The Grand Expedition

9-DAY SAFARI

Day-to-Day Itinerary

Each day within the Grand Expedition Safari has been carefully curated to make the most of every hour on your trip!

One Hour Airport Transfer From Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha City

As soon as you land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, your Victorious Vacation professional safari guide will be there to take you to your accommodation in Arusha. Arusha City, nestled between Kilimanjaro and Meru, is the jumping-off point for a safari into the African bush and the gateway to Tanzania's Northern Circuit of national parks.

Head out to see the sights and sounds of Arusha's local culture.

There are popular coffee tours for those interested in learning more about the cultivation, harvesting, drying, and roasting of coffee beans to create a wide variety of blends that are exported and enjoyed around the world. This activity is available for an additional fee and is suitable for those who are serious coffee drinkers.

Meals included: Dinner

Start your safari off well when your guide picks you up from Arusha and whisks you away to Tarangire National Park. Tarangire National Park is in the Manyara Region of Tanzania.

The Tarangire River provides most of the park's fresh water, making wildlife sightings more likely as the animals congregate near the river. Warm, sunny days are perfect for viewing Tanzania's diverse wildlife, such as a herd of 300 elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, elands, and buffalo.

In time for dinner, your guides will bring you back to your hotel in Tarangire after an exciting day of exploring the wilderness.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

The most beautiful African drive to Tarangire

Descend to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater

Enjoy the sunrise before setting off on a day tour to see the unique wildlife within the crater's safety zone. The Big Five assembled here, and the crater walls make a beautiful backdrop.

After a day of sightseeing, you can relax with a few sundowners while gazing out at one of the world's most enchanting locations, and then enjoy a delicious meal while gazing at the same breath-taking panorama.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Immerse yourself in the Central Serengeti

Take a full-day game drive through the Serengeti to see as much as possible. It is your best opportunity to see the Big Five in their natural habitat on the broad plains, and it will put you at the centre of some of the finest natural spectacles on the planet.

Spend the entire two days exploring the vast plains of Serengeti National Park while enjoying fantastic local meals. Your guide will return you to your lodge within the national park after at the end of each day exploring the wilderness.

Gather 'round the fire and tell tales of your wildlife adventures throughout the day.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

On your last day of the Serengeti, awake early to catch the excitement of the chase, as predators hunt for their meal of the day before the heat sets in.

Catch your last glimpse of the Serengeti before your guide takes you to the Seronera Airstrip to board your flight to the relaxing beaches of Zanzibar.

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Fly out from Seronera Airstrip (Serengeti) to Zanzibar

Relaxing on Zanzibar's pristine beach

You can spend your days lounging by the pool at your hotel or venturing out to discover the old area of Stonetown, where you can get lost in the maze of narrow alleyways and centuries of history.

Due to its status as one of the few locations globally where saffron is harvested, Zanzibar is commonly referred to as Spice Island. The island is also home to a wealth of cultural traditions. Be sure to take a tour of one of the local spice farms here to learn about this highly sought-after spice that is worth more than its weight in gold and to try some of the delectable exotic fruit that is cultivated here.

During your visit to this area, we strongly advise that you go on a dolphin tour, during which you will set sail at the end of the day to see pods of dolphins leap over the water and swim beside your boat.

Meals Included: Breakfast and Dinner

Return to Zanzibar International Airport for your flight home

Following a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, our driver will take you to Zanzibar International Airport, where we will bid you farewell.

Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch
