14-Day Private Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar | Rafiki Tembo

14-Day Private Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar

Tour Summary

Experience Tanzania from its wild savannahs to the warm shores of the Indian Ocean on this carefully designed 14-day journey.

Your adventure begins in Arusha before heading into Tarangire National Park, where ancient baobab trees, elephants and the Tarangire River create one of Tanzania's most distinctive safari landscapes. From there, slow the journey down with a local experience in Mto wa Mbu and discover a more personal side of Tanzania through its people, food and everyday life.

The safari then continues into the legendary Serengeti, with several days dedicated to exploring its vast plains and searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, wildebeest and many other species. Continue through the spectacular Ngorongoro Highlands before descending into the Ngorongoro Crater for another remarkable wildlife experience.

After the safari, return to Arusha and fly to Zanzibar. Explore the history and culture of Stone Town, enjoy an island experience, and finish your holiday with relaxing days beside the Indian Ocean.

It is a journey designed for travellers who don't want to choose between safari, culture and beach — but want to experience Tanzania as a complete destination.
