Four days combining the endless Serengeti plains with the Ngorongoro Crater — arguably Tanzania’s two finest wildlife areas. You fly in from Zanzibar, spend two nights in the Serengeti, then descend the crater before flying back.
Expect big cats and, in season, the great migration on the Serengeti, then Big Five density in the crater. Flights, vehicle, lodges/camp, meals, park and crater fees, and your guide are included.
4-Day Serengeti & Ngorongoro Safari from Zanzibar takes you through Tanzania's most celebrated national parks. Each day is a different landscape, a different wildlife encounter.

How does a safari from Zanzibar work?
You fly by light aircraft from Zanzibar to an airstrip near the park, game-drive with your guide, and fly back to the coast — so you keep your beach base and still see Tanzania’s wildlife.
-
Are the flights included in the price?
Yes. The return light-aircraft flights between Zanzibar and the safari airstrip are part of the package, along with park fees, transfers, and meals as listed.
-
Can I add this safari before or after a beach stay?
Yes — most guests combine it with a Zanzibar holiday. We can book your beach nights and slot the safari in seamlessly.
-
Can I customise the itinerary?
Absolutely. Swap parks, add nights, or upgrade the lodges. Tell us what you want to see and we build it around you.
-
What animals will I see?
The northern parks are strong for the Big Five and big cats; the southern parks (Mikumi, Nyerere/Selous) add elephants, hippos, and wild dogs. Sightings vary by season and luck.
-
What is the best time to go?
The dry season (July–September) is prime for wildlife, and December to mid-March is also excellent. We advise on the calving and migration timing if that’s your focus.
Photo gallery will be added soon.
