Detailed Itinerary, 8 Day Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holidays
Day 1: Arrival in Arusha
A Bruno African Safari representative will pick you up from the airport and drive you to your accommodation in Arusha, where you will overnight, relax, and prepare for the exciting adventures ahead.
Accommodation
Midrange: Arusha Planet Lodge
Day 2: Tarangire National Park
In the morning, your personal safari guide will collect you from your accommodation in Arusha. We will then embark on a journey to Tarangire National Park, traveling along a well-maintained tarmac road that crosses the gently rolling Maasai plains, dotted with acacia trees. As we drive, we will pass Maasai people in their vibrant attire, walking along the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle, and driving donkey carts. There’s also a chance we may catch sight of a lion stalking its prey or a leopard lounging in the trees above. After the safari, we will drive to one of our carefully selected partner lodges, where you can enjoy dinner in a stylish restaurant, relax by the pool, and unwind in spacious comfort.
Accommodation

Day 3: Ngorongoro Crater
Today, we depart early for the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Our destination is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa's seven wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Upon reaching the crater rim, we’ll descend the steep track into the 600-meter deep caldera, where we’ll encounter a variety of animals, grasslands, birds, and a lake. This massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals, including the "Big Five," spotted hyenas, and more than 500 bird species. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we’ll head to your hotel in Karatu for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4 Lake Manyara to Stone Town
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Manyara National Park, the final destination of your epic safari. Located 120 km west of Arusha, this relatively small yet diverse park is named after its shallow, saltwater lake. The lake, which floods and dries with the seasons, is home to thousands of flamingos and over 500 other bird species. During your exploration, you will encounter monkeys, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, buffaloes, elephants, and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is also known for its diverse landscapes, featuring not only open grassy plains but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab-dotted cliffs. After lunch, you will return to Arusha and, in the late afternoon, take a flight to Zanzibar (Stone Town).
Accommodation
Midrange: Maru Maru Hotel
Day 5 to 7: Stone Town to North Coast (Nungwi)
Nungwi, located in the northern part of the island, is a vibrant village surrounded by some of Zanzibar's most stunning beaches. At your preferred time, you will transfer to this location, approximately 50 km from Stone Town. Once a quiet fishing village, it has now become a lively, popular destination. Nungwi is also one of the few places where you can experience both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. Here, you can relax and enjoy the paradise of pristine white sand beaches and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. You will spend 4 nights in this incredible setting.
