Your adventure begins the moment you touch down at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where you will be met and assisted by a representative before a smooth transfer to Arusha. Settle into The Arusha Hotel on a bed and breakfast basis, leaving the afternoon entirely at leisure to unpack, rest, or stroll through the town at your own pace. The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, you will board the Safari Express train to kick off your journey through Tanzania.
Upon arrival at the station, a vehicle will be waiting to transfer you directly to Vuma Hills Tented Camp, tucked away in Mikumi National Park. After checking in, you will set out for an exciting evening game drive in a custom four-by-four vehicle alongside a professional guide, returning to camp for a warm dinner and a restful night.
The next two full days are dedicated to exploring the rich ecosystems of Mikumi National Park. Each day is perfectly balanced with morning and afternoon game drives, maximizing your chances of spotting massive herds of buffalo, elephants, and lions across the open floodplains. All delicious meals and comfortable overnights are provided at Vuma Hills Tented Camp, allowing you to relax and soak in the wilderness between safaris.
A change of scenery awaits on the fifth day, beginning with a rewarding early morning game drive and breakfast before you board a light aircraft for a scenic flight to Ruaha National Park. Upon landing in this untamed southern wilderness, you will transfer to Ruaha River Lodge just in time for lunch, followed by an afternoon game drive along the riverbanks to witness the park’s vibrant wildlife. You will then dive deeper into Ruaha over the next two full days, enjoying daily morning and afternoon game drives through its dramatic landscapes of baobabs and rocky hills, with all meals and cozy overnights hosted at the riverfront lodge.
The final chapter of your journey transitions to the tropical coast as you fly to Zanzibar and transfer directly to the secluded paradise of Lazy Lagoon Island. The afternoon is yours to spend completely at leisure, walking along the white sand or dipping your toes into the warm waters of the Zanzibar Channel. Five full days follow in this private island haven, giving you total freedom to relax on the beach or choose from various optional water and island activities at your own pace. Throughout your coastal retreat, all meals and accommodations are beautifully taken care of at Lazy Lagoon. Your unforgettable Tanzanian getaway comes to a close on the fourteenth day, where you will enjoy breakfast before catching a flight back to Dar es Salaam to connect with your international departure home.
