\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDuring this 8-day safari & beach holiday, we enjoy the best that Tanzania has to offer. We visit Tarangire National Park well known for its elephant families and iconic Baobab trees. We also visit Ngorongoro Crater, a breathtakingly beautiful setting and the best place in Tanzania to see the Big Five. After our safari, we fly to Zanzibar where warm turquoise waters and the white sand beaches upon the Indian Ocean await.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Day 2: Tarangire National Park<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

In the morning you will be collected from your lodgings in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park across gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we pass many Masai in their colorful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkeys carts. Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our safari jeep, we experience the seasonal swamps, savanna, and life-giving Tarangire River endeavoring to encounter a multitude of creatures from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name but a few. It is possible we will glimpse lions stalking prey or leopards relaxing in the trees above. After our extensive game drive, we depart to drive to one of our midrange partner lodges for dinner in a tasteful restaurant and a most capacious room to harbor our ease and dreams of wild cats!<\/p>

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Rise and shine! It\u2019s an early departure for us today to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This morning\u2019s destination is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of the seven wonders of Africa, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once we have reached the crater rim, we descend the steep track into the 600m deep caldera to see a range of animals, grasslands, birds, and a lake. The massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the \u201cBig Five\u201d to spotted hyenas and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we will head to your hotel in Karatu where you will have dinner and overnight.<\/p>

Day 4: Lake Manyara to Zanzibar (Stone Town)<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

After breakfast, you will drive to your final destination on this epic safari \u2013 Lake Manyara National Park. This is a relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha. The park\u2019s namesake is a shallow, salt lake. It covers a large area of the park, flooding and drying with the seasons, and is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. On your exploration of the park, you will see monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, elephants, and with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After lunch, you will head back to Arusha, where you will arrive in the late afternoon where you will take your flight to Zanzibar.<\/p>

Main destinations: Lake Manyara<\/strong><\/p>

Accommodations: The retreat hotel Zanzibar<\/strong><\/p>

Day 5 - 7: Zanzibar North Coast Explore & Relax<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

You will transfer to Nungwi. This large village at Zanzibar Island\u2019s northernmost tip was once best known as a dhow-building center. Today it\u2019s a major tourist destination, thanks in part to the beautiful beach and stunning sunsets. The result: a place where traditional and modern knocks against each other with full force. Diving, snorkeling, fishing, and other water sports are the main attraction here. From Nungwi, frequented dive sites are mainly down the east coast or to Mnemba Island and reefs near Tumbatu Island. For swimmers, Nungwi\u2019s local geography and tidal pattern mean swimming is possible at any time. Other activities available include yoga, cycling, and guided tours of the village.<\/p>

Accommodations: Matemwe resort<\/strong><\/p>
