Journey Inspiration
Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar
The plains, the crater and an island to finish.
Where
Tanzania
Possible duration
10 to 14 days
Best time
June to October, January to February
It may suit
First safaris, honeymoons and families.
The idea
Northern Tanzania in a natural sequence: Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, then a short flight to Zanzibar.
This is an example of what we can create, not a fixed itinerary. The places, the length and the kind of stay all change with the traveller.
How it might unfold
The shape of the journey.
We show the shape of a journey rather than a day by day list. The detail comes once we know you.
Lake Manyara
One night. A gentle first game drive, and lions that climb trees.
Serengeti
Three or four nights. The great plains, with the Migration for much of the year.
Ngorongoro
One or two nights. A day on the crater floor, with Oldupai Gorge on the way.
Zanzibar
Three to five nights. Stone Town, a spice tour and the beach.
Make it yours
Ways this journey often changes.
Begin with Kilimanjaro on foot. Add the quieter southern parks. Start in the Mara and cross the border.
