In search of the Big 5 – unwind on Zanzibar

During this 13-day journey through Tanzania and Zanzibar, you will explore the country’s most wildlife-rich safari areas at a relaxed and well-paced rhythm, with an excellent chance of spotting all of Africa’s Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros.

Your safari begins in Tarangire National Park, famous for its iconic baobab trees and vast herds of elephants. Thanks to its high wildlife density, this is an excellent place to encounter several of the Big Five from the very start. You then continue to the world-renowned Serengeti National Park, where you enjoy two full days of game drives across endless savannahs teeming with predators, large herbivores and—depending on the season—migrating herds. The Serengeti is widely regarded as one of the best places in Africa to spot lions and leopards.

Next, you visit the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, a unique natural amphitheatre with an exceptionally high concentration of wildlife. It is one of the best places in Tanzania to see the rare black rhinoceros and completes your Big Five safari experience.

To conclude your safari week, you visit Arusha National Park for a special guided walking safari. Exploring on foot allows you to experience the wilderness in a more intimate and peaceful way, bringing you even closer to nature than from a vehicle.

After these adventures, you travel on to Zanzibar, where five days of tropical relaxation await, with white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. This journey offers the perfect balance between adventure, nature and relaxation.
