Breakfast lunch and dinner are provided. 4 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided
Tarangire National Park is almost 3000sq km in size and is probably best known for its huge numbers of elephants and baobab trees. The name of the park comes from the Tarangire River which crosses through the park. Tarangire is especially spectacular during the dry season (June - November) as wildlife concentrations rival that of the Serengeti (since enormous populations of elephants and other animals are drawn to the Tarangire River as their only source of water). With its varied habitats and permanent water in the Tarangire River, the park is home to over 2000 elephants and 500 bird species.
ACCMODATION

Enjoy an afternoon game drive before moving on to Pori Pori Tented Camp
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. 4 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
The Serengeti National Park is the world's last great wildlife refuge as it contains an estimated three million large animals, most of which take part in a seasonal migration that is one of nature's wonders. The area covers 14,763sq km and the name Serengeti comes from the Maasai word 'Siringet', meaning endless plains.
ACCOMODATION
Have the half in Serengeti and then after lunch, drive to the rim of Ngorongoro Crater to overnight at Ngorongoro Embalakai Lodge.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. 4 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
There are several documented resident lion prides just within a one-hour game drive radius from Seronera. During the dry season, the resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories and concentrate in the central region of the park. The dry season is a particularly good time for lion viewing in Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of the best areas in Africa to spot the elusive leopard. You may be lucky enough to encounter this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that dot the banks of the Seronera River.
ACCOMODATION
Today after breakfast, descend into the crater for a crater game tour.
After lunch, drive back to Arusha and proceed to Kilimanjaro Airport for your flight to Zanzibar. On arrival at Zanzibar, you will be met and transferred to Tembo Hotel for your overnight stay on a bed and breakfast basis.
Breakfast and lunch are provided. 4 small bottles of water (500ml) per person are also provided.
Often called the eighth Natural Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago, the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometres wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals.
ACCOMODATION
Today you will be picked up from the hotel and taken on a Stone Tour which will take you through fabled Stone Town, where history appears to stand still. With visits to the House of Wonders, the Palace Museum (People's Palace), Dr Livingston's House and the Arab Fort amongst others, it is a fascinating look at the essence of Zanzibar. You will see Zanzibar's bustling market, winding alleyways, ornately carved and studded doors, two cathedrals and countless mosques.
After lunch, you will be taken by boat to Prison Island to see the turtles and you can enjoy snorkelling.

The history of Zanzibar would be incomplete without the cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and many other spices which brought the Sultans of Oman. They can be seen in the plantations just outside Zanzibar town, and a good tour includes opportunities to dazzle the senses with fresh spices. The spice tour does not only involve spices but also organically grown herbs and a detailed description of their traditional uses in medicine cosmetics and cooking.
