Questions travellers ask about this trip
- Where does this safari start and end?
- You arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and begin from Arusha; the trip ends on Zanzibar, with your departure from Zanzibar International Airport on day eleven — so book your flights as an open-jaw rather than a return.
- Which parks does the Northern Circuit portion cover?
- Tarangire with its baobabs and river wildlife, Lake Manyara beneath the Rift Valley escarpment, three days in the Serengeti, and a full-day game drive down inside the Ngorongoro Crater.
- Will I see the Great Migration?
- The itinerary gives you three days in the Serengeti, with the chance to see the migration in season. Where the herds are depends on your travel month — tell us your dates and we shape the Serengeti days around them.
- How do I get from the safari to Zanzibar?
- By air: on day eight you transfer to Arusha Airport for a domestic flight to Zanzibar, swapping the plains for a beachfront resort the same day.
- What is the Zanzibar portion like?
- Three nights on the coast with the pace yours to set: a free beach day, and optional excursions such as a spice tour or a visit to Stone Town before your departure.
