DAY 4 to DAY 6: SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

In this day you will proceed with your remarkable Safari to the Serengeti national park. The Park is widely famous due to endless plains and a large extent of wildlife. Also The Park is divided into 3 sections.

The popular southern/central part (Seronera Valley) is what the Maasai called the “Serengit”, which means the land of endless plains. During your Game drive in the Park you will encounter a wide variety of wildlife ranging from Carnivores such as Lions, Cheetahs, Hyenas and Leopards.

Also you will see a wide variety of Herbivores including the Buffaloes, Antelopes, giraffes and most importantly you will be amazed by the great Wildebeest migration where over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November, and then swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back.

"However If you would like to experience wildlife from another point of view, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to fly above the plains and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the wildlife".

DAY 7 to DAY 8: ZANZIBAR

After 8 long days in the Wild you will chill out and enjoy the beach life on the tropical Zanzibar Island. Zanzibar’s coastline offers some of the best beaches in the world, but sand and surf vary depending on what side of the island you’re on.

On the east coast, waves break over coral reefs and sand bars offshore, and low tide reveals small pools of starfish, small minnows, and anemones. Up north, ocean swimming is much less susceptible to the tides, and smooth beaches and white sand make for dazzling days in the sun.

Visit the port city of Stone Town dominates the west coast, and although the beaches of Mangapwani, where slave caves are visible at low tide and nearby Bububu are less than half an hour’s drive away, a night or two spent on the east or north cost is well worth the extra hour it takes to drive there.

Discover the rich history of the Chole Island Marine Park just off Stone Town – and nearby Prison, Grave, and Snake Islands – make a refreshing day-trip and a good break from exploring the winding passageways of the old city.

On the south coast of Zanzibar lies the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a sea turtle protection area for the endangered species that come to breed on the island. Roads to the southeast coast take visitors through the Jozani Forest, home to Zanzibar’s rare Red Colobus monkeys and a number of other primate and small antelope species.
