8-Day Serengeti Safaris & Zanzibar Extension is one of our most popular tours as it allows you to spend a very reasonable amount of time in the Serengeti (2 nights) and still have the chance of exploring Ngorongoro and Manyara or Tarangire National Parks.
You can either do the tour by land (circle itinerary) or fly back from the Serengeti to remove the backtracking, plus the Serengeti safaris you shall relax and stay 3 days in Zanzibar Island, enjoying the beaches.
Pickup from your hotel at 8am and start a beautiful journey across the Great Rift Valley for a full day game drive.
Although small in dimension (205 sq. miles), the park has breathtaking scenery and well famous for its lush acacia forest, giant figs and mahogany trees, as well as to a growing population of baboons and blue monkeys.
Permanent residents of this park also include giraffes, elephants, impalas and a huge amount of buffaloes. The lake is also home to a large number of hippos.
The landscapes of Lake Manyara are something that can not be described with words, and the game drives along the lake provide stunning photo opportunities of giraffes and buffaloes in the foreground and the lake in the background.
Some possible extra tours are possible, including a bike tour or a boat excursion. Afternoon return to the camp for dinner.
Possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
