Tarangire, three nights in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and two nights on the Zanzibar beach.
This is the full northern Tanzania safari with a beach finish. You spend two nights at Tarangire, fly to the Serengeti for three nights, descend into Ngorongoro Crater, and then fly to Zanzibar for two nights on the beach.
It is the most popular long trip in Tanzania for good reason: every stop is different, and the beach comes at the end, when you want it.

Prices are per person, in US dollars, and depend on the number of travellers sharing the vehicle and guide. They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flights depend on the airline schedule and will be confirmed when you enquire. The location of the herds depends on the season.
Best time for this trip Jun to Oct, Dec to Mar
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
