9-Day Tanzania Bush and Beach Safari

Classic wildlife, then genuine rest — the northern circuit followed by Zanzibar.

Overview
9 Days / 8 Nights

A complete first Tanzania trip, pairing the classic northern circuit — Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti — with a closing stretch on Zanzibar’s beaches, giving equal weight to wildlife and rest rather than treating the beach as an afterthought.
