Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater
View of the Ngorongoro Crater Lake,This morning, you’ll do one last explorative tour of the Serengeti before beginning the drive to the astonishing Ngorongoro Crater.Formed from the collapse of a volcano, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is also one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa—it boasts being the largest intact inactive caldera in the entire planet. With its unique environment, the Ngorongoro Crater is teeming with diversity, housing around 30,000 wild animals. If you’ve dreamed about seeing the endangered black rhino or the rare black-maned lion, this is considered the best place in the country to do so. However, don’t bother looking for giraffes, as they cannot make it into the crater (although they do like to roam the conservation area around it).
As if that wasn’t enough, the Ngorongoro Crater is also important to the history of humanity: it contains the oldest known evidence of homo sapiens, fueling the theory that we all come from Africa.
You’ll enjoy the sunset from the rim of the crater, taking in the wonderful view of the caldera before retiring to your accommodation within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Days 7-12: Free Days in Zanzibar

The white beaches of Zanzibar
For the next week, you’ll be free to explore the astonishing Zanzibar archipelago.
This semi-autonomous region is one of Tanzania’s greatest treasures, and is know for its impossibly soft-sand beaches and clear waters (as well as for being Freddy Mercury’s birthplace). You’ll get to decide how to best spend your days in this exciting destination. If a week seems like too long, rest assured, there are plenty of things to do for all kinds of travelers:
Beach Days:
One of Zanzibar’s main attractions are its gorgeous beaches. Considered one of the best in the west African coast, you can spend some days (or the entire week) simply lounging around the beach and working on your tan. Head to Nungwi if you’re also looking to party, to Bwejuu for calm and relaxation, and to Michamvi for some isolation.
Nature Encounters:
The main activities for encountering nature are, of course, snorkeling and diving. Matemwe is the best place to engage in either activity, as it provides access to the Mnemba Atoll and the coral reefs that surround it. You can also spend a day at Jozani Forest, home to the endemic red colobus monkey. For even more nature, explore the Kuumbi Caves in Jambiani.
History & Culture:
Besides beaches and nature, Zanzibar boasts an extremely rich history. Its capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is home to some of the archipelago’s most important buildings and monuments, such as the Arab Fort. Spend time walking around the town, admiring its Arabic architecture and Indian influences. You can also visit the solemn Former Slave Market, and learn about this tragic part of the island’s history.
