12 days Classic Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Escape | Great Wildebeest Migration Experience

From the Hearts of the Serengeti and the Indian Ocean – A Journey That Touches the Soul

This 12-day Classic Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar beach escape is a beautifully balanced journey that captures the very essence of East Africa — from the raw drama of the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti to the soothing elegance of Zanzibar’s white-sand shores and turquoise waters.

Thoughtfully designed to flow naturally from one destination to the next, the safari begins in Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife regions. Explore the elephant-rich landscapes of Tarangire National Park, descend into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, and venture deep into the Serengeti, where vast plains come alive with migrating wildebeest, prowling predators, and unforgettable safari moments. Each day brings intimate wildlife encounters, guided by experienced professionals who understand the rhythm of the land.

The journey then softens as you fly to Zanzibar, where palm-lined beaches, warm Indian Ocean breezes, and unhurried days invite you to relax and reconnect. Here, luxury meets simplicity — time slows, sunsets linger, and the memories of the wild gently blend with barefoot beach living.

Ideal for honeymooners, couples, and travelers seeking a timeless Tanzania and Zanzibar safari, this experience combines iconic wildlife, refined comfort, and meaningful moments.

Day 3-4: The Serengeti Awaits! | 2 Nights

Serengeti National Park: A Natural Wonder

After breakfast, a drive to the place the Maasai call Siringit, where the land moves on forever.’ Tanzania’s first game reserve, the Serengeti National Park, is one of the last remaining natural migration corridors and one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Its climate, vegetation, and fauna have remained mostly unchanged over the past million years. The instinct that drives the annual Great Migration of more than a million wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra is so powerful that neither drought nor crocodile-infested rivers can halt it.

Unwind at Serengeti Kamwene Tented Camp

The drive to your Serengeti Kamwene Tented Camp whets your appetite for more. After settling into your suite, you waste no time taking your place on the afternoon game drive. There is so much to see here that the drive lasts until sundowner time, when your ranger selects a scenic spot to stop and delve into the generous picnic hamper. After sunset, the game drive continues with a deftly operated spotlight, seeking out the nocturnal creatures that emerge after dusk. You return to camp in time to freshen up and join your fellow explorers to dine under the stars. The emphasis at this camp is on a comfortable, close-to-nature experience. In addition to daily game drives, we highly recommend an early morning hot-air balloon ride.
