Itinerary

Day 1: Zanzibar to Lake Manyara National Park
- After landing at Arusha Airport, our safari team will pick you up and start a leisurely drive through a scenic landscape. It only takes 2 hours to get to the Lake Manyara park gate. Lake Manyara is famous for its tree-climbing lions and also being a Great Rift Valley park.
- In the afternoon, we will take a 40-minute break at a beautiful picnic site with bathrooms, and you will have lunch there.
- In the late afternoon, we will leave the park and head to Mto wa Mbu. We will stop by the village to taste local foods and drinks before proceeding to our accommodation.
Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar
- On the second day, you will have breakfast; then, we will drive to Ngorongoro Crater. The earlier we go, the more we increase our odds of seeing all the Big Five animals. The Ngorongoro Crater is a beautiful caldera with a ring-like wall surrounding it. This 260 square kilometres (100 square miles) area is home to more than 30,000 animals and more than 500 species of birds.
- Proceeding with a game drive in the afternoon, we will take a 40-minute stop for lunch and bathroom use at a picnic site near a hippo pool.
- After lunch, we will drive back to Arusha Airport or Kilimanjaro Airport, where you will catch a plane to Zanzibar.
- Arrival in Arusha will be between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm.

Know Before You Go

Our representative will collect you from the airport and take you to your accommodation in Arusha for the night.

We are happy to book accommodation before and after your safari if needed.

Flying into Arusha / Kilimanjaro Airports is quite straightforward. English is widely spoken and used for signs and directions.

Arusha airport is a 30-minute drive from Arusha.

Kilimanjaro Airport is roughly a one-hour drive from Arusha. If you arrive on an international flight, clearing immigration can be lengthy.

The local currency is the Tanzanian Shillings. US Dollars and Euros are widely accepted. Most places will not accept older US dollar bills (printed before 2006).

If you intend to use your credit or debit card to withdraw funds, we suggest taking more than one card with you as you may find that your card is not accepted at the first ATM. You may try Visa and Maestro cards are best.

We recommend informing your bank that you will use your card abroad to avoid being blocked. These are available in Arusha and allow you to withdraw local currency.

We advise you to arrive in Arusha at least one day before your trip begins. Return flights can be booked for the late afternoon/evening of the final day of your Safari, but please ensure your guide is aware of this so that you can arrive at the airport in plenty of time for your flight.

Please check with the relevant Embassy in your country for up-to-date visa and passport information. Ensure your passport will not expire within six months of your trip (i.e., if your trip is in September, make sure it is valid until at least March of the following year) and that it has at least three clear pages.

You will probably need a visa to enter Tanzania. Check with your country’s government travel website to find out how to get your visa. Most visas can be bought on arrival into the country.

You will require vaccinations for your trip. As we are not medically trained, we cannot give detailed advice on vaccination requirements. However, the following vaccinations are generally recommended for Tanzania: Tetanus, Polio, Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Rabies, Yellow Fever, and Malaria. (Yellow fever vaccination is compulsory when you enter Tanzania from a country with yellow fever).

Vaccination certificates are often checked at immigration. If you are entering Tanzania from a country that does not have Yellow Fever, vaccination is not needed. Please visit the World Health Organization website for an up-to-date list. http://www.who.int/ith/ITH_Annex_I.pdf

In some areas we visit, there is a risk of contracting Malaria. You must know that whatever malaria tablets you take only offer partial protection. They must be coupled with your physical efforts against being bitten - the best prevention. Malaria-carrying mosquitoes come out at sunset, so you should wear long sleeves and trousers from this time. Exposed skin, especially ankles, should have insect repellent containing 'Deet' applied to them.

We strongly recommend that you have extensive travel insurance to cover you for your trip. It is also wise to leave a copy of your insurance policy with a friend or relative for safekeeping. Your policy should include adequate Medical Emergency and Repatriation coverage.

Tanzania has a well-established tipping culture.

Guides: If you feel you have received good service, a typical tip is U$D 10-15 per person daily.

Security: All towns and cities have their share of petty crime, and sensible precautions must be taken. Wearing expensive-looking jewellery/watches and carrying cameras will draw unnecessary attention. You may find a simple money belt is more discrete than a bag. Always be aware of your surroundings, and be very careful when approached by people you do not know. At night in towns, it's best to use a taxi rather than walk around the streets. Single women, in particular, need to be careful, and we suggest that it is safer to be in a group.

In Tanzania, the year is loosely divided into the 'short' rains (November) and the 'long' rains (March to May). The 'rains' usually last one or two hours daily, followed by hot, sunny weather. Nights can be surprisingly cold at higher altitudes, e.g., Ngorongoro Crater.
