Impressive Tanzania and Zanzibar

Upon your arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met by a member of the Katikati Safari’s team who will transfer you by road to a private luxury villa house, Onsea House. This gorgeous little town is situated at the base of Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro.
Visit the surprising social initiative Shanga that employs disabled people from the community to create export quality recycled glass products

Overnight at Private yet personal with a world-class setting, Onsea House has the balance just right.

Catch a scheduled flight to the Manyara Airstrip and a road transfer to the simple but comfortable SANCTUARY NGORONGORO CRATER CAMP. Set in the shady forest close to the crater rim itself, this authentic tented camp has easy access into the Crater. You begin with an afternoon drive on the crater floor, followed by a full-day safari the next day. The world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, this steep-sided Crater is home to the densest concentration of large animals in Africa and has built its reputation on peerless Big 5 game viewing: look out for elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard. Back at camp, you have a classic tented suite to return to, complete with a private bathroom with a hot-water bucket shower, as well as home-cooked meals served under the stars.

A flight from the Manyara Airstrip to the Serengeti means you have time to settle into your new camp before heading out to explore. KICHAKANI SERENGETI CAMP specializes in the Wildebeest Migration, moving easily between three different locations to ensure its guests enjoy grandstand views of the action, whether it is the massed herds on the move, the spectacular birthing season or the raw drama of the river crossings. There is always a great deal else to see on your game drives – abundant plains game and, of course, predators ranging from big cats and wild dogs to hyenas and crocodiles. Morning and afternoon game drives with expert guides take you into the heart of the action. Your tented suite has electric lighting, an en suite bathroom and a private viewing deck complete with easy chairs and a table. Your view from your: the unfettered Serengeti.

A scheduled charter flight takes you from the Serengeti savannah and into the island of Zanzibar. There may be a few stops on the way at other lodges, but before long, you can let your bags hit the floor of your air-conditioned suite and stretch your legs on a powder-soft beach. Set on the island’s idyllic eastern coast, Zuri Zanzibar Hotel & Resort blends privacy, relaxation and adventure in equal portions, allowing its guests to do as much or as little as they like. The resort offers scuba diving and snorkeling trips as well as pampering massages, beauty treatments, yoga sessions and a gym. Sunset dhow (traditional sailboat) cruises and fishing trips are available to book at the resort, while the hotel’s Spice Garden is the ideal spot for a stroll. Tours of Stone Town make for an excellent cultural and historical experience, while the short spice tour imparts insight into why Zanzibar is known as Spice Island.

After breakfast, you are driven back to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport for your onward travel arrangements and the end of this tour.
