Big Five & Beach Bliss: A 11-Day Lusungulwamtwa Safaris Experience

As you step out of Kilimanjaro International Airport, your dedicated Lusungulwamtwa Safaris guide welcomes you with a warm smile and the words Karibu Tanzania – welcome to Tanzania! From here, you’ll be transferred to your lodge in Arusha, where you can unwind and soak in the African atmosphere. Rest well, because tomorrow your private safari adventure begins with your own 4x4 vehicle and guide.

After breakfast, your journey begins with a drive to Tarangire National Park, a land famous for its ancient baobab trees and large elephant herds. During the dry season, the Tarangire River attracts diverse wildlife, including lions, giraffes, buffalo, and countless bird species. It’s not uncommon to see up to 250 elephants gathered here, creating a breathtaking spectacle!

The legendary Serengeti awaits you with two full days of exploration. Known as Africa’s ultimate safari destination, the park is home to the Great Migration and an extraordinary abundance of wildlife. With over 4,000 lions, 1,000 leopards, 225 cheetahs, and thousands of hyenas, predators rule these endless plains. Your Lusungulwamtwa Safaris guide will track the best wildlife sightings for unforgettable game drives.

After an early breakfast, set out with packed lunch boxes for a full-day game drive across the endless plains of the Serengeti. This allows you to cover vast areas and increase your chances of witnessing incredible wildlife encounters. Your guide will take you to the best viewing spots depending on the season — from following the Great Migration herds to tracking predators on the hunt. Midday, stop for a picnic lunch under the shade of an acacia tree, surrounded by the sounds of the bush. In the afternoon, continue exploring before returning to camp as the golden sun sets over the savannah. It’s an unforgettable safari day filled with adventure and discovery.

Today you descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural wonder. Formed millions of years ago, it now shelters the densest concentration of wildlife in Africa. From black rhinos to lions, zebras, and buffalo, the crater floor is alive with action. Surrounded by dramatic scenery, this is truly one of the best game-viewing spots on earth.

After your safari adventure, it’s time for relaxation! Today you board your flight to the magical island of Zanzibar. Upon arrival, our representative will take you to your beach resort. Spend the afternoon enjoying the white sand beaches, turquoise waters, or perhaps take a short excursion into Stone Town for your first taste of island culture.

Your tropical island escape begins! Spend these days soaking up the sun on palm-fringed beaches or snorkeling over vibrant coral reefs. For culture and history, wander through the spice plantations or the maze-like alleys of Stone Town. For adventure, try the famous Safari Blue Cruise or diving trips into the Indian Ocean. Whether you want relaxation or exploration, Zanzibar delivers it all.

Today is dedicated to the beauty of Zanzibar’s coastline. Spend the morning sunbathing on pristine beaches or swimming in warm, clear waters. If you’re feeling active, try kayaking, paddle boarding, or snorkeling right from the beach. You can also enjoy fresh coconuts and seafood served seaside — the simple pleasures of paradise at your doorstep.

Your island adventure continues with a full-day ocean excursion. Set sail on the famous Safari Blue Cruise, explore hidden lagoons, snorkel in coral gardens, and watch for dolphins playing in the surf. A freshly prepared seafood barbecue awaits you on a sandbank surrounded by the sea. This is the ultimate Zanzibar experience for sea lovers.

On your last full day, enjoy a slow morning by the beach, swim in the pool, or pamper yourself with a massage overlooking the ocean. In the evening, take a romantic sunset dhow cruise, watching the sky turn golden and crimson as traditional taarab music plays in the background. It’s the perfect farewell to the Spice Island.
