10-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar itinerary
The most requested shape of Tanzania trip, and the one where sequencing matters most. Safari first, coast second — the plains ask a lot of you, and the island gives it back.
Ten days is the shortest version of this we plan without it feeling clipped.

Route overview
Day by day
Days 1–2
Arrival & Tarangire
Soft landing, then elephant country.
Days 3–4
Ngorongoro
Rim night and a full crater day.
Days 5–6
Serengeti
Positioned for the season's movement.
Day 7
Flight to Zanzibar
Bush flight, met on arrival, no waiting.
Day 8
Stone Town
Heritage walk, Forodhani in the evening.
Days 9–10
Coast
Nothing scheduled unless you want it.
Accommodation style
Camps inland; a coastal property chosen for the stretch of shore rather than the brand name.
Transport & internal flights
Private 4x4 on safari, internal flight to Zanzibar, private transfers on the island.
Best time to travel
June to October is the strongest combined window. January to March works well for both halves. April and May bring the long rains to the coast.
Optional cinematic coverage
This journey films well across both halves — dust and light inland, water and architecture on the island.
