diving, or dhow sailing at sunset.

Overnight at the beach resort.

After breakfast, drive south toward Stone Town, Zanzibar’s atmospheric historic quarter and UNESCO-listed heritage area.

Depending on interest, enjoy a guided walking tour through narrow streets, bustling markets, historic mosques, and waterfront palaces. The afternoon is free for souvenir shopping or relaxing at a café overlooking the harbor.

Overnight at a heritage-style hotel along the seafront.

After breakfast, transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for onward travel, marking the end of your safari and beach adventure with Serengeti Steppe Travels.
