15 Day Highlights of Kenya & Tanzania – Accommodated Scheduled Safari

Day 1–3 Zanzibar Excursion, Tanzania

A local ferry takes us from Dar es Salaam to Zanzibar and transfer to Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, where we will spend the first night; there’s time to explore the historical and unique architecture, once famous for the slave and spice trade routes with a spice tour included.
From here, we make our way to the beach areas and have the opportunity to join some of the many attractions on offer – from watersporks along with ocean safari options. Rent a scooter or simply relax on the beach and listen to the waves of the ocean lap on the shore

Day 4 Bagamoyo, Tanzania

We board the ferry and return to Dar es Saleem, from here we drive north to Bagamoyo to overnight – depending on the time of arrival there may be time for an optional activity

Day 5 Arusha, Tanzania

 The town of Arusha is surrounded by some of African most famous landscapes and national parks and launching point for our following days to explore the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our accommodation tonight is on the border of the national park – climb the viewing tower and see what animals you can spot from here.

Day 6 Karatu, Tanzania

The journey can be a little slow as we travel today and make our way to Karatu but it puts us in a prime position for the days’ ahead and our guide will brief us this evening on the upcoming adventure

Day 7 Seronera, Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti National Park 

An early start as we are collected from our camp and make our way in 4x4 safari style vehicles to make our way to the crater floor in search of some of the wildlife found here – from herds of elephants, to plains game including plentiful gazelle, zebra and giraffe.  Watch out for predators including big cats such as lion, cheetah and serval.  We spend the night in the heart of the Serengeti and as you watch the sunset, listen to the calls of the animals
