A private 10-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar journey combining Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the legendary Serengeti with three relaxing nights on Zanzibar's northern coast. Designed for travellers from Dubai who want a deeper safari experience without giving up time at the beach.
The Classic Serengeti Escape
Go beyond a short introduction to Tanzania with a private safari that gives you more time in the country's most iconic wildlife destinations, followed by a relaxing Zanzibar beach stay.
Your journey begins in Zanzibar after your flight from Dubai, with time to experience historic Stone Town before flying to Arusha and entering Tanzania's northern safari circuit.
Explore the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park, experience the extraordinary wildlife of the Ngorongoro Crater, and then continue into the legendary Serengeti National Park for several days of game viewing across its vast plains.
After your safari, fly back to Zanzibar and spend three nights on the northern coast, where you can slow down and enjoy the Indian Ocean.
Designed for travellers from Dubai who want more than a quick safari, this journey balances wildlife, scenery and relaxation while keeping the overall travel flow straightforward.
As with all Emnel Adventures journeys, the itinerary can be tailored around your preferred accommodation, travel dates, budget and interests.

The itinerary
Depart Dubai on your scheduled flight to Zanzibar. On arrival, you will be met by our local representative and transferred to your hotel in historic Stone Town.
Keep the first day intentionally relaxed after your flight. Settle into your accommodation, enjoy the atmosphere of Zanzibar's historic capital and take some time to rest before the safari adventure begins.
Depending on your arrival time, there may be an opportunity for a gentle walk through Stone Town or to enjoy dinner at your hotel.
After breakfast, transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your flight to the Serengeti.
On arrival, meet your private safari guide and begin exploring one of Africa's most celebrated wildlife destinations. Depending on your flight and arrival time, enjoy your first game drive through the Serengeti as you make your way towards your camp or lodge.
The vast open plains, acacia-dotted landscapes and abundant wildlife mark the beginning of the safari's main highlight.
Arrive at your Serengeti accommodation and settle in for your first night in the heart of the wilderness.
Wake up in the Serengeti and spend a full day exploring its extraordinary wildlife-rich plains.
With a private safari vehicle and experienced local guide, you can follow the wildlife rather than a fixed schedule. Search for lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest and other plains game.
The Serengeti is also home to the annual Great Migration, although the park offers exceptional wildlife experiences throughout the year.
A full day here allows you to slow down, explore different areas and experience the Serengeti beyond a brief game drive.
After breakfast, descend into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive.
The crater floor is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, with opportunities to see lions, elephants, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, hippos and many other species within the dramatic volcanic landscape.
After your crater experience, ascend from the crater and continue towards the Lake Manyara area.
Settle into the Escarpment luxury lodge. Manyara, your comfortable base for the evening, ready for the next stage of your safari tomorrow.
Continue to Arusha for your onward flight to Zanzibar.
On arrival in Zanzibar, your private driver will transfer you to Melia Zanzibar, where the pace changes from safari adventure to Indian Ocean relaxation.
Check in, unwind and enjoy your first evening beside the beach.
Wake up at Melia Zanzibar and enjoy a relaxed day on the island.
After several days exploring Tanzania's national parks, today is deliberately unhurried. Spend time by the beach, enjoy the resort's facilities, swim in the Indian Ocean or simply relax and take in the tropical surroundings.
Optional excursions can also be arranged if you would like to explore more of Zanzibar.
Enjoy your final full day in Zanzibar at Melia Zanzibar.
Take the opportunity to relax completely after your safari, enjoy the resort and the Indian Ocean, or choose an optional experience such as a Stone Town visit, spice tour, dolphin excursion or other island activity.
Take the boat to the famous Mnemba Island and swim with the colorfull fishes, then go for a sunset dhow cruise to enjoy the best sunset views in Africa
