Absolute Tanzania Safari
This safari begins in Arusha, known for its coffee estates and the Shanga Centre, where artisans with disabilities create handcrafted glassware, jewelry, and home décor. After choosing either a coffee tour or a visit to Shanga, you’ll enjoy a fireside dinner—a distinctly Tanzanian way to start your journey.
Continue to the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most remarkable natural wonders. Its wildlife-rich caldera hosts pink flamingos, kori bustards, and Augur buzzards around Lake Magadi. You may also opt to visit the Olduvai Gorge, a fascinating archaeological site that reveals the story of early humankind.
Next, head to the Serengeti National Park, where the Great Migration brings thousands of wildebeests and zebras across the plains, closely followed by lions and crocodiles. The Serengeti is also home to the Big Five and rare species like the African wild dog and grey-crowned crane.After your time in the bush, you’ll fly to Zanzibar to unwind. This Indian Ocean island offers pristine beaches, calm turquoise waters, and an ideal setting for relaxation or water activities which makes it an excellent way to conclude your Tanzania adventure.
