Maximize your time in Tanzania with our premier 11-day luxury safari and Zanzibar escape. This meticulously curated private journey seamlessly blends the thrill of a world-class wildlife safari with the blissful relaxation of Zanzibar’s pristine beaches.
Your exclusive adventure includes a private vehicle and an experienced, English-speaking guide, ensuring both your comfort and a personalized pace. Witness the awe-inspiring Great Migration corridors of the Serengeti National Park, descend into the wildlife-rich Ngorongoro Crater, and be captivated by the ancient elephants of Tarangire National Park. Conclude your perfect Tanzanian itinerary by unwinding on the sun-drenched, white sands of Zanzibar.
Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be warmly greeted by your personal guide from Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris with a welcoming, “Karibu Tanzania.” You will be escorted directly to your hotel to relax and acclimatize. The following day, your privately guided safari begins, offering an exclusive and personalized experience. With the luxury of a dedicated safari vehicle, you are free to travel at your own pace and savor unparalleled wildlife viewings for as long as you wish.
A journey with Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris to Tarangire National Park reveals its famous large elephant families and majestic baobabs. These ancient trees are not only photogenic but are a critical dry-season reservoir for elephants. Our expertly guided tours maximize your chance to witness the park’s most dramatic spectacle: the mass gathering of wildlife along the Tarangire River. Here, during the dry season, you can observe immense herds of elephants—numbering in the hundreds—alongside a prolific array of other animals.
The Serengeti National Park offers an unmatched safari experience, famed for the breathtaking drama of the Great Migration. This vast landscape comes alive with immense herds and Africa’s highest concentration of predators, from formidable prides of lion to elusive leopards and swift cheetahs. At Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris, we craft journeys where our knowledgeable guides share their profound expertise, passionately seeking out these incredible animals to provide you with an authentic and profound connection to the wild.
A journey with Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris brings you to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s premier natural wonders. This vast caldera was created by the colossal eruption and subsequent collapse of a volcano millennia ago. Today, its rich, volcanic soil supports an unparalleled ecosystem, hosting the highest density of mammalian predators in Africa. Within this natural amphitheater, you will witness astounding populations of wildlife—from towering elephants and formidable buffalo to elusive black rhinos—all set against a backdrop of stunning, panoramic vistas.
Upon your flight to the fabled spice island of Zanzibar, you will be greeted at the airport by an Ariel Tanzania guide and transferred to your hotel. Your following days are reserved for discovery: unwind on pristine, white-sand beaches and immerse yourself in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, home to vibrant coral reefs. For a cultural interlude, explore the historic labyrinthine streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Culinary enthusiasts will delight in a visit to a local spice plantation, where the origins of the island’s rich flavors come to life. A true tropical paradise awaits your arrival.
With Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris, your journey to a tropical paradise begins on the idyllic shores of Zanzibar. Unwind on world-class, palm-fringed beaches and immerse yourself in the tranquil blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Your experience is enriched with authentic moments, from tasting fresh, local delicacies to exploring the island’s diverse attractions. For a truly memorable excursion, we offer curated experiences such as the popular Safari Blue cruise or an enlightening tour of the historic Stone Town district.
On your final day, the itinerary is tailored to your departure schedule. You may choose to enjoy a final morning at leisure, perhaps with a tranquil moment on the beach or some last-minute exploration of the island. Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris will then ensure your timely transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for your journey home. Should you wish to extend your discovery of Tanzania’s archipelago, our team would be delighted to arrange a seamless extension to the pristine islands of Mnemba, Pemba, or Mafia.
A question we often receive at Ariel Tanzania Tours and Safaris is, “When is the best time to embark on a safari?” The beauty of Tanzania is that it offers remarkable experiences year-round, each season presenting its own unique advantages. The perfect journey depends entirely on what you wish to see and the type of adventure you seek.
Prime Safari Seasons (June-October & December-February):Â For those prioritizing impeccable weather and unparalleled wildlife encounters, the dry seasons are unparalleled. These months provide perfect conditions for photographic safaris and idyllic beach extensions. As the most sought-after times to visit, we recommend booking well in advance to secure preferred lodges and guides.
The Sweet Spot (March & November):Â Our shoulder seasons are a well-kept secret. They strike an ideal compromise with pleasant temperatures, reduced visitor numbers, and more favorable rates. While occasional showers may occur, they breathe life into the scenery and rarely detract from the incredible wildlife sightings and intimate safari experience.
The Emerald Season (April-May):Â For the discerning traveler seeking solitude and value, the green season is a hidden gem. The landscape is at its most dramatic and lush, accommodation rates are at their most attractive, and you’ll often feel you have the wilderness to yourself. Travel during this time is adventurous, and we expertly design itineraries with the weather in mind to ensure a fantastic journey.
