6 Days Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Zanzibar Beach Escape
The perfect mix of Tanzania safari wildlife and Zanzibar island relaxation — elephants and baobabs followed by beaches, spice tours, and ocean adventures.
About this Safari
This 6-day itinerary perfectly captures the two great draws of Tanzania: world-class wildlife and Indian Ocean paradise. After two days in the wild — seeing elephants, lions, rhinos, and the Big Five in Tarangire and Ngorongoro — you fly to Zanzibar for three days of island discovery. Zanzibar offers Jozani Forest with its rare Red Colobus monkeys, the legendary Safari Blue full-day dhow trip with snorkeling and fresh seafood, and a guided Stone Town walk through UNESCO-listed alleys and historic carved doors. This is the ideal itinerary for couples and travelers who want both adventure and relaxation.
A 6-day package combining Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and a beach escape in Zanzibar offers the ideal blend of wildlife and relaxation. Begin with wildlife experiences in Tarangire and Ngorongoro, then fly to Zanzibar for spice tours, ocean adventures, Jozani Forest, and the historic Stone Town.
