10 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday is a carefully designed journey created for travelers who want to experience world-class wildlife viewing in northern Tanzania and then slow down with peaceful beach time on Zanzibar, without rushing either part of the adventure. This itinerary blends iconic national parks, expert-guided game drives, and authentic cultural encounters with soft, relaxing coastal days, giving you a balanced and rewarding holiday that feels complete rather than hurried.
This experience is delivered by a trusted local operator, Eddy Tours & Safaris, and follows responsible tourism principles supported by global conservation and research organisations. Every day is structured to protect wildlife, support communities, and give you enough time in each destination to truly feel the rhythm of Tanzania and Zanzibar instead of simply passing through.
10 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday – Package Overview
This 10-day journey combines three of Tanzania’s most celebrated wildlife areas with a tranquil Indian Ocean beach escape. Your safari days focus on natural ecosystems protected and monitored by institutions such as the World Wide Fund for Nature, the African Wildlife Foundation and the Wildlife Conservation Society, whose long-term research demonstrates how properly managed tourism contributes to habitat protection and wildlife survival.
The beach section takes place on Zanzibar, a fragile coastal ecosystem where marine and shoreline conservation efforts supported by the United Nations Environment Programme and global climate monitoring by NASA Climate play an important role in protecting coral reefs, fisheries and coastal livelihoods.
This package is ideal for couples, families, small groups and honeymoon travelers who want comfort, privacy and personal service while still traveling responsibly.
10 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday – Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 – Arrival in Tanzania and private transfer to Arusha
Upon arrival at Kilimanjaro International Airport, you are warmly welcomed by your professional driver-guide and transferred to your lodge in Arusha. Your briefing covers wildlife etiquette, safety standards, and conservation responsibilities aligned with guidance from the International Union for Conservation of Nature and biodiversity governance frameworks promoted by IPBES.
Day 2 – Tarangire National Park game drive
You travel to Tarangire National Park, a landscape well known for elephant migration corridors studied by the Conservation International field programmes and long-term wildlife movement research. Your full-day game drive focuses on elephants, giraffes, big cats and large herds of plains game while your guide explains ecological relationships and seasonal changes.
Day 3 – Lake Manyara ecosystem and cultural landscapes
Your journey continues toward Lake Manyara, a protected area whose biodiversity and bird populations are documented by BirdLife International. The park offers forest, groundwater-fed wetlands and open plains, creating excellent photographic opportunities and gentle introduction to Tanzania’s varied habitats.
Day 4 – Ngorongoro Conservation Area and crater safari
You descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique volcanic ecosystem studied extensively by geological researchers including the United States Geological Survey. Wildlife density inside the crater supports important predator research projects coordinated through global conservation partners such as the Panthera big cat programme.
Day 5 – Serengeti National Park central plains
Travel to the legendary Serengeti, where ecosystem dynamics and migration patterns are continuously studied by scientific organisations such as the National Geographic Society. Your afternoon and sunset game drives focus on predator activity, grazing behaviour and river crossings when conditions allow.
Day 6 – Full day Serengeti wildlife experience
A full day is dedicated to in-depth wildlife observation across different habitats. Ecological data collected through ScienceDirect and Nature Research publications supports guide interpretation on predator–prey balance, fire ecology and grassland regeneration.
Day 7 – Flight to Zanzibar and beach transfer
You fly from the Serengeti region to Zanzibar, where your private transfer takes you to your beach resort. Coastal management and coral reef protection principles promoted by the Food and Agriculture Organization support sustainable fishing and shoreline protection that directly benefits local communities.
Day 8 – Zanzibar beach relaxation and marine awareness
This day is free for relaxation, swimming or optional marine activities. Marine ecosystem research and coastal resilience studies coordinated by the IUCN Eastern and Southern Africa Programme help guide responsible tourism practices along the island’s sensitive reef systems.
