Tanzania's most famous parks

World-class animal experiences

On this safari trip, you will be able to see the two most popular national parks in Tanzania. If you want to see what is probably Africa's most famous national park and what is known as the eighth wonder of the world, then this is the package for you. Serengeti is a fantastic national park with a magical combination of environment and wildlife.

The Serengeti is also known for the world's largest mammal migration, when up to two million wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles migrate between the Serengeti and Masai Mara in Kenya in search of fresh pasture. Depending on when you go, you may have the chance to witness this spectacle. Ngorongoro is the world's largest intact caldera, with a diameter of almost 20 kilometers.

During these days, you will see lots of animals and also get very close to them. However, there will be a lot of driving involved as there are long distances between these parks. Regardless, you will take home exciting and unforgettable encounters with Africa's amazing wildlife.

The Safari Jeep is a four-wheel drive Land Cruiser equipped with electric sockets that allow you to lift the roof for a perfect view of the savannah.

We recommend adding Zanzibar either after the safari or starting your trip in Zanzibar and ending with a safari. Zanzibar is known for its tropical greenery, warm turquoise sea, and long beaches lined with coconut palms. The island is just as suitable for total relaxation as it is for those who want to fill their days with experiences.

This package can be extended by one or more extra days in the Serengeti.

Days included in the package

Day 1 - Arrival at Kilimanjaro

Upon arrival, you will be met by your guide, who will be waiting outside the airport with a sign bearing your name. You will receive a warm welcome, and the guide will accompany you throughout the safari.

The adventure begins the moment you leave the airport and head toward Karatu, a lush area beautifully situated in the Tanzanian highlands. During the trip, you’ll get your first glimpse of everyday life in Tanzania, from the bustling streets of Arusha to the surrounding countryside with its small villages and farmland.
The trip to Karatu takes about 3.5 hours, and the roads are generally in good condition.

Day 2 - Ngorongoro - The Eighth Wonder of the World

Today, you’ll get up before sunrise and head down into the Ngorongoro Crater, which many consider to be one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. For many predators, this is the time of day when they are most active. The crater was formed several million years ago when a massive volcano collapsed, creating the imposing caldera that is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the crater rim, an exciting descent of about 600 meters awaits you to the crater floor, where one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich areas stretches out. Around 20,000–30,000 animals live here year-round, offering fantastic safari opportunities.
In the crater, you have the chance to see the Big Five, as well as buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and many other animals.

After the safari, you’ll continue on to your next accommodation in the Serengeti, and even along the way there’s a good chance you’ll encounter more exciting wildlife.

Day 3 - Serengeti - Among zebras and wildebeests

Today promises to be an exciting full day of safari in the Serengeti. You’ll get up early in the morning to witness the sun rising over the savanna as the wilderness slowly comes to life.
The day is spent spotting animals such as giraffes, ostriches, hyenas, antelopes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, and much more. The guide will tailor the safari to where the animals are located and will be happy to share their knowledge of the area and its wildlife.

At dusk, you’ll return to your accommodation in the heart of the Serengeti. Sitting in the middle of the savanna and gazing up at the starry sky is a truly special experience. It’s not uncommon to see animals moving about near the camp, and at night you can often hear the sounds of the savanna outside your tent.

Day 4 - Serengeti - Wildlife viewing and flight to Zanzibar

After an early breakfast, you’ll check out of your accommodation and set off on your final safari in the Serengeti. The area around Seronera is particularly rich in wildlife, and the animals are most active in the morning hours, offering a perfect opportunity for more memorable encounters with wildlife.

In the morning, you’ll be driven to the airport in the Serengeti to catch your flight to Zanzibar. Watching the savanna stretch out below during the flight is an experience in itself and a fantastic way to end your safari.
Upon arrival, you’ll be met by our local driver, who will take you to your hotel on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Here, you can look forward to relaxing days filled with sun, swimming, and beautiful beaches.

If you'd prefer to take the jeep back to Arusha or book your stay in Zanzibar on your own, that's certainly fine, too.

Activities

Days 5–9: Sun & Swimming

In Zanzibar, you can sink your feet into the warm sand, enjoy a delicious drink in the sun, or relax with a book in the shade.
We recommend Jambiani, an authentic and charming part of Zanzibar where you can get a close-up look at local daily life. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed, perfect for long walks along the beach and visits to small, intimate restaurants and beach bars. We offer many unique excursions in the area, including tours on our own traditional dhow, Mimi the Dhow.
If you’re looking for a livelier atmosphere, you can choose Paje instead, which is right next door and offers a wider selection of cafés, bars, and water sports—especially kitesurfing.

We also have a wide selection of accommodations in other parts of Zanzibar, so if you prefer a different beach, we’ll be happy to help you find the option that suits you best.

Our Swedish contact, Helen, is on the island and will be happy to help if you have any questions.

Day 10 - A spicy day in Stone Town

Today, we recommend that you visit the legendary Stone Town.

On the way there, our highly popular spice tour at a family-owned farm is the perfect stop. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch made with ingredients from the farm and have the chance to sample a variety of spices and tropical fruits. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch made with ingredients from the farm and have the chance to sample a variety of spices and tropical fruits.

After that, the driver will drop you off at your hotel in Stone Town. It is a fascinating city with labyrinthine alleys and beautiful old Arab houses. African, Arab, and Indian influences come together here, and much of the city’s charm has been preserved over the centuries.

In the evening, we recommend dinner at Emerson, a highly acclaimed dining experience that we’d be happy to help you book.

If you prefer to stay an extra night at your beach hotel, you can of course opt out of the overnight stay in Stone Town. We can also arrange a shorter visit to the city if you want to experience the atmosphere without changing hotels.

Day 11 - Return journey

Well in advance of your departure, you will be picked up at your hotel and driven to the airport. Depending on your flight time, you’ll have the chance to enjoy your final hours in Stone Town with a dip in the pool, a cup of coffee at one of the city’s charming rooftop terraces, or a stroll through the alleys to shop for souvenirs and local handicrafts.

Meet your travel advisors

We have Helen on site in Zanzibar, who has lived on the island for many years and has a deep knowledge of both Zanzibar and Tanzania in general. We can therefore offer personalized and unique experiences. Whether you dream of a private villa, an exclusive resort, or a bungalow, we will help you find what suits you best.

Our tour guides are always ready to help with any questions you may have about your trip. They are knowledgeable and dedicated, and their goal is to make your experience as smooth and memorable as possible.

Good to know

Robust and reliable safari jeeps

We use four-wheel drive Toyota Land Cruisers for all our safari tours in Tanzania. To ensure high quality and reliability, each jeep undergoes servicing after every trip. The roads to the parks are often paved, but inside the parks the terrain is more uneven, which makes for a slightly bumpy ride. However, our vehicles are equipped with comfortable soft seats for the most pleasant experience possible.

All our jeeps offer:

  • seating for up to 7 passengers, all with their own window seat
  • retractable roof offering unobstructed views of the savannah
  • power outlets for charging mobile phones, cameras, and other equipment
  • cool box where you can store any beverage

We are happy to help you book your airline tickets.

We have access to a system where we can compare a large number of flights and come up with several options based on your preferences, such as departure date, airline, number of stopovers, or departure city. We can book flights from most countries, not just Sweden.
The journey from Sweden usually takes around 14 hours, depending on the route.

If we find an option that suits you, we can also reserve the tickets, which means that the price is locked in for a short period while you consider your options. A reservation is not binding and can be canceled at any time if you decide not to proceed.

You are also welcome to book your own flight if you prefer.

  • For a pure safari trip in Tanzania, it is easiest to fly to and from Kilimanjaro (JRO).
  • If you combine a safari with Zanzibar, we recommend a multi-city ticket: fly to Kilimanjaro and home from Zanzibar (or vice versa if you want to end with the safari).

During certain periods in high season, we also have pre-booked airports on selected dates, which usually makes the price a little cheaper.

We usually book domestic flights between the mainland and Zanzibar, but you can also choose to do this yourself.

Currency & payment in Tanzania

Tanzania primarily uses Tanzanian shillings (TZS), but USD is sometimes accepted. However, it is often more expensive to pay in USD.

  • Withdrawing money
    Tanzanian shillings cannot be exchanged in Sweden, so you will need to withdraw money locally. There are ATMs at the airport, in Arusha, and in Moshi.
  • Card payments
    Most restaurants and hotels acceptcard payments, but there are still places where you can only pay in cash or where the card machine does not work. Therefore, it is important to always have cash as a backup.
  • Small bills
    It is smart to have small bills for buying fruit, water, snacks, or souvenirs. Therefore, be sure to ask for small bills when you shop at the beginning of your trip. A good plan is to withdraw a small amount at the airport when you arrive, and then withdraw more as needed after the safari.
  • Haggle with consideration
    Prices are often negotiable, but do so with respect. Avoid haggling just for the sake of it, as many sellers operate on very small margins.

Clothing tips for your safari in Tanzania

This may be good to keep in mind before going on a safari

  • The roof of the safari jeep provides good sun protection, so full-coverage clothing is not necessary. Feel free to choose light, airy, and loose-fitting garments.
  • Avoid bright colors, black, and dark blue, as these can attract insects.
  • The Ngorongoro area is located at high altitude and can be quite cold, especially in the mornings and evenings. Therefore, bring a warm sweater or jacket.
  • When visiting Moshi, Arusha, or other cities, it is advisable to dress respectfully.
  • Bring shoes with thick soles that can handle uneven terrain and protect against sharp thorns.

January - March

This is a fantastic time to travel. The lush, green landscapes create beautiful contrasts with the savannah, and the abundance of newborn animals attracts many predators. Temperatures are at their highest during these months. January and February are often dry, while the long rainy season usually begins at the end of March. If you travel in early March, you will usually experience the parks at their best, as it is beautiful, peaceful, and there are fewer tourists than during the high season.

April - May

This is the long rainy season, when it can rain for several days at a time. The parks are at their greenest and most lush, and the temperature is pleasant. The advantage of traveling now is that there are very few tourists. The disadvantage is that the roads can be difficult to navigate, and during heavy downpours, the car's roof and windows must be kept closed, which affects the experience. Many animals also seek shelter when it rains the most. Therefore, we do not recommend this period.

June - September

The long dry season is considered one of the best times for safaris. The vegetation is low, making it easier to spot animals, and many gather at waterholes. The weather is clear and dry, and this is the coolest period of the year. In Tarangire, this is a fantastic safari season as large numbers of animals make their way to the Tarangire River. During July and August, there are many visitors to the parks, so if possible, June or September is preferable.

October - December

Autumn is an excellent time to travel, with relatively few tourists and wonderful wildlife experiences. The migration returns south and the animals are often seen entering the Serengeti. There may be short rain showers, but they usually fall in the evening and disappear quickly, leaving a greener landscape and pleasant temperatures. The October break is a perfect week for a safari. December is also good, but Christmas and New Year's Eve are peak season with more tourists. If you can travel in early December or early January, that's even better.

Something that stood out in particular was all the friendly staff, at the hotel, safari guide Johnson, guide Emanuel in Moshi, and the taxi driver in Zanzibar. We learned a lot about the country, the animals, politics, and history. We are so happy!

It's not often that you go on trips that are so incredibly adrenaline-filled, yet so peaceful at the same time. We sat quietly out on the savannah and just listened to all the magical sounds. The best trip I've ever been on!

A tour operator that is responsive, knowledgeable, available, and well-informed. We went on safari in Tanzania (four national parks) and to Zanzibar.

I have always been a real adventurer, and this trip suited me perfectly. I chose to stay overnight in a Maasai village after my safari trip. It was an incredible experience where I helped herd animals, milked cows, and learned the Maasai's tricks for performing their traditional high jumps. I enjoyed sitting in the jeep and observing everything that happened along the way. This trip provided me with so many wonderful impressions!

Everything worked out great! We booked the flights ourselves and Nalini Tours took care of the rest. Guide, accommodation, food, transportation, etc. Our guide, Fidelis, was incredibly knowledgeable and saw things we would never have discovered.
