Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Zanzibar

The Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar's beaches.

  • Photographic Safaris
  • Marine & Shark

The Serengeti's endless plains and the wildlife-dense Ngorongoro Crater, with the option to close the trip on Zanzibar's white sand beaches.

Tanzania pairs two of Africa's most complete safari landscapes: the Serengeti's vast open plains, home to the Great Migration for much of the year, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a self-contained caldera so densely stocked with wildlife it rarely disappoints. Many of our Tanzania itineraries close with a beach extension on Zanzibar, trading dust for warm Indian Ocean water and Stone Town's Swahili heritage. As with Kenya, we handle the regional flights and logistics when this is combined with a wider Southern Africa journey.
