15 Day Safari Trip Tanzania and Zanzibar Beach Holiday

A 15-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach holiday combines thrilling wildlife viewing in renowned national parks, such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, with relaxation on Zanzibar’s pristine beaches. You can expect game drives to see the “Big Five” animals and the Great Migration, cultural experiences, and historical exploration of Stone Town, with optional activities such as snorkeling, diving, and sunset cruises in Zanzibar.

Discover the best of Tanzania with this exciting 15-day safari and beach holiday. You’ll explore the wildlife of northern Tanzania and relax on the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar. This trip is ideal for nature lovers and anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway. From Tanzania’s famous parks to Zanzibar’s peaceful beaches, you’ll experience the ultimate African adventure. Arrival in Arusha: Kick off your adventure with a walking tour of this vibrant town.

Arusha National Park is the ‘odd one out’ in Tanzania’s Northern safari circuit – of the Big Five, only buffalo is regularly seen. There are plenty of photographic opportunities, though. Tarangire National Park: Spot huge herds of elephants and other wildlife.

Lake Manyara National Park: Discover water animals and diverse birdlife. Ngorongoro Crater: Descend into the crater for exceptional game viewing and a chance to see rhinos and flamingos.

Serengeti National Park: Witness the vast plains and, potentially, the Great Wildebeest Migration and African predators like lions and cheetahs.

Olduvai Gorge: Visit this “Cradle of Mankind” for a historical and archeological stop en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Zanzibar: Fly to the islands for a tranquil beach retreat, with activities such as exploring Stone Town’s spice culture and enjoying optional water sports.

Private Tours: Many tours offer private vehicles and guides for a personalized experience at your own pace. Wildlife Focus: The safari portion prioritizes seeing the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, buffalo), the Great Migration, and other diverse species.

Cultural Experiences: Beyond wildlife, tours often include visits to local villages like Mto wa Mbu and, in Zanzibar, the historic Stone Town. Optional Activities: Zanzibar offers optional water sports, fishing, and scuba diving in its clear waters.

Best Time To Visit – Uganda

The best time to visit Uganda is from June to August and December to February, which are the Dry seasons. Wildlife viewing is at its peak then. Primate walks in the forest are a big part of any safari in Uganda. The habitat of rainforests is, by default, very wet, and you can’t avoid rain completely. However, after heavy rain, the skies often open up to bright sunshine.

Is it safe to travel to Uganda?

Uganda is a safe country to visit, especially when your part of an organized game drive with private guides, as you will be with us. These tours are designed to enhance your safety and provide you with a well-guided experience. There are, of course, some places to avoid in big cities like Kampala or Entebbe. But – as with everywhere else in the world – you’ll be fine by taking some precautions. Just some examples to be on the safe side, pun intended, don’t explore the city at night without a driver or guide, keep your valuables close to you, avoid wearing prominent and visible jewelry, and leave some things like passports in the hotel safe.

And then there’s the birdlife-with more than 1,000 species of all kinds and colors, Uganda is a birdwatcher’s paradise. And if you love primates, Uganda clearly is your place to be: the diverse jungles are home to as many as 24 species of monkeys, from the nocturnal to the beautifully colored blue monkeys and the breathtaking mountain gorillas and Chimpanzee in their Natural Habitat.
