8-Day Night Zanzibar Beach Safari

Drive to Tarangire National Park (approx. 2.5 hours), known for its massive elephant herds and ancient baobab trees. Spend the day on game drives spotting lions, giraffes, and diverse birdlife. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush before heading to your safari lodge for a sunset view and hearty dinner.

Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife-rich volcanic caldera that offers one of the best chances to see the Big Five in one day. Enjoy a full-day game drive with lunch by a hippo pool. In the evening, ascend to the crater rim or nearby Karatu for overnight at a scenic lodge.

After breakfast, transfer to Arusha Airport for your domestic flight to Zanzibar. Upon arrival, a driver will take you to your selected beach resort on the island’s east or north coast. Check in, relax by the ocean, and enjoy your first taste of coastal Swahili hospitality.

Spend the day at your leisure — swim in the warm Indian Ocean, lounge by the pool, or explore the beachside villages. Optional activities like snorkeling, kayaking, or spa treatments can be arranged directly at your resort.

After breakfast, you may opt for a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history, culture, and architecture. Pair it with a Zanzibar spice tour, where you’ll learn about cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, and other famous island exports. Return to the beach by evening.

Today you can enjoy optional water-based adventures such as a dolphin safari in Kizimkazi, a sunset dhow cruise, or snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll, one of the best marine spots in East Africa. Or simply enjoy another relaxing beach day with fine coastal cuisine.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and final swim before your transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your onward flight home or next destination. You leave refreshed, with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s bush and beach.
