A twin center holiday that is hard to beat
Visiting three of the best parks in Tanzania then on to the 'spice island' of Zanzibar this trip has it all
Northern Tanzania is home to numerous national parks and this trip incorporates four of them, as well as a week on the beach in Zanzibar – what more could you ask for?
Initially it may seem like there is a lot of ground to cover on this trip, but bear in mind that you will be in your own vehicle, with your own guide, driving through national parks and game reserves to get to your nightly destinations – the reality is that you are actually on one long game drive!

You will check in to the Kirurumu Ngorongoro Camp for one night, which is a small and intimate camp set in one of the most strategic and beautiful areas in the Ngorongoro Highlands. You will stay in one of the 10 en-suite tents, ideal for a cosy nights sleep after a busy day’s safari.
5: Crater visit and Serengeti

Double Tent at Serengeti Wilderness Camp
We recommend getting up early on day five so that you can make the most of your visit to the crater – one of the most impressive geological features in Africa. With a range of ecosystems within the crater the wildlife spotting opportunities are vast, with lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, elephants, hippos and rhinos all nearby.
When it’s time to leave the crater, your driver will head towards the Serengeti National Park, where you will be staying in The Wild Frontiers Wilderness Camp.
The Wilderness Camp has the advantage of being able to move to some of the best viewing areas and every 3-6 months it moves to a new location your will arrive in time for dinner and share safari stories with the other campers.
6: Safari Day

Wildebeest in the Serengeti
Your safari experience so far has been leading up to this day, a full day game drive in the Serengeti, one of Africa’s most famous National Parks! The Serengeti has some of the highest concentrations of wildlife in all of Africa and is a great destination to see the “big 5”.
When the sun starts setting you will return to the Wilderness Camp for one more night.
Suggestion – Depending upon the time of year you may wish to swap the Wilderness Lodge for Ndutu Lodge in order to maximise viewing potential for the annual Wildebeest Migration – speak to us at Far and Wild for more information.

Bedroom at the Zanzibar Palace Hotel
After a mornings game drive, it’s time to say goodbye to your driver, and friend, as he will drop you at the airstrip in the Serengeti to catch your flight to the island of Zanzibar.
Upon landing you will be taken to the Zanzibar Palace Hotel where you can wash off the safari dust and head out to explore the cultural and historical wonder that is Stone Town. The Palace Hotel is hidden away in the streets on the town, providing the perfect base to visit the museums, markets and the Old Fort.
