Fantastic combination of safari & relaxation on Zanzibar

Safari in an off-road vehicle in a small group

Your entire safari will take place in a well-maintained all-terrain vehicle. There are seven individual window seats, ensuring every guest in your small group sits by the window. There’s also a pop-up safari roof for optimal wildlife viewing conditions.

As close as possible to the big game migration

Within the Serengeti, you’ll stay in different regions depending on the season. In January-February, you’ll stay in Ndutu/South Serengeti, in June in the West, from July to October in the North, and from November to December in the Central-Northern Serengeti. This gives you the best chance of seeing millions of wildebeest and zebra on their annual migration cycle—always following the lush pastures.

Stone Town & Relaxing on Zanzibar

Finally, you’ll spend one night in the old town of Stone Town on Zanzibar. Enjoy a detailed tour, including a visit to the fragrant market and a Swahili dinner with a local family. Afterwards, you’ll head off to the Indian Ocean beach for three days of relaxation!

Filmed for you: The 14-day Tanzania Great Migration trip in a 4-minute short film. A mountain warriors camera team accompanied a tour group and presents the highlights of this trip

Your tour guide in Tanzania

A German-speaking Tanzanian guide will accompany you throughout the safari from and to Arusha. Our German-speaking guide, who is a native of Zanzibar, will greet you in Stone Town. This means you’ll always have an expert by your side!

Best time to travel to Tanzania

Tanzania has a tropical climate. It is warm year-round. In the higher elevations (e.g., the Serengeti at 900–1,850 m), temperatures range from 21–26°C during the day, dropping significantly at night. In Zanzibar, temperatures are around 30°C year-round. The rainy season is from mid-March to May. We recommend June–March as the best time to travel.

Your itinerary: Fascinating impressions day after day

Soon, the wait will be over, and your long-awaited dream will become reality!

Welcome to Kilimanjaro!
In the morning, you’ll fly to Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. On the drive to your lodge, you’ll see Mount Kilimanjaro, if it’s not shrouded in clouds. In a tropical garden with a pool and coffee plants, you’ll have time to acclimatize, sip a cup of coffee or tea, and enjoy a sundowner to kick off your East African journey. An introduction to the safari will be given by our local, German-speaking partner.

Animals in a unique setting
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, rightly called the eighth wonder of the world! The lush pastures support an immense number of animals: up to 25,000 mammals inhabit the crater at any one time. Unique in Tanzania! The abundant food supply of antelope magically attracts big cats, which is why the crater is home to one of the largest predator populations in all of Africa. Large colonies of pink flamingos can occasionally be seen at the saline Lake Magadi.
