7-Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar From Dubai

Your Tanzania & Zanzibar journey begins with your flight from Dubai to Zanzibar. Arrive at Zanzibar International Airport and meet your private representative for the transfer to historic Stone Town. After checking in, enjoy time to rest after your journey before exploring the atmospheric streets, markets and historic landmarks of Stone Town on a guided walking tour. This relaxed first day allows you to settle into Zanzibar before continuing to the Tanzania safari circuit tomorrow.

After breakfast, transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your flight to Arusha. On arrival, meet your private safari guide and begin your journey into Northern Tanzania. Continue by private safari vehicle towards Tarangire National Park, known for its spectacular baobab landscapes and large elephant populations. Depending on your flight arrival time, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park before continuing to your safari lodge or camp for the evening.

Today marks the transition from Zanzibar's historic coast to Tanzania's wild northern landscapes.

After breakfast, enjoy a final morning in the Tarangire area before continuing towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The journey takes you through the changing landscapes of Northern Tanzania, from the open plains and baobab country around Tarangire towards the highlands surrounding the Ngorongoro Crater. Arrive at your lodge in the afternoon and settle in for the evening, ready for an early start and your crater descent tomorrow.

The evening is spent in the Ngorongoro highlands, close to one of Tanzania's most extraordinary wildlife destinations.

Rise early for one of the highlights of your Tanzania safari — a game drive inside the Ngorongoro Crater. Descend into the crater for a morning wildlife experience surrounded by its dramatic natural walls. The crater floor is home to an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, offering opportunities to see elephants, lions, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest and other species.

After the crater experience, continue towards Lake Manyara National Park for an afternoon game drive, exploring its varied landscapes of woodland, open plains and seasonal wetlands.

Later, transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Zanzibar. On arrival, meet your private transfer and continue to Nungwi on Zanzibar's northern coast.

By evening, your safari adventure gives way to three nights beside the Indian Ocean.

Wake up beside the Indian Ocean and enjoy your first full day at Riu Palace Swahili in Nungwi. After the adventure of your Tanzania safari, today is intentionally unhurried. Settle into the resort, enjoy the beach and swimming pools, and make the most of the all-inclusive experience.

Spend the day at your own pace — relax on the beach, enjoy the resort's facilities, take a swim in the Indian Ocean or simply unwind with a drink while taking in the views.

With your accommodation on an all-inclusive basis, everything is designed to make these final days of your journey effortless and relaxing.

Enjoy another full day on Zanzibar's northern coast at Riu Palace Swahili All Inclusive Beach Resort. After several days of safari, today is dedicated entirely to relaxation and enjoying the Indian Ocean.

Take advantage of the resort's beautiful beachfront setting, swimming pools, restaurants and leisure facilities, or simply spend the day enjoying the white-sand beach and warm waters of Nungwi.

With your stay on an all-inclusive basis, you can relax without having to plan every moment — making this the perfect way to wind down before your journey home.

Enjoy your final morning in Zanzibar at Riu Palace Swahili All Inclusive Beach Resort. Take some time for a final breakfast and enjoy the resort before your private transfer to Zanzibar International Airport.

Your journey comes to an end as you depart Zanzibar for Dubai, taking home memories of Tanzania's wildlife, the landscapes of Northern Tanzania and the beaches of Zanzibar.

Safari, culture and the Indian Ocean — all in one unforgettable journey.
