Experience the wildlife of Tanzania and the beautiful beaches of Zanzibar on this 10-day safari and beach holiday designed for travelers visiting in 2027, 2028 and 2029. This journey combines game drives through three of Tanzania’s best-known wildlife destinations with time to relax beside the Indian Ocean. From watching elephants beneath ancient baobab trees in Tarangire to searching for lions on the Serengeti plains and exploring the Ngorongoro Crater, the safari offers a wonderful introduction to Tanzania’s natural attractions before continuing to Zanzibar.
The first part of your holiday takes you through northern Tanzania, where you will visit Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. These destinations are known for their varied landscapes and wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeest and many bird species. Depending on the season and the movement of the animals, you may also encounter large herds associated with the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti.
After several days exploring Tanzania’s national parks, your journey continues to Zanzibar, where white sandy beaches, warm coastal weather and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean provide a relaxing change of scenery. You can spend your time swimming, enjoying your beach resort or joining optional activities such as snorkeling, visiting Stone Town or exploring Zanzibar’s spice farms. The combination makes this holiday particularly suitable for couples, honeymooners, families and first-time visitors who want to experience both safari and beach destinations in one trip.
At Eddy Tours & Safaris, we organize private and customized Tanzania holidays according to your preferred travel dates, accommodation level and budget.

Why Choose a 10-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Holiday?
A ten-day holiday provides enough time to experience some of Tanzania’s main wildlife destinations without spending the entire trip traveling between national parks. The itinerary begins with a safari in northern Tanzania, where each destination offers a different landscape and wildlife experience. Tarangire is particularly well known for elephants and baobab trees, while the Serengeti is famous for its extensive plains, predators and seasonal wildebeest movements. Ngorongoro Crater offers another type of safari experience, with wildlife concentrated within a large volcanic caldera.
The second part of the holiday allows you to slow down and enjoy Zanzibar’s beaches. After early mornings, long game drives and several days traveling through the safari circuit, spending time beside the Indian Ocean is a pleasant way to finish your Tanzania holiday. Zanzibar also offers cultural and historical attractions for travelers who want to explore beyond the beach.
Another advantage is flexibility. This itinerary can be arranged with mid-range lodges, comfortable tented camps or luxury safari properties, followed by a beach hotel that suits your preferences. Families may prefer resorts with swimming pools and family rooms, while honeymooners may choose quieter beachfront accommodation with private dining options.

Complete 10-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Holiday Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport – Transfer to Arusha
Destination: Arusha, Tanzania
Accommodation: Hotel or lodge in Arusha
Meals: According to arrival arrangements
Your Tanzania holiday begins when you arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where a representative from Eddy Tours & Safaris will welcome you and assist with your transfer to Arusha. The journey takes you through the landscapes of northern Tanzania, passing local communities, agricultural areas and views of Mount Meru when weather conditions are clear. Depending on your arrival time, you may travel directly to your hotel or make a short stop along the way.
After checking in, the remainder of the day is reserved for relaxation following your international journey. You can enjoy the hotel facilities, have a meal and prepare for the wildlife safari beginning the following morning. If you arrive early and would like to explore Arusha, a short town visit can be discussed in advance, although this is not part of the standard itinerary unless included in your quotation.
During the evening, your safari guide or company representative will provide a briefing about the upcoming journey. You will have an opportunity to review the itinerary, discuss expected travel times, ask questions about wildlife viewing and confirm the arrangements for the following morning. Your guide will also explain important park rules and how to behave safely during game drives.
Spending your first night in Arusha provides time to recover from your flight before beginning the safari. It also makes the following morning’s departure more comfortable, particularly for travelers arriving from Europe, North America or other long-distance destinations.
Overnight: Arusha
Day 2: Arusha to Tarangire National Park – Full-Day Game Drive
Destination: Tarangire National Park
Activity: Wildlife game drive
Accommodation: Safari lodge or tented camp near Tarangire or Karatu
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
After breakfast, you depart Arusha with your professional safari guide and travel toward Tarangire National Park. The drive generally takes approximately two to three hours, depending on your starting location, traffic and road conditions. As you leave the city, the scenery changes to open countryside, local villages and the landscapes surrounding Tanzania’s northern safari circuit.
Tarangire National Park is particularly famous for its elephants and large baobab trees, which create a distinctive landscape. The Tarangire River is an important water source for wildlife, especially during the dry season when animals gather around areas where water remains available. During your game drive, you may encounter elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, impalas and other animals moving through the grasslands and woodland.
Your guide will explore different parts of the park according to wildlife activity and road conditions. Lions are present in Tarangire, while leopards and other predators may also be encountered, although sightings cannot be guaranteed. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the park’s varied habitats, which support numerous bird species, including birds of prey, waterbirds and colorful woodland birds.
Lunch will be enjoyed at a designated picnic area or through arrangements made by your lodge. After further wildlife viewing in the afternoon, you will leave the park and travel to your accommodation for dinner and overnight. This first safari day provides an excellent introduction to Tanzania’s wildlife before the journey continues toward the Serengeti.
Overnight: Tarangire area or Karatu
Day 3: Tarangire Area – Ngorongoro Highlands – Serengeti National Park
Destination: Serengeti National Park
Activity: Scenic transfer and afternoon wildlife viewing
Accommodation: Serengeti safari lodge or tented camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
After breakfast, you begin the journey toward Serengeti National Park, traveling through the scenic landscapes of northern Tanzania. The route passes through the highlands surrounding the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where the cooler climate, cultivated fields and rolling hills provide a contrast to the dry savannah of Tarangire. Depending on weather and the selected road, you may enjoy views across the surrounding highland landscape.
The drive toward the Serengeti is an important part of the safari experience because it introduces the changing scenery of Tanzania’s northern circuit. As you continue westward, the landscape gradually opens into the broad grasslands and woodland areas associated with the Serengeti ecosystem. The journey can be long, so your guide will organize appropriate stops and explain the route along the way.
Upon entering Serengeti National Park, you begin exploring the wildlife areas while traveling toward your accommodation. The Serengeti is home to lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and many antelope species. Depending on the time of year, you may also encounter large groups of wildebeest and zebras moving through the ecosystem in search of suitable grazing conditions.
In the late afternoon, you arrive at your safari lodge or tented camp. After checking in, you can relax and enjoy dinner while listening to the sounds of the surrounding wilderness. Your guide will discuss the following day’s game drive and the areas that may offer interesting wildlife activity.
Overnight: Serengeti National Park
Day 4: Full-Day Safari in Serengeti National Park
Destination: Serengeti National Park
Activity: Full-day wildlife game drive
Accommodation: Serengeti safari lodge or tented camp
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
Today is dedicated to exploring Serengeti National Park, one of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations. After an early breakfast, you leave your accommodation with your safari guide and begin searching for animals across the park’s grasslands, river systems and woodland areas. The early morning is often an interesting time for wildlife viewing because some predators are still active and the temperatures are generally cooler.
The Serengeti supports a remarkable variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes and large herds of grazing animals. Your guide will use local knowledge and recent wildlife activity to choose suitable game-drive routes. The park’s open plains provide opportunities to observe animal behavior, while rocky kopjes and wooded areas can offer different wildlife encounters.
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the Serengeti’s best-known natural events. The herds move through different parts of the ecosystem throughout the year in response to rainfall and grazing conditions. Depending on your travel dates in 2027, 2028 or 2029, the animals may be concentrated in the southern plains, western corridor or northern Serengeti. The exact movements vary, and no operator can guarantee a particular migration sighting or river crossing.
You may enjoy a picnic lunch in a designated area before continuing your game drive during the afternoon. There will be opportunities to stop for photography, watch animals at a comfortable distance and learn about the park’s ecosystems from your guide. After a full day exploring the Serengeti, you return to your accommodation for dinner and overnight.
Overnight: Serengeti National Park
Day 5: Serengeti Morning Game Drive – Transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Destination: Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Activity: Morning game drive and scenic transfer
Accommodation: Lodge near Ngorongoro Crater or in Karatu
Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner
After breakfast, you begin the day with another game drive in Serengeti National Park. Morning wildlife viewing offers an additional opportunity to explore the surrounding plains and look for animals that may not have been seen during the previous day. Your guide may focus on areas known for predators, grazing herds or other wildlife activity, depending on the season and the location of your accommodation.
Following the morning safari, you begin traveling toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The route takes you through the eastern Serengeti and gradually climbs toward the Ngorongoro highlands. Along the way, you will notice changes in vegetation, elevation and temperature as the open plains give way to higher ground and greener landscapes.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is known for its combination of wildlife conservation, volcanic scenery and the presence of local pastoral communities. It is also home to Ngorongoro Crater, one of Tanzania’s most remarkable natural attractions. Your guide will explain the area’s significance and provide information about the following day’s crater safari.
By late afternoon, you arrive at your accommodation near the crater or in Karatu, depending on the selected package. After checking in, you can relax and enjoy dinner while preparing for an early start the following morning. Staying near Ngorongoro allows you to begin the crater excursion without a lengthy transfer from the Serengeti.
Overnight: Ngorongoro area or Karatu
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive – Return to Arusha
Destination: Ngorongoro Crater and Arusha
Activity: Crater wildlife safari
Accommodation: Hotel or lodge in Arusha
Meals: Breakfast and lunch; dinner according to booking
After an early breakfast, you depart for Ngorongoro Crater, one of the highlights of Tanzania’s northern safari circuit. The crater is part of a vast volcanic caldera surrounded by high walls and supports a rich variety of wildlife within a relatively compact area. The descent into the crater offers impressive views of the surrounding landscape before you reach the grasslands, woodland and wetlands below.
During the game drive, you may encounter buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, hippos and several antelope species. Lions are also present, and the crater is one of the places in northern Tanzania where visitors may have an opportunity to see the endangered black rhinoceros. However, rhinos can be difficult to locate, and sightings depend on the animals’ movements and the conditions on the day.
Your guide will explore suitable areas of the crater while observing the park’s driving rules and time restrictions. A picnic lunch may be enjoyed at a designated site, providing an opportunity to rest before continuing the safari. The varied habitats make Ngorongoro particularly interesting because visitors can encounter different types of wildlife within a single day’s game drive.
After completing the crater excursion, you ascend to the crater rim and begin the return journey to Arusha. The drive passes through the highlands and countryside of northern Tanzania before reaching your hotel in the evening. You can enjoy a comfortable night’s rest before traveling to Zanzibar the following day.
Overnight: Arusha
Day 7: Flight from Arusha to Zanzibar – Transfer to Beach Resort
Destination: Zanzibar Island
Activity: Domestic flight and beach relaxation
Accommodation: Zanzibar beach resort
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
After breakfast, you will be transferred to the airport for your domestic flight to Zanzibar. The flight arrangements will depend on the available schedule and your confirmed booking. Traveling by air allows you to move from northern Tanzania to the Indian Ocean coast without spending a full day on road and ferry transfers.
Upon arrival at Zanzibar Airport, a representative will welcome you and arrange your transfer to the selected beach resort. Depending on the hotel’s location, the journey may pass through local communities, coconut plantations and coastal villages before reaching the beachfront. Zanzibar offers several accommodation areas, including Nungwi, Kendwa, Matemwe, Paje and Jambiani, each with a different atmosphere and beach experience.
After checking in, the remainder of the day is free for relaxation. You may spend time beside the swimming pool, walk along the beach or enjoy the warm Indian Ocean waters. If you have chosen a beachfront resort, you can settle into your room and enjoy the coastal environment after several days of safari travel.
In the evening, enjoy dinner at your resort or another restaurant according to your accommodation arrangements. This marks the beginning of the beach portion of your holiday, giving you time to relax before the optional island activities available during the following days.
Overnight: Zanzibar beach resort
Day 8: Zanzibar Beach Relaxation and Optional Ocean Activities
Destination: Zanzibar Island
Activity: Beach relaxation and optional water activities
Accommodation: Zanzibar beach resort
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
Today is reserved for enjoying Zanzibar at your own pace. After breakfast, you can spend the morning relaxing on the beach, swimming or enjoying the facilities at your resort. Zanzibar is known for its warm tropical climate, palm-lined coastline and clear coastal waters, although swimming conditions vary according to tides, weather and the beach you choose.
Travelers interested in marine activities can arrange optional snorkeling or diving excursions through suitable local operators. Depending on the location and sea conditions, these experiences may provide opportunities to observe coral reefs and colorful tropical fish. Activities should be selected according to your swimming ability, personal preferences and the conditions on the day.
If you prefer a quieter holiday, you can enjoy a leisurely afternoon at your hotel, book a spa treatment or take a walk along the coastline. Couples and honeymooners may choose to arrange a private beach dinner or other special experiences, subject to the resort’s services and availability.
The evening is free for dinner and relaxation. Whether you spend the day exploring the ocean or simply resting beside the beach, Zanzibar provides a pleasant contrast to the early mornings and long game drives of the safari portion of your holiday.
Overnight: Zanzibar beach resort
Day 9: Explore Zanzibar – Stone Town, Spice Farms or Beach Leisure
Destination: Zanzibar Island
Activity: Optional cultural excursion or beach relaxation
Accommodation: Zanzibar beach resort
Meals: According to hotel meal plan
After breakfast, you can choose between another relaxing beach day and an optional excursion to explore more of Zanzibar. Travelers interested in history and culture may visit Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar City, where narrow streets, old buildings, traditional doors and busy markets reflect the island’s long history of trade and cultural exchange.
A guided Stone Town tour can introduce you to some of the area’s important historical buildings and public spaces. Your guide can explain how African, Arab, Indian and European influences shaped Zanzibar’s architecture, food and cultural traditions. Visitors should dress respectfully when exploring local neighborhoods and religious areas, particularly away from the beach resorts.
Another popular option is a spice farm visit, where you can learn about crops traditionally grown on the island, including cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and other spices. Depending on your interests, you may also consider a snorkeling excursion, a visit to Jozani Forest or a sunset boat trip. These activities are optional and can be arranged separately according to your preferences and the time available.
If you would rather enjoy a quiet final day, you can remain at your beach resort and relax beside the Indian Ocean. In the evening, enjoy your last dinner in Zanzibar and prepare for your departure the following day.
Overnight: Zanzibar beach resort
Day 10: Zanzibar Departure – End of Tanzania Safari and Beach Holiday
Destination: Zanzibar International Airport
Activity: Airport transfer and departure
Meals: Breakfast, subject to flight time and hotel arrangements
After breakfast, you can enjoy your final morning in Zanzibar, depending on your international flight schedule. You may have time for a short beach walk, breakfast overlooking the ocean or a relaxing morning at your resort before checking out.
At the agreed time, your driver will collect you from the hotel and transfer you to Zanzibar International Airport for your departure flight. The transfer will be arranged according to your flight details, allowing appropriate time for airport procedures and check-in.
Your ten-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach holiday ends here, following a journey through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and the beaches of Zanzibar. The itinerary combines wildlife viewing, scenic landscapes and coastal relaxation within one holiday.
For travelers who would like to spend additional time in Tanzania, the itinerary can be extended with more Serengeti game drives, additional Zanzibar beach nights or other destinations according to your travel plans.

Best Time for a Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Holiday in 2027, 2028 and 2029
Tanzania can be visited throughout the year, but the best travel period depends on the wildlife experiences and weather conditions you prefer. The dry season, generally from June to October, is popular for safaris because vegetation is often thinner and animals may gather around remaining water sources. These conditions can make wildlife viewing easier in some areas, particularly in Tarangire, although sightings still depend on animal movements and local conditions.
January to March is another interesting period for travelers who want to combine a safari with Zanzibar. During part of this season, the southern Serengeti ecosystem and nearby Ndutu area can attract large concentrations of wildebeest associated with the calving season. The exact location and timing of the herds depend on rainfall, so travelers interested in migration activity should discuss the most suitable safari area before confirming their itinerary.
April and May generally bring heavier rainfall to parts of Tanzania, while November and December may experience shorter seasonal rains. These periods can offer greener landscapes and different photographic opportunities, but road conditions and outdoor activities may be affected by wet weather. Zanzibar also experiences seasonal weather changes, so travelers should consider both safari conditions and beach preferences when choosing their dates.
For departures in 2027, 2028 and 2029, Eddy Tours & Safaris can help you compare travel periods and adjust the itinerary according to your interests.
Can You See the Great Wildebeest Migration on This Safari?
The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the Serengeti ecosystem’s most famous wildlife events, involving large herds of wildebeest and zebras moving in response to seasonal rainfall and grazing conditions. Depending on your travel dates, you may encounter migrating herds during your Serengeti game drives.
However, this standard ten-day itinerary includes two nights in the Serengeti, normally focused on accessible wildlife areas such as the central Serengeti. Travelers whose main goal is to witness the migration may need a different camp location or additional days, particularly when the herds are concentrated in the northern Serengeti or southern Ndutu region.
River crossings are especially unpredictable and cannot be guaranteed. If witnessing the migration is your main reason for visiting Tanzania, ask for a migration-focused itinerary rather than assuming that every Serengeti safari follows the herds.
Accommodation Options for Your Safari and Zanzibar Holiday
Accommodation is an important part of the holiday because it influences comfort, location and the overall package price. During the safari, travelers can choose from budget-friendly lodges, comfortable mid-range tented camps and luxury safari properties. The best option depends on your budget, preferred facilities and the locations available during your travel dates.
Mid-range safari accommodation commonly includes private rooms or tents with proper beds, bathroom facilities and meals. Luxury properties may offer more spacious accommodation, additional services and attractive locations within or near wildlife areas. Some camps provide a closer connection to the natural environment, while larger lodges may offer facilities such as swimming pools and lounge areas.
In Zanzibar, accommodation choices range from smaller beachfront hotels to luxury resorts and private villas. Nungwi and Kendwa are popular for beach holidays, while Matemwe, Paje and Jambiani offer different coastal environments. Beach conditions, tides and available activities vary, so it is worth discussing your preferences before selecting a resort.
All accommodation will be confirmed according to availability and the final quotation for your 2027, 2028 or 2029 holiday.
How Much Does a 10-Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Holiday Cost?
The cost of a ten-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach holiday depends on several factors, including the travel season, number of travelers, accommodation category, park fees, domestic flights and the services included in the package. Private safaris for two travelers generally have a different per-person cost from trips arranged for families or larger groups because transport and guiding expenses are shared differently.
Budget-friendly packages may use simpler lodges and beach hotels, while mid-range options offer additional comfort and facilities. Luxury packages can include premium safari camps, high-end beachfront resorts and personalized services. The final cost also depends on whether you choose additional activities such as a hot-air balloon safari, private dining experiences or organized Zanzibar excursions.
For 2027, 2028 and 2029, prices should be confirmed through a written quotation rather than relying on older advertised rates. Accommodation tariffs, park fees and domestic flight prices may change before your travel dates.
Contact Eddy Tours & Safaris for a personalized quotation based on your preferred dates, number of travelers and accommodation level.
What Is Included in the 10-Day Safari and Zanzibar Package?
A standard private safari and beach holiday can include airport transfers, a private 4×4 safari vehicle, a professional English-speaking safari guide, accommodation during the safari, specified meals, park entrance fees, Ngorongoro Crater fees and drinking water during game drives. The package may also include the domestic flight from Arusha to Zanzibar, transfers on Zanzibar and beach accommodation, depending on the confirmed arrangements.
The exact inclusions should be clearly listed in your quotation before booking. In particular, confirm whether the Zanzibar accommodation includes breakfast only, half-board, full-board or an all-inclusive meal plan. You should also check the baggage allowance for the domestic flight, as smaller aircraft may have stricter luggage restrictions.
International flights, visa fees, travel insurance, personal expenses, tips and optional Zanzibar activities are commonly excluded unless otherwise stated. Additional meals, alcoholic beverages and special experiences may also be charged separately depending on the package.
What to Pack for a Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Holiday
Packing for this holiday requires clothing suitable for both wildlife viewing and tropical beach conditions. During the safari, lightweight and comfortable clothing is generally appropriate, particularly in neutral colors that are practical for dusty game drives. A light jacket or sweater is useful for cooler mornings and evenings, especially around the Ngorongoro highlands.
Other useful safari items include comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, binoculars and a camera with sufficient storage. Travelers interested in wildlife photography may prefer a telephoto lens, although a smartphone or compact camera can still be useful for general travel photographs.
For Zanzibar, pack lightweight beach clothing, swimwear, sandals and suitable sun protection. When visiting Stone Town or local communities, modest clothing is recommended out of respect for local customs. It is also advisable to carry important travel documents, medication and valuables in your hand luggage rather than packing everything in checked bags.
Travel Requirements for Tanzania and Zanzibar in 2027–2029
Before traveling, check the passport and visa requirements that apply to your nationality. Tanzania’s entry rules can vary according to citizenship, travel purpose and other circumstances, so it is important to use official government information rather than relying entirely on older travel articles.
Travelers should also check the insurance requirements applicable to their itinerary, including any mandatory insurance arrangements for visitors to Zanzibar. Requirements and fees may change before 2027, 2028 or 2029, so confirm the latest rules before departure.
You can review current entry guidance through the Tanzania Immigration Department. Travel insurance should also provide appropriate medical and emergency assistance coverage for your planned activities.
