Day 1: Arusha Tanzania
Arusha, located beneath the mighty gaze of Mount Meru, is an ideal base for exploring Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit. It's difficult to think of another location in the world that is so close to so many national parks and game reserves! The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are only a short flight away, as are Arusha's famous coffee plantations.
Day 2 – 3: Tarangire National Park
The Northern Safari Circuit of Tanzania contains the undiscovered gem of Tarangire National Park. It provides a fantastic East African safari because elephants, lions, and other game swarm to its river banks and swamps during the dry season!
Day 4 – 5: Ngorongoro Crater
Since 1959, Ngorongoro Crater has been a part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Aside from having a fertile floor and thus an abundance of wildlife (particularly the Big 5), the crater is also the world's only intact caldera. Many people believe that before Ngorongoro erupted, it would have been higher than Kilimanjaro.
Day 6 – 7: Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park, which spans 1.5 million hectares, is known for its impressive wildlife population, most notably the Big 5. It is perhaps best known for serving as a backdrop for the annual Great Migration. Every year, over two million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and a small herd of zebra migrate south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before returning.
Day 8 – 12: Zanzibar
The Zanzibar Archipelago is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean off Tanzania's coast. Centuries ago, the island was an important area for spice trade, first with the Arab world in the eleventh century, before falling under the rule of Arab sultans, who reigned over the islands for several years, assimilating the local Swahili.
