4-Day Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar – Big Cats & Big Landscapes

Begin your journey with a scenic morning flight from Zanzibar Airport (ZNZ) to Arusha Airport (ARK). Your safari guide will be waiting to welcome you for a direct drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its towering baobab trees, massive elephant herds, and diverse wildlife along the Tarangire River.

Spend the day on a thrilling game drive, spotting giraffes, lions, zebras, and more. In the evening, head to your luxury lodge in Karatu for a warm dinner and rest.

After breakfast, your journey continues as we head toward the legendary Serengeti National Park. The drive passes through the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, offering scenic views and potential wildlife encounters along the way. By the afternoon, you’ll reach Central Serengeti, where your first game drive in the park awaits. This region is teeming with wildlife and especially known for its predator population—including lions, leopards, and cheetahs. After an exciting game viewing session, settle into your luxurious lodge for dinner and overnight rest.

Spend a full day immersed in the wildlife-rich plains of Central Serengeti, particularly the Seronera Valley, a hotspot for predator activity. This region offers year-round game viewing thanks to its reliable water sources and diverse habitats, which support large populations of herbivores and the predators that follow them. From open savannahs to riverine forests, you’ll experience varied landscapes and countless wildlife encounters throughout the day. Enjoy lunch in the bush or at the lodge, followed by more exploration until evening.

After an early breakfast, depart Serengeti and travel toward the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Upon arrival, descend 600 meters into the caldera for a half-day game drive in one of Africa’s most stunning and wildlife-rich environments. The crater floor is home to the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo—as well as flamingos, hippos, hyenas, and many more species. Following a picnic lunch by a scenic hippo pool, continue your game drive before making your way to Kilimanjaro International Airport in the afternoon. From there, board your return flight to Zanzibar, bringing your unforgettable adventure to a perfect close.
