This is the “everything” trip. A private driver-guide takes you from Arusha to Tarangire, famous for its elephant herds and giant baobabs, then over the Ngorongoro highlands into the endless plains of the Central Serengeti for two nights among lions, leopards and cheetahs. You finish the safari with a morning inside the Ngorongoro Crater — the best place in Tanzania to spot black rhino — before a short flight to Zanzibar. Five nights at Meliá Zanzibar in Kiwengwa give you time to swim, snorkel and slow down, with an optional Stone Town or spice tour. Every night is in a hand-picked luxury lodge or high-end camp, the vehicle is yours alone, and the whole trip can start on any date.
Land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, where your driver-guide meets you and takes you to Arusha (about an hour). The rest of the day is yours to rest.
