Accommodation

Dinner and overnight at Tembo House Hotel & Apartments.

• Visitors love Nungwi, which has one of the most beautiful beaches on Zanzibar Island. It is also one of the best places from which to watch the sunset.
• This was once a major boat-building center, where traditional wooden sailing boats called dhows were made. While you are here, you can also learn about turtle conservation.

Dinner and overnight at Amaan Beach Bungalows.

• Arusha is an essential part of safari life in northern Tanzania, and most travelers pass through here at some stage. Whether you are on your way out on safari or staying a little longer, you will catch a glimpse of streets filled with energy, color, and plenty of culture.

Dinner and overnight at Kibo Palace Hotel.

• Explore one of Tanzania's most rewarding national parks on this 12-day Tanzania and Zanzibar holiday, a land of big baobab trees, big elephants, and big cats. It is no wonder that Tarangire becomes a favorite park in Tanzania for many visitors.
• Sightings of wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, baboons, vervet monkeys, and zebras are also almost guaranteed. Lions are plentiful here - Tarangire is home to one of Tanzania's healthiest lion populations.
• While you may have to work a little harder to see a cheetah or leopard, that only adds to the excitement when you do. You can also look forward to classic safari scenery, including savannah plains, river woodlands, and rocky hills.

Dinner and overnight at Heart & Soul Lodge Manyara.

• Vast Lake Natron, in Tanzania's far north near the Kenya-Tanzania border, is an incredible destination. It is home to flocks of pink flamingos, and the views here can be spectacular, especially near the lake's southern end, where you will see the stunning, perfectly formed volcanic peak of Ol Doinyo Lengai.

Dinner and overnight at Africa Safari Lake Natron.

Dinner and overnight at Mara Kati Kati Tented Lodge.

• When people dream of the Serengeti, it is probably the Central Serengeti they are imagining. That is because you are in the perfect place to see all that the Serengeti has to offer, and this is the area of the park where wildlife is present in the greatest numbers. It is also filled with acacia trees and those Serengeti horizons that seem to go on forever.
• Balloon safari, Northern Serengeti National Park.
• Up above it all, you will enjoy some of the best views imaginable when you join us on our balloon safari. As you drift high above the earth, you will feel like you can touch the far horizon.
• Bush breakfast, Northern Serengeti National Park.
• Join us for one of the most memorable meals you can imagine when we take you out for a bush breakfast. It is perfectly safe, but you will feel the thrill of being out in the wild. We also choose the location carefully to make sure you have a lovely view.

Dinner and overnight at Kon Tiki Serengeti Camp.

• You will learn why magical Ngorongoro is unlike anywhere else in Africa. Cloud forests encircle the crater rim, and the view across the caldera of this former volcano - quite apart from the altitude - will leave you gasping for air. Your drive down a steep trail takes you onto the crater floor, where a unique wildlife experience is added to the sheer beauty of the landscape.
• You will share the sunken ecosystem of the crater floor with hyenas, lions, elephants, black rhinos, and hippos. This is an ecosystem that has formed in the crater over the millennia since the volcano unleashed its terrible fury upon the land. It could well be one of your best safari days ever. Today marks the end of your safari with us.
• Although it is time to say goodbye, we know you will leave as new friends and take with you many happy and amazing memories. We look forward to welcoming you back again one day.
