Year-round; route and accommodation adjusted to conditions
A proposed daily flow. Timings, rooms and arrangements are confirmed in your personal itinerary.
Meet your transfer on arrival and settle into your accommodation.
Keep the afternoon free after your flight; your safari briefing covers the route, luggage and the next morning’s departure.

Leave Arusha after breakfast for Tarangire.
Explore riverine tracks and baobab country with a picnic lunch, watching for elephants and the smaller details your guide points out. Continue to the Karatu area before evening.

Enjoy a later breakfast and time at your accommodation.
A locally hosted farm or village visit can be arranged in advance, with permission and payment agreed by your host. Otherwise keep the day free for reading, gardens and rest.

Set your pace with your guide: an early start with a picnic lunch, or morning and afternoon drives with a camp break.
Follow current wildlife activity around the central plains and river systems without a fixed species checklist.

A second full day allows patience at promising sightings and a different route through the central Serengeti.
Look beyond the large mammals to birds, tracks and changing light. Your guide adjusts the day to conditions and your interests.

Transfer to the airstrip and fly to Zanzibar on the confirmed routing, which may involve intermediate stops.
Meet your island transfer and settle into your beach hotel. Today is a transfer day rather than a full safari or beach day.

Swimming conditions vary by coast, tide and weather. Ask about locally operated marine excursions if you would like an activity; these are optional and separately confirmed.

Travel to Stone Town for a guided introduction to its streets, architecture and layered history.
Plan breaks from the heat and wear clothing appropriate to town visits. Continue to your beach accommodation after the visit.

Enjoy another unstructured island day.
Choose a quiet morning at your hotel or book a guided activity suited to the weather and your interests. Leave room to do less after the early starts of safari.
