7 Day Tanzania & Zanzibar Itinerary
Tanzania and Zanzibar 7 Day Safari blends game drives with beach time. You start in Arusha, then explore Tarangire’s elephants and giant baobabs. Next, head to the Ngorongoro Crater, a hotspot for Big Five sightings.
After safari, enjoy cultural moments in Stone Town, Zanzibar. The final days are for pure beach relaxation.
I’ve guided travelers on this route and always recommend it for first-time visitors. It offers just the right balance of wildlife, history, and coastal charm.
This trip works well for couples, families, and solo adventurers looking for variety in one smooth itinerary.
