Welcome to Tanzania, land of vast horizons and timeless beauty. Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your driver will take you to your elegant lodge in Arusha, set amid lush coffee plantations. From your terrace, you may glimpse the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest summit, rising majestically above the clouds. Enjoy a relaxed evening with the sounds of the bush in the distance and a first taste of Tanzanian hospitality before your safari adventure begins.

After breakfast, you will drive across the Great Rift Valley (approx. 4–5 h) towards the legendary Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called Africa’s Garden of Eden. As an alternative, you can also fly from Arush to Lake Manyara airstip. Check into your luxurious lodge perched on the crater’s rim, where breathtaking views stretch as far as the eye can see. Spend the afternoon relaxing by the fire or taking a guided nature walk along the crater’s edge before dinner overlooking one of the most extraordinary landscapes on Earth.

Today you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife. During your game drive, you may spot lions lounging in the grass, elephants wandering through the forest, and endangered black rhinos grazing in the mist. The crater floor is alive with flamingos, zebras, and wildebeest — a microcosm of the African savannah. Enjoy a picnic lunch beside a hippo pool before returning to your lodge in the late afternoon to watch the sunset fade into a sky of endless stars.

After breakfast, take a short flight to the Sasakwa airstrip in the western Serengeti, gateway to the Grumeti Reserve, a private concession protected by the Grumeti Fund and home to one of the continent’s most exclusive safari experiences. Upon arrival, settle into your luxurious tented suite at Singita Sasakwa or Sabora, where classic safari romance meets modern elegance. The afternoon is free to unwind, watch wildlife from your terrace, or enjoy a sunset game drive followed by a lantern-lit dinner in the bush.

Rise with the first light for a morning game drive across the vast Grumeti plains, where lions, cheetahs, and giraffes roam freely. With your expert guide, you’ll explore landscapes of rolling grasslands and acacia forests, alive with the rhythm of nature. After lunch and a dip in your infinity pool overlooking the savannah, enjoy a relaxed afternoon before heading out for an evening drive or sundowners beneath a golden sky.

This morning, you may choose to take an unforgettable hot-air balloon safari, drifting silently above herds of wildebeest and zebra as the sunrise paints the plains in soft gold. After a lovely breakfast, continue your wildlife exploration, following the tracks of elephants or the movements of a pride of lions. Return to camp for a massage or a quiet afternoon by the pool, then dine under the stars as the night comes alive with the sounds of the African bush.

Your final day in Grumeti is yours to savor. Enjoy one last sunrise drive through the misty plains, where you might encounter leopards returning from their night’s hunt or herds moving towards the river. Later, visit a local community project supported by Singita, learning about conservation and life in the Serengeti. The evening ends with a private bush dinner, the crackle of the fire and the Milky Way above marking the perfect close to your safari journey.

After breakfast, take a light aircraft flight to Zanzibar, the island of spices and white sands. Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In the afternoon, wander through narrow alleys lined with carved doors and colorful markets, discovering traces of Swahili, Arab, and European influence.

This morning, travel along the island’s scenic coast (approx. 1.5 h) to your beachfront resort. The rest of the day is for pure relaxation: stroll barefoot along the beach, swim in the turquoise lagoon, or unwind with a spa ritual infused with local spices. As evening falls, dine by candlelight under palm trees, lulled by the rhythm of the waves.

Awake to the sound of the sea and a day at leisure in paradise. Take a private dhow cruise at sunrise, snorkel over coral gardens, or visit a spice plantation to discover the island’s fragrant heritage. For the adventurous, a diving excursion reveals colorful reefs and tropical marine life. Spend your afternoon by the pool or beach, then enjoy a romantic dinner on the sand — your final evening under the stars of the Indian Ocean.

Enjoy a slow morning, savoring your last breakfast by the ocean. Depending on your flight time, you may take a final swim or short walk along the beach before your transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for your onward journey.
