8-Day Tanzania Bush to Beach Safari
Experience the best of both worlds — the untamed wilderness of Tanzania’s northern parks and the peaceful beaches of Zanzibar. This 8-day safari takes you from iconic game reserves like Tarangire and Ngorongoro to the warm sands and spice-scented breezes of the Indian Ocean. It’s the perfect combination for travelers seeking adventure, relaxation, and romance — all in one unforgettable journey.
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha
Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your Kitawa Safaris driver will warmly welcome you and transfer you to a boutique lodge in Arusha. Rest, enjoy dinner, and prepare for your safari adventure ahead.
Day 2: Arusha – Tarangire National Park
After breakfast, drive to Tarangire National Park, famous for its elephants, baobab trees, and scenic river valleys. Enjoy a full-day game drive with picnic lunch, spotting lions, giraffes, and countless bird species. Evening transfer to your lodge near the park for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Tarangire – Ngorongoro Conservation Area
After breakfast, travel to the Ngorongoro Highlands. Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for an extraordinary day of wildlife viewing — a natural amphitheater filled with elephants, zebras, buffalo, and predators. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the hippo pool before heading to your lodge on the crater rim.
Day 4: Ngorongoro – Arusha – Fly to Zanzibar
After breakfast, drive back to Arusha for your afternoon flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, you’ll be met by your driver and transferred to your beachfront resort. Enjoy a relaxed dinner with an ocean breeze under the stars.
Day 5–7: Zanzibar Beach & Island Adventures
Spend three days soaking up the magic of Zanzibar. Relax on white-sand beaches, swim in turquoise waters, or explore optional excursions such as Stone Town tours, spice plantation visits, snorkeling, or sunset dhow cruises. Evenings are for candlelit dinners and seaside relaxation.
Day 8: Departure
Enjoy your final breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean. Depending on your flight schedule, enjoy a leisurely morning before your transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for your onward journey.
