Must do on a 10 day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar trip

The most popular option for a 10 days Tanzania safari is the world renowned Serengeti National Park . A popular honeymoon destination and documentary location in northern Tanzania, the Serengeti plains are home to the world’s largest movement of animals including the Big 5, often called the “Great Migration.” 

It’s also one of the oldest and most scientifically significant ecosystems on the planet. Its weather patterns, fauna and flora are believed to have changed very little over a million years, giving the area a prehistoric feel.

The landscape of the Serengeti Plain is also extremely varied, ranging from savannah, to hilly woodlands, to open grasslands. Apart from rhinos and hunting dogs, visitors will readily see every species of African savanna mammal within the Serengeti. 

Whilst in Zanzibar, a trip to one of their famous beaches is of course essential! Pamunda Island is a small island off the beaten track is a haven for stunning sandy beaches, turquoise waters and small coves, perfect for beach walks and water based activities.

Whilst the capital of Zanzibar is Stone Town, a historic old part of the capital of Zanzibar and melting pot of Indian, European, Arab and Swahili cultures. Stone Town is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a rich and storied past, perfect for visitors to wander around.

Animals on a Tanzania safari?

You’ll find just about everything in the Tanzania safari! The country is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo) and visitors will also find spotted hyenas and hippos. 

Tanzania contains the highest concentration of lions in the world with over 3,000 of them found in the Serengeti alone and about 1.5 million wildebeests, in addition to wildebeest, gazelle, giraffes, black rhinos. A view of these huge wildebeest crossing the crocodile infested river Mara has been included in the 7 wonders of natural Africa.

If you enjoy driving, it is possible to visit the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater on a 5 day road safari. This combination gives you a reasonable chance of seeing all the Big Five in a short time. Ngorongoro is the only reliable park in Tanzania to see black rhino in the wild. 

The Serengeti and the crater are both good for predators, and lions are particularly easy to find in both. A 5 day trip to Ruaha or Selous in the south can also be very productive where you’ll see lions, wild dogs, antelopes and kudu.

How much money do I need for a 10 day Zanzibar Tanzania safari?

Visitors should budget for approximately $320 for a Zanzibar Tanzania safari per person per day, including food and accommodation. Combination safaris in Zanzibar and Tanzania can be more expensive due to the higher costs of accommodation, transport and food.

What animals will I see on a 10 day Tanzania Zanzibar safari tour?

Visitors on a 10 day Tanzania Zanzibar combination safari will see the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo), hyenas, wildebeest, giraffes, cheetah, zebras, endangered black rhinos, hippos, crocodiles and much more.

What is the best time to go on a 10 day Tanzania tour?

The best time to go on a 10 day Tanzania safari is from June to October when there’s practically no rain and daytime temperatures are not too hot. With an overall moderate climate, Zanzibar and Tanzania however are considered a great year-round safari and beach destination.

Tarangire National Park is well known for its big groups of elephants and the huge amount of giant baobab trees. These trees can live for hundreds of years and are actually a source of water for elephants in the dry season as they have a special technique to draw water from them. Besides, the Tarangire River is the only source of water in the dry season, which is why in this season in Tarangire you can see groups of up to 250 elephants next to many more animals!

Day 3 - 4: Serengeti National Park (central west/east)

Serengeti National Park is widely known as the place to go on safari, mainly because of the Great Migration that passes through here.

And of course, plenty of other beautiful animals, which your guide will be delighted to search for together with you. Are you ready for this?

The famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's seven natural wonders. The crater was formed two million years ago when a vast volcano erupted. The fertile lava has created a unique ecosystem, now home to the highest concentration of animals found anywhere in Africa! Once in the crater, thousands of animals such as lions, zebras, buffalos and black rhinos surround you, and the views are astounding – you won’t know where to look! Watch the video of the park here .

Then explore the beach, ocean, and island through a range of activities ! We highly recommend the Safari Blue Cruise or a tour of Stone Town.  

The last day! Depending on your flight time, you can relax on the beach or explore the island just a little bit more.

Customizable Itinerary

Arusha - relaxation after arrival.

Keep your eyes peeled as you fly over African savannahs and land into Kilimmanjaro International Airport in northern Tanzania. The inimitable landscapes of East Africa await and their sheer size is breathtaking from above. You'll be met at the airport and transferred to your first beautiful lodge. Fragrantly situated in a rolling coffee plantation, the lodge offers a home away from home but also a glimpse into exotic Africa. Monkeys sometimes swing through the grounds and the coffee can't get any fresher.

What's Included:

Lake Manyara - Unique Safari at Lake Manyara

Lake Manyara's flying residents provide a noisy start to your safari experience. Over 300 individual bird species can be spotted in the park, but it's the raucous hornbills that try to dominate the soundtrack. After breakfast you'll have a short drive to Lake Manyara National Park, where the hornbills aren't the only birds vying for your attention. Thousands of flamingos wade in the shallows of the lake, forming a pink blanket that's the centerpiece of this national park. They're joined in the water by large pods of hippos, the playful beasts resting from the sun or rolling around the muddy embankments.

Lake Manyara offers an ideal first African safari. It offers an eclectic mix of animals, but the winding woodlands ensure that you rarely see any other safari trucks. By the lake, and in the grassy clearings, you'll get your first glimpses of Africa's largest mammals. Buffalos return your stare, their bushy frames usually providing tick one on your Big Five list. African elephant bulls wander alone, graceful creatures that can be distinguished from Asian elephants by their larger size and ears. Even from a distance you can see that their ears are shaped like a map of Africa. Giraffes silently munch on the high trees, the most elegant of creatures adding their own unique colors to Lake Manyara.

In the clearings these great mammals are easy to spot, but in the thick forest there is also a remarkable concentration of wildlife. You'll be immersed in this animal world as you spend two nights deep within the mahogany forest. This intimate experience will bring the wildlife to you. Listen to bird song from your enchanting treehouse, watch baboons troop past from the balcony, and savor the chattering of bush babies and monkeys in the trees. Sumptuous meals and local drinks are included as are game drives in the park. You'll have a long afternoon game drive on day two before morning and afternoon game drives on day three.

Stealthily resting in the trees is another of Lake Manyara's unique residents. In the dense forest the safari truck stops. The engine is cut off. Your guide is pointing, but as you scour the trees with binoculars you can't find what he's so excited about. A quick movement almost makes you jump. Was that? Was it? It's a lion's tale, swinging from a branch. You definitely don't need the binoculars, this lion is just meters away,and it's been watching you the whole time. Unique to Lake Manyara and Tarangire, these graceful tree climbing lions are the highlight of a safari here. If you're lucky you'll also get glimpse of the other predators that hide in these trees: leopards and cheetah.

Tarangire National Park - Giant Elephant Herds

There are no boring journeys in northern Tanzania. You'll do a game drive en route to Tarangire National Park, spotting the diverse assortment of animals that wander between Lake Manyara and Tarangire. Impalas and wildebeest stand impassively as you drive past, while elephant herds can be seen around the fringes of Tarangire. Once inside the park their numbers grow, great herds, 300 strong, providing a surreal viewing experience. From a distance it's their size that's impressive. But admire them from up close and the herd teems with charming interactions. Babies test their boundaries under a mother's watchful eye. Youngsters are getting used to their power, comically chasing warthogs away from water holes. Large males dictate the herd's movements, leading their family across a landscape that's dotted with spectacular baobab trees.

Nestled into a secluded area of Tarangire, settle into your luxury tent that is lifted on stilts and surround an enormous baobab tree. A stunning infinity swimming pool overlooks a water hole, guests and mammals watching each other as they enjoy water for very different reasons. From the lodge verandah, a vast savannah offers prime wildlife viewing. Zebra herds wander past, each set of black and white stripes as unique as a person's fingerprints. Waterbuck and giraffe can be spotted on the horizon, and on a long game drive you'll be getting much closer to these gracious mammals. Lions lurk in the baobab trees, elephants cover the trail, while the sight of a bat eared fox reveals one of the park's rare residents. During the night the sound of rustling perforates through the thick canvas tents. Lying in large double beds you wonder what it could be. A set of animal footprints will reveal the culprit in the morning.

Ngorongoro - Ngorongoro Crater

A scenic road winds towards the Ngorongoro Crater rim, mischievous baboons watching the road as you ascend through a verdant forest. Even by East Africa's lofty standards, this inactive volcano is a freak of nature. Known as Africa's “Garden of Eden,” the Ngorongoro crater floor is home to a permanent population of 30,000 mammals. But from above it's a bird that catches the eye, innumerable flamingos turning the lake pink, their shocking color juxtaposed against the rich green landscape.

On day five your afternoon isn't scheduled, and some might enjoy savoring the view and relaxing in the tranquil surroundings of your lodge. This is one of Tanzania's most sublime lodges, and it immaculately blends local Maasai tradition with modern luxury. A butler quietly caters to all your needs while Maasai warriors ensure no wildlife gets too close. From your intimate wooden deck you can watch the Ngorongoro procession. First a small herd of zebra descends into the crater. Then a large bull elephant. Now three Maasai herdsmen carrying spears. On this relaxed afternoon, others might prefer walking along the crater rim or making a visit to a local Maasai village. Whatever you choose, it's an afternoon indulging in a world that hasn't changed for hundreds of years.

Ngorongoro - The Big Five in One Day

Anticipation hangs in the air as the first blades of light tinge the morning sky. Descending the steep crater slopes you head into the world's largest intact caldera for a full day on safari. An eerie silence accompanies the fading mist, and the crater's residents are on full alert. Morning time offers ideal hunting conditions and lion prides are roaming through the crater, considering what's going to be on the breakfast menu. Perhaps a waterbuck that's hiding in the Lerai forest, or an old Thompson's gazelle that stands lonely and fearful. No, this lion pride is after a feast. A common eland usually weighs over half a ton and their distinctly straight horns provide a dangerous defense. But the proliferation of lions in the crater is partly explained by their superior hunting skills. It's extremely rare to visit Ngorongoro Crater and not see at least a couple of lion prides. They could be lazing in the shade, their stomach's full and their glorious manes just meters from the safari truck. Or you could have front row seats as they stalk and pounce on prey.

Nowhere else in the world can match Ngorongoro Crater's sheer concentration of wildlife. Six different habitats provide havens for a distinct cast of residents. In the forest you'll find some of Africa's largest elephants. Beside a lake you can stop for a picnic lunch and admire hippos and many thirsty antelopes. Out on the grassy savannah watch hyenas search for an easy meal. Then the ferocious horns of a buffalo give a clue as to why they're regarded as the most dangerous of the Big Five. With good luck you'll also spot leopards, the elegant cats silently creeping out of the trees. Many times it's difficult to know which way to look. The crater walls encase a landscape that can be easily scanned and admired with binoculars. Have a look, spot something new, and then slowly approach it for prime viewing.

Over a roaring evening fire you call the day's events, struggling to remember each of the unique sightings from the crater floor. Yet there is one that will always linger in the memory. A pair of black rhino slowly plods through the grass, their telltale horns proudly pointing skyward. Critically endangered, there are only around 5,000 of these majestic animals left in the wild. As they come near the safari truck there are shrieks of excitement. Shaking hands fumble with the camera. Eyes are wide open and fixated. Then silence descends over the safari truck as everyone serenely watches the rhinos wander past. Ngorongoro Crater offers one of the few places in the world where you can see the entire Big Five in just one game drive. Hopefully, the rhinos will have completed the set.

Serengeti National Park - Stunning Safari in the Famous Serengeti

From the enclosed haven of Ngorongoro you head onto the endless grass plains of the Serengeti. Whereas Ngorongoro is compact and concentrated, the Serengeti is vast and wild. These plains are home to the Great Migration, and during the early months of the year, your accommodation will be surrounded by giant herds of zebra, Thompson's gazelle and wildebeest. Over 2 million wildebeest migrate around the Serengeti, and the size of these herds is often unbelievable. They cover the grass, turning the plains into a great patchwork quilt of hoofs and swirling dust. From a distance it's a staggering sight, tens of thousands grouped together for safety. A closer inspection reveals that there are perhaps hundreds of thousands in just one herd. It's a staggering sight, and it gets better from up close. Baby wildebeest are carefully guarded, a cheetah accelerates and pounces on a lame male, while a sudden fearful jump causes half the herd to blindly panic.

After leaving Ngorongoro Crater you'll first stop at Olduvai Gorge, an area which holds an integral key to human evolution. Fossils and tools indicate that this site was occupied by Homo habilis and Homo erectus, and the two million years of history in this gorge offer a humbling interruption to the wildlife viewing. This was where early man developed and without Olduvai Gorge perhaps none of us would be here today. Kusini has a secluded and remote location in the Serengeti, offering idyllic vistas and private game viewing. While parts of the Serengeti can get crowded with safari trucks, at Kusini you won't have anything on four wheels to scar your photographs. Don't worry if you're not arriving during the Great Migration, the Serengeti is a spectacular sight at all times of year.

Flat landscape and clean air offer exceptional visibility across the plains, meaning that the Serengeti's unique life is easily viewable from your balcony. Three giraffe necks stand out against the horizon, while the size of elephant and buffalo make them easy to spot from a distance. Klipspringer emerge from the nearby woodland, while zebra and Thompson's gazelle pass by so frequently you barely turn your head. At nighttime the action continues, although it’s often the sounds rather than the sights that alert you to something meandering past the camp.

These plains offer impeccable hunting conditions. Leopards and cheetahs join the lion prides, an abundance of big cats all finding easy meals in this plentiful landscape. With solemn precision a leopard dips his neck and blends into the grass. It's waiting. Its actions are calculated and careful. Watch too many wildlife documentaries and you'll be forgiven for thinking that a hunt lasts just a couple of furious minutes. Out in the Serengeti there's a good chance of watching how it really unfolds, including the drawn out skillful approach, the brief shock of the unsuspecting herd, and then the sudden ferocity of an attack.

Day  9 - 12

Bwejuu-Paje Beach - Serenity of Zanzibar Island

After seven days on safari, the final part of your vacation reveals another of Tanzania's unique wonders. For over 1,000 years Zanzibar has ignited the imagination of travelers. Pristine white sand is surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, fringed by postcard perfect palm trees. The island offers a soporific loop of beach perfection, the gentle waves and mellow atmosphere enough to lull anyone into hibernation. Time becomes irrelevant as you settle into Zanzibar's beachside rhythm, each day offering a slow blend of relaxing, swimming, reading, and indulging in your sumptuous surroundings.

You'll fly from the Serengeti to Zanzibar, where you'll be met and driven to your luxurious accommodations. You will be staying on the quiet Bwejuu- Paje Beach, a strip of sand that Conde Nest Traveler Magazine named as one of top thirty beaches in the world.  Your five night stay is on an all-inclusive basis in a villa. Decorated in a boutique style that evokes Zanzibar's rich heritage, your villa and resort offers unrivaled levels of intimacy and exclusivity on the island. Your 193 square meter villa has a large private terrace and plunge pool as well as two bathrooms and a large living area.

On Zanzibar Island it's easy to unwind and do nothing. But this island has fascinated visitors for more reasons than just the beach. Out in the ocean, beneath the water, a tropical collection of fish dance for anybody out snorkeling or diving. Pungent smells take people on a fragrant journey through the island's unique spice farms. Prison Island doesn't sound appealing. It was once used to house rebellious slaves and witnessing the remains of the prison is both poignant and harrowing. But the main attraction today is the endangered Albadra giant tortoises that wander along the sand.

Every stay in Zanzibar should include a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Stone Town. Haphazard streets create a disorientating labyrinth that takes you on an atmospheric journey through the past and present. Intricate wooden doors reveal homes with a rich past, old men push carts laden with oranges, while the smell of fried goat wafts through the luring alleyways. On one corner stands a Hindu Temple. Nearby, the simplicity of the Malindi Mosque has a calming effect. Walk around another corner and admire the 19th century Cathedral of St Joseph, Zanzibar proving how different cultures can peacefully coexist.

Stone Town - Depart for Home

In the morning, your private transfer will take you to the airport in Stone Town. Persian baths, Portuguese architecture, British colonial buildings, rich Islamic courtyards, and Indian influences continue to decorate the island capital. Wandering through Stone Town is an ode to the successful integration of disparate styles. Yet it's the modern impressions that often enchant the most; the harmonic call to prayer from the town's mosques, local men crowding round a game of dominos, boisterous cafes full of chatter and sweet glasses of tea. You will arrive at Zanzibar International Airport with plenty of time to check-in to your flight home.

Några av världens absolut bästa nationalparker ligger i Tanzania. De kompletterar varandra perfekt då vissa nationalparker utgörs av savanner medan andra är betydligt mer kuperade och grönskande. ‍ I norra Tanzania hittar du bland annat Ngorongoro-kratern och Serengeti. Här har du chans att se både massajer och ”The big five”. Utgångspunkten för safariturerna är Arusha och Kilimanjaro.

Southern and Western Tanzania’s parks, being still quite unknown, are still wild, remote and exclusive. There you’ll discover an untouched nature and real wilderness.

Which destination do you want to explore?

Ruaha National Park, Nyerere National Park (ex. Selous), Saadani Park and Mikumi Park are generally considered to be the parks of Southern Tanzania, while Mahale, Katavi and Gombe National Parks are those of Western Tanzania. As these destinations have only recently opened up to tourism, the accommodations there are few, small in size, and quite exclusive.

A travel to a national park in Africa goes beyond the traditional game drive. Various activities open to different approaches of nature, fauna, flora and the discovery of amazing landscapes: walking safari, boat safari, night safari, birds’ observation, fishing, chimp trek, ...

They depend on the habitat, the wildlife, the rivers, the experience of the guides, as well as on the rules and regulations, and therefore some of them are only allowed in some parks. If you have a preference for a particular activity, or for a specific animal, please let us know, and we will advise you accordingly.

The game drives are without any doubt the basic reason for any travel to Africa. It may last from a few hours to a full day excursion

Tanzania Safari From Zanzibar - Compare 497 Tours

Zanzibar may be part of Tanzania but it really is a world apart. Adding a mainland Tanzanian safari to your Zanzibar holiday allows you to enjoy the best of both of these worlds. Zanzibar is a special place where history seems written on every stone. It’s also a long-standing favorite Indian Ocean beach destination for many travelers, with fabulous stretches of sand and stunning resorts. Over on the mainland, Tanzania is one of Africa’s premier safari destinations with world-class parks filled with wildlife. Whether you visit Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) in the south or Serengeti National Park in the north, it’s all within a short flight from Zanzibar.

6 Questions About Safaris From Zanzibar

Answered by

Anthony ham.

What parks are best for a safari from Zanzibar?

“Most parks on the Tanzanian mainland are a short flight from Zanzibar, although in some cases you may need to change planes in Arusha or Dar es Salaam. If I could visit just one area of Tanzania on my safari from Zanzibar, it would be the country’s north. This is where you find Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, which are undoubtedly my top picks. Both of these destinations are really close to Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Parks, which are fantastic wildlife destinations if you can spare the time. To do all four of these destinations, you would need a minimum of 10 days. Another option would be to head south, where you’ll find the wildlife-rich Nyerere National Park, which is especially good for varied landscapes, as well as elephants and lions. Visiting Nyerere would add at least 3 days to your overall trip. With more time, you could include Mikumi National Park and possibly even Ruaha National Park for a wilderness experience.”

How many days is recommended for a trip from Zanzibar?

“How long you devote to your safari from Zanzibar will depend on where you want to go. If you only have 3 to 4 days, you should probably focus on just one park. This might be Nyerere or the Serengeti. With each extra couple of days, you could add an extra park or two – Ngorongoro and perhaps even Lake Manyara in the north, or Mikumi in the south. If you can allow 10 days out of Zanzibar, then you could possibly complete the Northern safari circuit, or visit three or four parks across Tanzania’s south. It's worth talking with your operator about what combined Tanzania safari and Zanzibar packages are on offer. Many people who visit Zanzibar also visit the Tanzanian mainland, so you should have plenty of choice. And one final thing to remember: if you’re looking for a cheap or more affordable safari, you will need to try and minimize the number of flights while you’re on the mainland.”

Is a Serengeti safari possible from Zanzibar?

“It is possible to combine a trip to the Serengeti with time on Zanzibar, and there are lots of tours where this is an option. It usually involves a flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, in northern Tanzania, with a further flight from Arusha to one of the airstrips in the Serengeti. It is also possible to drive from Arusha to the Serengeti and enjoy some of the other attractions along the way (such as Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater), but this will add quite a bit of extra time. The Serengeti is certainly worth it and it’s one of my favorite parks anywhere in Africa. The wildlife here is incredible. This is especially the case during the great wildebeest migration, which you can see at different stages from January to August or September. But any time of year is good for wildlife viewing in the Serengeti, where you’ll see the big cats, elephant and so many other species.”

Should I go on a fly-in trip from Zanzibar?

“There will almost certainly be a flying component to your safari from Zanzibar. Although there are boat connections between Zanzibar Island and the mainland, they’re much slower than flying and not very convenient for those heading over to Tanzania for a safari. In addition to your flight from Zanzibar to the mainland (which usually means flying into Arusha or Dar es Salaam), you may also fly from these airports into the national park of your choice. This is, of course, much more expensive than driving. But it will save precious holiday time for actually being on safari, rather than driving to get there. It will also provide you with some incredible views. Taking an air transfer is like going on a scenic flight, and there’s something special about getting off a plane deep in a national park with wildlife all around you.”

How much does a Tanzania trip from Zanzibar cost?

“There are so many variables when it comes to calculating the cost of a Zanzibar to Tanzania mainland safari. But as a general guideline, you can expect your safari from Zanzibar to cost at least US$300 per person per day, with prices for more expensive packages triple that or more. There are many reasons for such differences. One is your accommodation: it obviously costs a lot more to stay in luxury tented camps than it does to go on a budget camping safari. The number of flights you take can also have a big influence. Other factors include the number of days you spend on safari, the season in which you’re traveling (high-season prices can be double what you’ll pay in low season) and the type of safari you choose (a private safari costs more than a group safari, for example).”

Can you do a classic safari on Zanzibar Island?

“A classic safari is not really possible on Zanzibar Island. You might find some wildlife parks on the island, but they are more like zoos, and visiting them is nothing like going on a real safari in one of Tanzania’s parks. If you’d like to get a real safari experience while you’re on Zanzibar, ask your tour operator what might be possible. They will have suggestions about where to go and what you can see by flying to the mainland. Before having such a conversation, you should do some of your own research and have a very clear idea of which animals you’d really like to see. If it’s big cats and elephants, then places such as the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Nyerere are all excellent. If, on the other hand, you’d like to follow in the footsteps of Jane Goodall and spend time tracking chimpanzees through the forest, then Gombe and Mahale Mountains National Parks (in the far west of the country) should be high on your list.”

Tanzania and Zanzibar: A 10 Day In-depth Itinerary

Tanzania is a vast country, from the snowy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, to the incredible wildlife parks and turquoise waters of Zanzibar. Ten days is a reasonably short time to spend in both Tanzania and Zanzibar but if you are short on time, there is still a lot you can pack into 10 days.

Here is a 10 day itinerary for an amazing week in Tanzania and Zanzibar !

Day 1 in Tanzania

Arusha is a fairly large town and is where most of the safari tours will depart from. There is actually quite a bit you can do here, so it is worth spending at least a day here. You can visit the Cultural Heritage Centre (which has an awesome souvenir shop) or explore the Arusha Natural History Museum.

There are many markets and souvenir shops that sell some really unique gifts, such as wooden animals masks and beautiful oil paintings. If you have more time to spend here, then head out on a coffee plantation tour or take a visit to the stunning hot springs (which aren’t actually hot!).

Accommodation: There are a lot of places to stay in Arusha from homestays, hostels, bnb’s, and nice hotels. If heading out on a safari and returning to Arusha, it may be worth seeing if your hotel can arrange for your luggage to be kept safe, so you only have a small bag for safari. Although I kept my big backpack, so this is still fine.

Take a look on booking.com for a whole range of options.

Day 2 in Tanzania

Maasai tribe.

Close to Mto wa Mbu village, take a visit to see one of Tanzania’s Maasai tribes, which is a 2 to 3 hour drive away. These tours can give a real insight into how the tribe lives, their culture and traditions, and their homes. The tribe is incredibly welcoming and will greet you with big smiles. You can even have a go at jumping with the ladies, whilst they sing.

The G Adventures tour I was on had created the Planeterra project, which installs cooking stoves in the villager’s huts. These can help keep out 90% of the pollution from the smoke, as well as being much safter than having an open fire. The women were very happy to show us inside their huts.

Accommodation: Again, there are so many options here in the village of Mto wa Mbu . I stayed at the Twiga Campsite and would recommend it. They have cheaper camping, as well as actual lodges if you fancy something a bit nice. Although I would recommend camping! There is something pretty special about sleeping under the African sky. The Twiga site also has a pool to relax in at the end of the day.

Day 3 in Tanzania

Mto wa mbu to serengeti national park.

This is a long 8 hour drive, but on the way, you will still see lots of wildlife through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way you will pass through a few towns and villages, be sure to stock up on food and essentials if you are camping in the Serengeti.

Your best bet is to book a tour when in Arusha (or whilst planning your trip). Whether it is a camping tour, or a luxury resort stay, they should take care of the food for you, so you only really need to buy any snacks, or toiletries etc. Tours can range from budget to luxury. My tour was one of the cheapest as I chose to camp, and I absolutely loved it!

Arriving to the entrance of the Serengeti is incredibly exciting and you will see animals almost immediately! If you choose to camp, then you will be sleeping amongst the lions, zebras and all the other wild animals, as there are no gates or barriers. This is a little scary but also pretty amazing, I mean my group even had a wild elephant take a walk through the campsite.

Accommodation: There are many types of accommodation in the Serengeti, but you will most likely be booked on a tour in which it comes included. Whether you have a tent or a 5* resort, you will not be disappointed.

Day 4 in Tanzania

Full day safari.

Wake up early for sunrise to get the most out of your day of wildlife viewing. This is such a pretty time in the Serengeti National Park and the animals will all be out, so this is a good time to spot them. I was only in about 10 minutes before we saw a big male elephant walking through the trees.

You could spot anything from lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, crocodiles, monkeys, elephants, birds, hippos, giraffes and so much more! There is even a small café right in the middle of the park, where you can grab a coffee and snack. Our group headed back to camp for lunch, before heading out again the afternoon.

Accommodation: Same as previous night. If you are camping, then you can sit by the bonfire with a cold beer and roast marshmallows. If staying in a lodge, well…. Just enjoy whatever amazing things they have to offer there haha!

Day 5 in Tanzania

Serengeti national park to ngorongoro.

Slowly drive out of the Serengeti National Park, seeing all the animals from the previous day, and make your way to the stunning Ngorongoro Crater. If you thought you saw a lot of animals in the Serengeti, you will be amazed what you find here.

I could not believe how much wildlife there was, and all so close together too. The backdrop of the crater is absolutely stunning. Driving through, I saw herds of wildebeest and zebra, lions, elephants, a hippo, and a rhino which was in the distance.

Accommodation: Your accommodation will be included in your tour. If on a camping tour, you may get to stay at a campsite overlooking the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. I stayed at Simba Campsite, which had beautiful views. This is also where the elephant casually walked through our tents!

Day 6 in Tanzania

Back to arusha.

Your safari tour is likely to drop you back off at Arusha, where you first departed. Enjoy the drive back, taking in all the small villages and dusty roads. When back in Arusha, either relax in your accommodation or campsite, or enjoy the nightlife, ranging from bars, restaurants, clubs, a cinema, or live music venue. Just be sure to go out with a group after dark to keep safe when in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Accommodation: Arusha accommodation ranges from hostels to fancy hotels.

Day 7 in Tanzania

Arusha to stone town, zanzibar.

Get an early flight and travel to the beautiful Zanzibar. The time from Arusha to the airport is around a 1 hour drive, and then the flight to Zanzibar is approximately 1.5 hours. If you get an early flight, you will have plenty of time to explore Stone Town.

The flight to Zanzibar will likely be on a small plane and you will get some incredible views flying onto the island. The blue waters are just divine!

Stone Town is such a cool place, with a mix of different cultures and architecture. It has a sort of European feel with all the old buildings but mixed with African, Arab, and Indian cultures. Its full of life, with many markets, palaces, and museums to visit. I would recommend a visit to the slave chambers. Even though it can be upsetting it can give a real insight into life back then and allow you to understand more about the island’s history.

There are many restaurants and bars to spend the evening too. I went to one rooftop bar to watch the sun go down with a lovely cocktail in hand.

Accommodation: There are plenty of hotels and guesthouses to stay at in Stone Town.

Day 8 in Tanzania

Stone town to beach resort.

This morning, you could either explore some more of Stone town, or make your way straight to the beach resort. I booked half day tour for myself, going out to Changuu Island. I would really recommend this tour; it is only 30 minutes from Stone Town by boat. The island has a hard history and was used to hold slaves back in the day. However nowadays many people visit to see the giant tortoises that live here. You can also go snorkelling off the island as part of the tour, where you can see lots of colourful little fish.

If you want to head straight to the beach, basically anywhere you go in Zanzibar is gorgeous, so not sure you can go wrong here. However, the North and West side beaches are said to be a little better. I stayed in Nungwi (North point) at cheapish hotel beach resort, with buffet breakfast included (bacon here I come).

The area is essentially a long strip of beach resorts and bars and cafes. You can venture out to the local area and villages if you want a bit more of an authentic experience, but I would either book a village tour or go with other people, as I’m not sure how safe it would be if you are alone.

Generally, the locals are friendly, but you may get hassled by the beach boys trying to sell you cheap sunglasses! Apart from that, you can basically just relax and enjoy paradise. The water is so clear and if you get up early for sunrise, you will see the calm waters sparking. You may even see the local women going out in the ocean to fish.

If you are after a little more action, then there are a few water sports to enjoy, as well as paddle boarding, snorkelling, and sunset boat tours.

Accommodation: There are so many fabulous places to stay in Zanzibar, ranging from low budget backpackers to luxury resorts.

Day 9 in Tanzania

Beach resort.

Explore more of the beautiful resort, sip cocktails on the beach, have a game of beach volleyball with the locals, read a good book, go for an ocean swim, or just sit and people watch! This is a great time to sit and relax after a busy safari. I would recommend you time your trip here well though as I got caught out with monsoon rain for much of my time here!

For those who cannot sit still, why not try making your way to a few beaches and seeing what Zanzibar has to offer. A trip from the Northern end and down the West coast could be a great way to see a few different beaches.

Accommodation: Again, plenty of places to stay for all budgets.

Day 10 in Tanzania

Beach resort to stone town.

Enjoy the morning before heading back to Stone Town and traveling to your next destination (book a late flight so you can still have almost a full day!).

If you have time, you could visit some of Zanzibar’s wildlife filled forests, such as the Jozani Forest or Masingini Forest. There are also caves to explore, old ruins and spice plantations.

When to Visit Tanzania and Zanzibar

Tanzania (serengeti).

Safaris can be enjoyed any time of the year, although March to May is the low season as there will likely be rain. However, I went in March and had great weather, so you never know! January and February can also be a good time to visit the Southern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

If you are wanting to catch the great wildebeest migration at its best, then go in June to September. Temperatures are generally in the mid to high 20’s region (Celsius) but at night they can drop to around 15 degrees. During early morning and night, it can get cool on safari, so bring some warmer clothes.

The best time to visit Zanzibar is from June-October. This is when you will see the least rain and the temperatures are a little cooler. You could also try January and February when it will be dry but hot.

The rain comes from March-May when there will be tropical monsoon rain throughout the island (usually in the afternoon). November and December also have a short rainy season, but its generally lighter (but can be unpredictable).

Temperatures are nice and warm, going down to 19 Celsius at night in the cooler months and going up to low to mid 30’s in the hotter months.

Best time for Tanzania and Zanzibar combined

June to September is one of the best times to see the wildebeest migrations, as well as dry weather in Zanzibar.

January and February is another good time, if you don’t mind it being that bit hotter. The island will be dry, and the animals will be likely to gather at the watering holes.

What to wear in Tanzania and Zanzibar?

For safari, you will want some neutral coloured clothing to blend in with the scenery. Anything really bright could scare off animas and anything blue tends to attract the tsetse flies. You will want some longer trousers for safari and clothing you do not mind getting a bit dusty. Bring along some shorts or a dress to wear around camp/ hotel. You will also want some warmer clothes for early morning and night-time.

As it is hot and humid you will want to bring loose fitting clothing, with breathable fabrics such as linen. Of course, bring along bathing suits, shorts, dresses etc but do remember this is a Muslim country so these types of clothes would be better for the beach. For walking around Stone Town, or the villages, you will want to cover up your legs and shoulders and not wear anything too tight or figure hugging.

I really hope this post on Tanzania and Zanzibar was helpful. If you wanted a longer safari, you could either take out the full day in Arusha or sacrifice a beach day for an extra day of wildlife viewing. The safari was one of the best things I have done so its worth doing 2 days minimum, preferably 3 or 4 days.

Safari I Tanzania reser vi med fyrhjulsdrivna jeepar med uppfällbar taklucka; max sex resenärer i respektive jeep, var och en är garanterad fönsterplats. Taket kan öppnas för bästa möjligheter till fotografering. Bagaget Packa i mjuka väskor för safaridelen (ej väska med hårt skal), då utrymmet i safarins jeepar är begränsat. Övrigt bagage förvaras säkert hos vår lokala samarbetspartner i Arusha. Före avresan till Zanzibar vid lunchttid i Arusha får vi tillbaka våra väskor och kan packa om bagaget. Därefter gör vi en gruppincheckning av allt bagage och reser med handbagage. På adresslappen på ditt incheckade bagage är det en rekommendation att förutom ditt namn och kontaktnummer/epost även anger vår lokala agent på plats: Anderson’s African Adventure, samt deras journummer för ev förlorat/försenat bagage (+255 788 456 456). Packningstips – Ficklampa. På grund av energi- och vattenransonering stänger många lodger av både varmvatten och el vid vissa tidpunkter. – Kamera. – Kikare med förstoringsgrad 8–10. Vissa resenärer kan uppleva att en bra kikare till och med kan vara mer värt än en kamera på safari. – Adapter till afrikanska stickkontakter. På många platser i Tanzania används fortfarande den brittiska stickkontaktsmodellen (commonwealth-modell) med tre pluggar. Vaccinationer Rådgör med läkare eller vaccinationscentral i god tid före avresan. Fotografering Under safarin ser vi vilda djur i sin naturliga miljö, i skyddade områden. Det betyder att man ofta stannar på avstånd hellre än att köra så nära att djuren störs. Teleobjektiv är nödvändigt för bra djurbilder, 135 mm kan räcka då det gäller större djur, men för mindre däggdjur och fåglar behövs 300–400 mm. Ta gärna med extra minneskort eller film hemifrån. Räkna med att en hel del film går åt om du inte använder digital utrustning. Att fotografera människor du möter kan ibland vara känsligt. Förr var det dessutom enligt lag förbjudet att fotografera en av folkgrupperna, massajerna. Endast efter direkt överenskommelse med dem kan du få ta bilder och du bör i förväg göra upp om ett pris. Överhuvudtaget är det en god regel att alltid fråga först, innan bilden tas. Uniformerad personal (polis, militär och parkvakter) får aldrig fotograferas.

Under resan finns möjlighet att besöka en massajby. Detta kostar 15 USD per person. Då får man fotografera hur mycket man vill i byn och även massajer; som annars tar just betalt om de ska bli fotograferade. Valuta Tanzanisk shilling (TZS). US-dollar är bra att ta med på resan. En rekommendation är att växla små belopp i taget. Möjlighet till valutaväxling på växlingskontor i Arusha dag två. De flesta hotell/lodger accepterar de vanligaste bankkorten, men tar ofta 5 procent i avgift. OBS, att vi på senare tid blivit informerade om att USD-sedlar äldre än 2006 ofta inte blir accepterade för kontant betalning. Därför rekommenderar vi att se till att inte ta med sådana dollarsedlar tryckta före 2006. Under safarin ingår helpension. Därför behöver du inte räkna med andra utgifter än personlig dricks, måltidsdrycker samt eventuella inköp av souvenirer. För mer information om valuta och kurs kontakta bank- eller växlingskontor. Dricks TEMAs reseledare samlar in dricks vid ankomst för gemensamma måltider och bagagehantering, beräkna 52 USD. Dricks till respektive safarichaufför ges vid avslutad safari direkt till chauffören (för en veckas safari rekommenderas cirka 50 USD). Totalt 102 USD. Vistelsen på Zanzibar är på egen hand och här dricksar var och en själv. Normen är cirka 1 USD per person vid lunch, och även middag. Därtill rekommenderas 1 USD per person till väskbärare vid ankomst till/avresa från hotellet på Zanzibar. Turistskatt Vid förlängning av resan till Zanzibar har öns myndigheter infört en infrastrukturskatt på hotellövernattningar i Zanzibar. Alla hotell måste ta ut en extraskatt som betalas direkt till hotellet vid incheckning. Pris per person och natt: 5 USD beroende på hotellets rating. Klimat Klimatuppgifter och aktuella väderprognoser finns bland annat på www.cnn.com, www.bbc.com eller www.yr.no. Under safarin befinner vi oss nära ekvatorn, men tänk på att norra Tanzania är ett höglandsområde. Serengeti och Ngorongoro ligger 1 500–2 600 meter över havet. På dagarna är det i regel hett med stark sol med temperaturer på över 30 grader. Från juni till augusti kan temperaturen sjunka under nollsträcket på nätterna i Ngorongoro. Hotellen/husen är inte lika välisolerade som hemma och nattkylan kan tränga in i rummen. I Tarangire bor vi i ett permanent tältläger där nätterna kan upplevas kyliga efter varma dagar. På Zanzibar är det varmt dygnet runt. Dygnets minimitemperatur ligger sällan under 25 grader. Klädsel Under dagsetapperna passar bekväma och oömma kläder. Shorts eller kjol kan i regel användas under dagarna, men ta med långbyxor och långärmade skjortor som skydd mot nattkyla, mygg och stark sol. Vi rekommenderar bekväma och väl ingångna skor. En lätt huvudbonad mot den starka solen är nödvändig och även bra solglasögon. Kvällar och morgnar kan tröja eller en lätt jacka behövas. Badkläder behövs givetvis både för dopp i lodgernas swimmingpool och på Zanzibar. Det kan vara bra att ha badskor med sig , eftersom havsbottnen kan vara taggig och vass samt att det förekommer sjöborrar. Övrigt Standarden på safarins lodger är god. Rummen och tälten är utrustade med bad/dusch och wc samt sängar med myggnät. Vistelsen på Zanzibar är på egen hand, utan TEMAs reseledare. Istället representeras TEMA av en lokala, engelsktalande, samarbetspartner på Zanzibar som sköter om transporterna mellan flygplats och hotell. Under sol- och baddagarna på Zanzibar finns möjlighet till en mängd aktiviteter som snorkling, båtutflykter, utflykt till Stenstaden och liknande. Detta kan arrangeras i hotellets regi eller av TEMAs lokala samarbetspartner. Information fås vid ankomst eller vid hotellets informationsdisk. Genom Jivita Foundation Tillsammans med vår lokala samarbetspartner är vi med och finansiellt stöder den proaktiva och ungdomsdrivna organisationen Jivita Foundation som adresserar olika socioekonomiska frågor och utmaningar som ungdomar möter i Tanzania. Följ deras aktiviteter på Instagram: @jivitafoundation. Observera Från och med juni 2019 förbjuds införande och användande av plastpåsar i Tanzania! Lämna plastpåsarna hemma (med undantag för de så kallade zip-lock påsar som man har vätskor i på flyget). Med avsikt att minska miljöförstöringen inför Tanzania stränga straff mot införande och användande av platspåsar. Liknande lag finns redan sedan 2017 i grannlandet Kenya och den nya lagen stöds av FN:s miljöprogram.

Serengeti är den viltrikaste nationalparken i norra Tanzania och en av de bästa safariupplevelser man kan göra, men det är viktigt att bo inne i nationalparken på rätt plats eftersom avstånden är stora och man vill vara nära djurlivet. Safarin är otrolig med rovdjur som lejon, leopard, gepard, serval och hyenor men också för de stora hjordarna med antiloparter, gnuer, zebror och migrationen som är här en stor del av året. Giraff, elefant, flodhäst och många fågelarter hittar man här helt naturligt. Serengeti har varierad natur med de stora grässlätterna i sydost och många kopjes där det ibland finns stora flockar med lejon och sedan savann med akacieträd i centrala Serengeti och vid Seronerafloden.

Serengeti är ett världsarvsområde utsett av UNESCO och man brukar säga att inom ekosystemet finns världens största och mest spektakulära koncentration av stora däggdjur. Här finns t.ex. uppskattningsvis 3000 lejon.

Tanzania in December: Short Rain, Safari and Weather Tips

• ~ mins read

Tanzania’s short rainy season draws to a close in early December and gives way to the short dry. There are fewer tourists, and prices are also lower compared to the peak season, making this month a good time to tour Tanzania . As the country emerges from its short rainy season, so does the wildlife. Emerald grasses blanket the Serengeti and other national parks. December also brings ideal weather for lounging on Zanzibar's picturesque beaches. From going on safari adventures to beach lounging, traveling to Tanzania in December is a great option if you want to avoid tourist crowds and the high season rates.

• From Estonia

Tanzania Weather in December

The weather in Tanzania during December is sunny and warm. The average daytime temperature hovers around 31°C (88°F). Evenings are much more bearable, with temperatures averaging around 25°C (77°F). Temperatures, however, differ regionally. Coastal areas such as Zanzibar witness temperatures between 24°C (75°F) and 32°C (90°F), whereas the highlands, including the Serengeti, see the temperature range between 15°C (59°F) and 27°C (81°F).

While early December will still see occasional rainfall, it will completely stop by the middle of the month. The lack of precipitation towards the second half of December makes for perfect safari conditions, as the animals congregate around water sources.

Check out our seasonal guide to find out the best time to visit Tanzania .

Weather in Tanzania in December - Rainfall and Temperatures

Why visit tanzania in december.

Warm and sunny weather conditions make December one of the best times to visit Tanzania. Outdoor activities like safari can be a pleasurable experience during this time. Here are some more reasons why it is a great idea to tour Tanzania in December .

• Start of the emerald season: Tanzania heralds the start of the 'Emerald Season’ in December as the country’s national parks witness a green, lush landscape that provides a beautiful backdrop for a safari experience.
• Ideal time for keen birders: Tanzania is a birdwatcher's paradise, and December is one of the best times for birdwatching. Sparse foliage offers a perfect opportunity to spot birds. Rainfall also helps by bringing out Tanzania's colorful feathered residents into view.
• Calving season: December is the month when wildebeests, the famous inhabitants of Serengeti, give birth to their young ones. The calving season runs from December to March, and there is a high chance that you can witness this magical moment on one of your game drives.
• Lower crowds and rates: The first half of December sees a lighter flow of tourists in the country, making it a good time to get some wonderful deals. We suggest making bookings in advance for these dates. The third and fourth week welcomes the Christmas and New Year crowds which brings a hike in prices for all services.
• Festivals: Swahili Fashion Week and the Zanzibar Beach and Watersports Festival are two popular festivals that take place in December. Swahili Fashion Week is the biggest annual fashion event in Central Africa where designers from Swahili regions showcase their sartorial talents. The Zanzibar Beach and Watersports Festival is a three-day event that celebrates the beach life of Tanzania in the form of various sports tournaments like kite surfing, bike racing, rugby, volleyball, and beach football.

Where to Go and What to Do

Visit the Serengeti National Park to witness an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and wildebeest. You may witness the last of the Great Migration of wildebeest in the northern areas of the national park. December is a tricky month for safari due to the lush vegetation impacting wildlife visibility, so we suggest consulting with on-the-ground guides and locals before making any plans.

Take a tour to Manyara National Park, known for its flamingos, elephants, and tree-climbing lions. December, being the bird-watching season, the park houses a large variety of bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.

For a relaxed beach holiday, Zanzibar is an ideal destination. Head to this exotic island paradise to unwind after a busy safari. The island is known for its beautiful beaches, turquoise waters, and rich culture. December is a great time to spot whale sharks, and if you are brave enough, choose to snorkel, dive, or swim in the waters alongside these magnificent creatures. The warm, white, sandy beaches are still a welcome respite for those who are not interested. You can also explore the Iraqw village. It is located in the country's highlands and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
