DAY BY DAY
A smiling face will be waiting for you at the Arrival in Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) which is about 50Km away from Arusha city. Your Safari guide will then transfer you to your accommodation for a relaxing dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, you will proceed towards Lake Manyara National Park with lunch hampers to enjoy in the park. The Park is an unexpected Oasis of Tropical ground forest, nestled deep at the foot of the western escarpment that looms over the Great African Rift Valley. The eponymous lake is a shallow alkaline lake, one of the many that bejewel the Rift Valley supporting vast flocks of flamingo that daub pink swathes across the African Horizon at sunset.
The think clumps of rainforest that border the lake harbor an exotic kaleidoscope of birds and monkeys, the dense canopy alive with the chatter and squawks of the tropical menagerie.
Break for a picnic lunch in one of the picnic sites in the park, while enjoying the amazing Lake shore and the wilderness. Continue with the game drive in the afternoon, before dinner and an overnight rest in one of the exquisite lodges of Karatu.
Add a cultural visit of an indigenous tribe for an extraordinary experience.

After breakfast you will head towards the Ngorongoro highlands, gaining your first view of this incredible natural wonder. You will descend into the caldera for a day of game viewing taking lunchhampers to enjoy on the crater floor. The stunning spectacle of this Unesco World Heritage site, with its steep walls falling some 610m to the floor, is undoubtedly one of the highlights of a safari in Tanzania. The Ngorongoro Conservation area is a pioneering experiment where the indigenous people (the Masai), their livestock and the wildlife co-exist and share the same protected habitat. It is not unusual to see the Masai people grazing their herds in the morning or afternoon in the vicinity of the crater. Ascend the rim to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.

Today you will head to THE SERENGETI (Africa’s leading national park for three consecutive years 2019-2021), Serengeti means “endless plains” in Ki-Maasai. Pass the Olduvai Gorge located between Lake Natron and Lake Eyasi, the gorge is an archeological site of immense importance, before finally descending 300ft into the volcanic Serengeti plains, your home for the next three days.
Follow the daily movements of the herds in their search for fresh grazing, the predators abound and search for those secretive species, like leopards, as well as the more visible species, like lions in these four days. Expect to see frequent kills and also experience the assemblage of peripheral animals such as vultures, jackals and hyenas who wait patiently to claim their share of this abundance, and so much more at yours and your family’s discretion.
Spend the rest of the days exploring the Serengeti at your own pace and time. You may take breakfast hampers prepared for you at the lodge and drive back to the lodge for a hot sumptuous meal, or have a late relaxed breakfast and proceed for game drives with picnic hampers. Spend the afternoon at your leisure and depart for an evening game drive and sun downer.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to a bush Airstrip in Serengeti for your flight to Zanzibar. There is nothing more enticing for a family with children than a Beach! Time for “The Sun, The Sand and The Sea”.
Whether it’s a quick cultural fix you’re after, or scintillating diving, or just palm lined beach where you can laze away the day, a few days on the island is the perfect way to conclude your holiday.
The highlights of a stay in Zanzibar is the old Stone town with its traditional Swahili atmosphere and wealth of fascinating buildings, the sea and the coral reefs, which offer diving, snorkeling and game fishing, the cloves and coconut plantations that cover the interior of the spice island, the dolphins of kisimkazi, the colobus monkeys of Jozani and the giant sea turtles of Nungwi.
You can choose to spend your time here by simply sunbathing on the pure white sandy beaches, building sand castles with your little ones whilst getting a beautiful tan, or getting active with beach activities and water sports.
The evenings can be spent on a sundowner dhow ride or by just sitting on the beach watching the glamorous sunset while your children collect the shell souvenirs from the beach, before finally ending the day with a traditional Swahili meal.
Today, being the finale of the 10 bonding days spent together with your family, you will be transferred to Zanzibar’s International Airport, in time for your flight back home.
