6-day Tanzania safari from Zanzibar combining classic wildlife viewing with an authentic walking safari adventure. Explore Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and enjoy close encounters with nature alongside expert guides before flying back to Zanzibar.

A Magical 6 Day Safari of Wildlife & Unparalleled Adventure

This 6-day safari from Zanzibar combines Tanzania’s Northern Circuit with a more active start, beginning in Arusha National Park before moving into the classic safari route.

From the forested slopes and walking safari experience in Arusha National Park to the elephant-rich plains of Tarangire National Park, into the open savannah of Serengeti National Park, and finishing with the Ngorongoro Crater, the route is structured to build gradually while keeping travel logical.

Six days, four areas — what to expect:

• Arusha National Park — walking safari, forest, Mount Meru views, and Momella Lakes

• Tarangire National Park — large elephant herds, baobabs, and river-based wildlife viewing

• Central Serengeti — open plains, consistent wildlife, and strong predator presence

• Ngorongoro Crater — high-density wildlife and one of the best chances to see the Big Five

The route builds with intention — starting with a more active, close-up introduction, then moving into classic game drives in Tarangire and the Serengeti, and finishing with a final descent into Ngorongoro Crater.
