3 Days Tanzania Safari from Zanzibar to Serengeti Safari

Since Zanzibar is an island, the most convenient way to begin your adventure is by taking a domestic flight directly to one of the bush airstrips in the park. This saves you several hours of driving and ferry travel, allowing you to start your game drives almost immediately upon arrival. Our team handles all the flight bookings and airport transfers to ensure a smooth transition from the beach to the savannah.

While nature is unpredictable, staying for two nights in the heart of the park significantly increases your chances of spotting lions, leopards, and elephants. Our guides focus on the most active areas to ensure you get the best wildlife viewing possible within the three days. Many guests successfully see four or even all five of these iconic animals during their stay.

Even though Zanzibar is very hot and humid, the plains can be quite cool in the early mornings and late evenings. We recommend bringing light layers, a warm jacket, and neutral colored clothing for the game drives. Essential items include high factor sunscreen, a wide brimmed hat, binoculars, and a good camera with extra memory cards.

A three-day Tanzanian journey from Zanzibar usually starts with an early morning flight that lands you in the park by mid morning. This timing is perfect because it allows you to enjoy an afternoon game drive on your very first day. The return flight on the third day is typically scheduled for the afternoon so you can have one last morning with the wildlife.

All meals including breakfast, picnic lunches, and hot multi course dinners at your chosen accommodation are fully covered. We also provide plenty of bottled drinking water in the safari vehicle to keep you hydrated during your journey across the sunny plains. If you have specific dietary needs like vegan or gluten free options, please let us know when you book so our chefs can prepare accordingly.

A sunrise balloon safari is a popular extra activity that can be scheduled for your second morning in the park. You will float over the migration and watch the animals from a bird's eye view before enjoying a champagne breakfast in the bush. This experience can be seamlessly integrated into your two night stay with advance booking.

Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be met by a customized 4x4 safari Land Cruiser with a pop up roof for optimal viewing. These vehicles are designed for the rugged terrain and provide every passenger with a window seat for great photography opportunities. They also come equipped with a fridge for cold drinks and charging ports for your electronic devices.

Absolutely, we can alter the start times or focus on specific interests like birding or professional photography. If you are traveling as a family, we can adjust the pace to make it more comfortable for children or elderly members. Private tours offer the flexibility to spend more time at sightings that interest you the most without any rush.

The total cost covers your return flight tickets from Zanzibar and all mandatory national park entry and transit fees. You will not have to worry about any hidden costs or making payments at the gates as our team manages everything in advance. This transparency allows you to focus entirely on the scenery and the incredible wildlife from the moment you arrive.

You will stay in either a luxury tented camp or a mid range lodge located right inside the park boundaries. These accommodations offer a unique experience where you can hear the sounds of the African night while you sleep in safety. Each room or tent features private en-suite bathrooms and comfortable beds to ensure you are well rested for the early morning drives.
