8 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday

his 8-day adventure beautifully blends Tanzania’s most iconic safari destinations with the serene beaches of Zanzibar. Begin your journey in Tarangire National Park, home to massive elephant herds, towering baobabs, and predators like lions and leopards. Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, a wildlife paradise often called “Africa’s Garden of Eden,” where you can spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo—along with thousands of wildebeest and zebra grazing across the crater floor. Before heading to the coast, explore Lake Manyara National Park, famous for its pink flamingos and elusive tree-climbing lions. After your safari, fly to Zanzibar Island, where the pace slows and turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and the spice-scented air invite you to unwind. Spend your final days snorkeling in crystal-clear lagoons, exploring Stone Town’s rich Swahili-Arab culture, or simply relaxing by the ocean. Wildlife Highlights: Elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, flamingos, and countless bird species across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Best Time to Visit: June to October is the ideal season for wildlife viewing and beach relaxation—clear skies, minimal rainfall, and excellent game visibility.
