Overview of the suggested Tanzania safari lodges and activities:

Definitely a YZ favorite itinerary, this Northern Tanzania safari-and-beach combination includes two Nomad Tanzania properties, so you can expect camps in beautifully rugged locations. You’ll start with a stopover in Arusha, at the Rivertrees Country Inn, before traveling to the Ngorongoro Crater. Here, you’ll stay at Entamanu Ngorongoro, a serious contender for the best property on the Crater rim. After experiencing a safari down to the Crater floor, it’s off to the Serengeti for a few days of open plains, traditional safari experiences, and epic wildlife encounters, while staying at another Nomad property, Serengeti Safari Camp.

Your last few days are spent at Breezes Beach Club & Spa, on the south-east coast of Zanzibar. Breezes is the oldest and most established resort on the island – it’s a real favorite at YZ!

On arrival into Tanzania, you’ll spend the first night at Rivertrees Country Inn in Arusha.

Days 2-4 NGORONGORO CRATER

Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania shutterstock 41807068

Today is the start of the safari section of the trip as you leave Arusha and head to the Ngorongoro Crater. Staying in Nomad Tanzania’s property Entamanu Ngorongoro, you’ll be placed on the very rim of the Crater. We love the stylish simplicity of this camp’s mess and guest tents, as well as the breath-taking views both into the Crater and north-west towards the plains of the Serengeti. While you’re here, you’ll enjoy a game drive in the famous Crater, which is home to all Big Five, numerous smaller mammals, and ample birdlife. Guided walks up on the highlands around the Crater rim are available too. And you can enjoy interactions with the local Maasai, for a little culture on safari!

Days 4-8 SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Wildebeest Great Migration, Serengeti Tanzania

From the Ngorongoro Crater, you’ll head to the Serengeti, where you’ll stay in your second Nomad Tanzania property, Serengeti Safari Camp. This property is famous for being the oldest mobile camp in the area – and we reckon it’s among the most adventurous too! The camp travels hundreds of miles every year to seek out the most exciting sights of the Great Migration, ensuring that guests are guaranteed a front-row seat at this spectacular show. We really like the informal atmosphere here, along with the first-rate guiding. Come the end of each day, there’s usually a gathering around the campfire, with everyone keen to share their safari stories!

For the last leg of this Tanzania adventure, you’ll fly out to Zanzibar and stay at Breezes Beach Club & Spa. This fabulous property is located on the south-east coast of the island, and it’s absolutely ideal for relaxing after your time on safari. All communal lounges and dining areas have a lovely laidback vibe, and the swimming pool is excellent for cooling off in the heat of the day. Breezes has tennis courts too, as well as an activities center offering a great range of watersports – windsurfing, kite surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, and more! Breezes even has its own spa, for the ultimate in chilling out at the end of your vacation!
