Looking for a company to arrange your Tanzania safari itinerary and Zanzibar holiday? Kilipath African Safaris, based in Arusha, can help you combine wildlife viewing with time by the Indian Ocean. Start with your travel dates, preferred parks and accommodation style, and we will prepare a route and quotation for your trip.
Tanzania’s Northern Circuit brings together Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Zanzibar adds a different pace, with beach stays and opportunities to explore Stone Town. Your itinerary should leave enough time for both experiences without filling every day with transfers.
Sample 10-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Itinerary
This proposed route includes arrival time, five safari days and an island stay. Accommodation and flights are selected when preparing your quote.
| Day | Suggested programme | Overnight |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to Arusha for rest and a safari briefing. | Arusha |
| 2 | Travel to Tarangire for a game drive, then continue to your accommodation. | Karatu area |
| 3 | Drive through the Ngorongoro highlands towards Central Serengeti, with wildlife viewing after entering the park as time allows. | Serengeti |
| 4 | Spend a full day exploring Serengeti with your guide. | Serengeti |
| 5 | Enjoy a morning game drive, then travel towards the Ngorongoro area. | Crater rim or Karatu |
| 6 | Descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive, then return to Arusha. | Arusha |
| 7 | Transfer to the airport for a flight to Zanzibar and continue to your beach hotel. | Zanzibar |
| 8 | Relax at the beach or request an optional island excursion. | Zanzibar |
| 9 | Enjoy another beach day or arrange a guided Stone Town visit. | Zanzibar |
| 10 | Transfer to Zanzibar Airport for departure. | — |
A separate overnight in Arusha before the Zanzibar flight gives this route more breathing room. Any same-day safari-to-flight connection needs a careful check of the driving plan and confirmed flight schedule.
Choose Your Safari Style
Private safari: An exclusive vehicle and guide allow greater flexibility over stops, wildlife interests and daily pace. This is a useful option for couples, families and travellers who want more time in Serengeti.
Shared safari: Joining other travellers can reduce transport costs. Departures follow a set route, so the sample itinerary above must be adapted to the available group programme.
Accommodation: Choose public camping, midrange lodges, tented camps or higher-end stays. Ask for the proposed property names and room arrangements before confirming. A tented camp can offer very different facilities from a public campsite.
What Affects the Package Price?
Your quotation depends on travel dates, group size, safari length, accommodation, park charges and domestic flights. Private and shared arrangements also have different costs.
Ask for an itemised quote confirming safari transport, guide services, accommodation, meals, park entry, crater service charges, airport transfers and any Zanzibar arrangements. Flights, island excursions, drinks, tips and personal expenses should each be clearly marked as included or excluded.
