7 Days Luxury Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar for Senior Travellers

Our representative welcomes you at the airport and assists with your bags before the transfer to Arusha. The journey follows paved roads for approximately 50–60 km (31–37 miles), normally taking 1–1.5 hours through towns and farmland. At your luxury hotel, we allow time to settle in before discussing the safari schedule. We request suitable room access in advance, arrange dinner around your arrival, and leave the day free of wildlife activities.

Inside the park, we explore woodland and river tracks in search of elephants, giraffes, and zebras, explaining sightings clearly and giving you time to enjoy them.

We arrange lunch at a designated picnic area before continuing the afternoon drive. Later, we cover approximately 80–110 km (50–68 miles) in 1.5–2 hours to reach your luxury lodge in the Manyara area for dinner.

We start early enough to make good use of the crater visit, with approximately 80–120 km (50–75 miles) and 2–3 hours of travel to the crater area. Our guide takes the winding descent carefully before exploring the crater floor for lions, buffaloes, hippos, and possibly black rhinos.

Most wildlife viewing takes place from your vehicle, with a lunch break and stops at permitted facilities. We arrange an extended game drive within the allowed visiting period, then transfer you to your luxury lodge in the Ngorongoro area

This is the longest road-transfer day, covering approximately 140–180 km (87–112 miles) in 4–5 hours before longer stops. Parts of the route are rough, so we agree on a comfortable pace and use suitable places for breaks.

The wooded highlands give way to open plains as we approach Serengeti. After lunch, we enjoy an afternoon game drive, searching for giraffes, lions, and antelope before reaching your luxury tented camp.

Our team confirms the walking distances between your room and the dining area before selecting the camp

We reserve the day for wildlife viewing, with the option to divide the outing around a camp break when distances allow. A full programme usually involves around 6–8 hours of viewing and breaks, covering approximately 60–120 km (37–75 miles) through grasslands and river areas.

Our guide searches for elephants, lions, cheetahs, and hippos while checking that the pace remains comfortable for you. Lunch is planned to suit the route, followed by a return to your luxury tented camp for dinner

The scheduled journey to Zanzibar normally takes around 2–3 hours depending on intermediate stops. We then arrange a private transfer to your luxury hotel, around 10–65 km (6–40 miles) or 20–90 minutes away, with breakfast, lunch arrangements, and dinner planned around travel.

We plan a manageable Stone Town walk with shaded pauses and seating opportunities where available. Allow approximately 2–3 hours for the visit, with return road travel of around 10–130 km (6–81 miles), or 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on your hotel.

After lunch, the Prison Island visit involves a boat crossing of approximately 20–30 minutes each way and some walking to the giant tortoise area. Boarding and landing can involve uneven steps, so we confirm whether these arrangements suit your mobility before booking.
