The 9-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday is a nine-day itinerary from Arusha through Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, ending with a flight to Zanzibar for three nights of beach time. Priced from US$2,647 per person at mid-range level, it suits travellers pairing a classic northern-circuit road safari with the coast.
Which Destinations Does This Safari Visit?
- Arusha (Day 1): arrival and overnight before the safari begins.
- Tarangire National Park (Day 2): famous for large elephant herds and giant baobab trees.
- Lake Manyara National Park (Day 3): beautiful scenery, forests, rich birdlife and possible sightings of tree-climbing lions.
- Serengeti National Park (Days 4–5): game drives across endless plains in search of lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras and wildebeests, with a seasonal chance of witnessing part of the Great Migration.
- Ngorongoro Crater (Day 6): one of Tanzania's most remarkable wildlife areas, home to a high concentration of animals including lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, hyenas and the endangered black rhino, before the flight to the island.

Who Is This Safari For?
This nine-day route suits couples, families, honeymooners and small groups who want the full northern circuit — four parks rather than three — before relaxing on the coast. It is a strong choice for first-time visitors to the wilderness of Tanzania who prefer varied landscapes, from savannah plains and crater views to tropical beaches, in one carefully sequenced journey.
