After your thrilling safari adventure, you’ll fly to the idyllic island of Zanzibar to enjoy a few days of relaxation by the Indian Ocean with Wildhorn Africa.
A Wildhorn Africa representative will be waiting to welcome you at Kilimanjaro Airport before transferring you to your lodge in Arusha for an overnight stay. In the afternoon, you’ll have the chance to explore the vibrant city center. Arusha is a captivating mix of modern life and traditional culture, where sleek office buildings, luxury hotels, and stylish coffee shops stand alongside bustling markets filled with fresh produce, fish, and meat.
As you wander through the city, you’ll encounter women dressed in bright, colorful fabrics, balancing large baskets on their heads or selling enormous avocados and roasting corn by the roadside. You may also spot Maasai men proudly wearing their distinctive shukas as they move through the streets, adding to the city’s rich cultural charm.
After breakfast, your Wildhorn Africa guide will meet you and drive you to Tarangire National Park, a journey of about three to four hours.
Tarangire is a seasonal park, with the long dry spell from June to October offering the most rewarding game viewing. During this time, the wildlife gathers in impressive numbers around the rivers and waterholes, creating unforgettable safari experiences. You’ll encounter large herds of elephants, along with abundant zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, eland, impala, and warthog searching for water. Predators such as lions and spotted hyenas follow closely, while leopards roam the park’s terrain and cheetahs are typically spotted in the open southern plains.
The park is equally famous for its majestic baobab trees and remarkable birdlife, adding to the diversity and beauty of the landscapes you’ll explore.
After breakfast, your Wildhorn Africa guide will transfer you to Lake Manyara National Park, set at the base of the dramatic Manyara Escarpment along the Great Rift Valley.
The park’s alkaline lake, spanning about 230 square kilometers, is a haven for birdlife, drawing flocks of pink flamingos and countless other species. At the lake’s edge, pods of hippos can often be seen resting in the waters.
Lake Manyara is also famous for its unique tree-climbing lions, while leopards and hyenas may also make an appearance. The park teems with wildlife, from elephant herds and wildebeest to buffalo, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and impalas. Its dense forests and open plains are also home to a thriving primate population, including vervet monkeys, baboons, and other species.
As the day draws to a close, you’ll leave Lake Manyara just before sunset and continue on to Karatu, where dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge await.
The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural wonder of the world and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its dramatic 600m (1968ft) high crater walls encircling the vast floor, it stands as one of the most spectacular safari destinations on the planet, delivering unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Exploring the crater is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here you’ll witness an incredible density of animals, from buffalo, warthogs, wildebeest, zebras, hippos, and elephants to a thriving population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and leopards. One of the highlights is the chance to see the rare black rhino, a species that is seldom spotted in other regions of Tanzania.

After breakfast, you’ll depart from Ngorongoro and journey to the legendary Serengeti, Tanzania’s most celebrated national park, where you will spend the next two nights with Wildhorn Africa.
The Serengeti is renowned for its exceptional wildlife viewing and is home to one of nature’s greatest spectacles – the Great Migration. Each year, more than 2.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by vast numbers of zebras, move from the Serengeti into Kenya’s Masai Mara in search of greener pastures.
If you visit during this incredible migration, you’ll witness endless herds of wildebeest and zebra carpeting the plains as far as the eye can see.

The park is teeming with wildlife, giving you the chance to spot zebras, impalas, Grant’s gazelles, wildebeest, buffalo, rhinos, and elephants.

Whether you’re drawn to the charm of a rustic beach lodge or the indulgence of a luxurious five-star resort, we’ll ensure you enjoy the perfect stay that complements your island experience.

For those who prefer to stay active, the island offers a wealth of excursions such as exploring the historic alleys of Stone Town, visiting Jozani Forest, discovering Prison Island, touring spice plantations, or immersing yourself in the cultural life of local villages.
Zanzibar is also a haven for adventure seekers, with opportunities for mountain biking, hiking, birdwatching, windsurfing, kitesurfing, sea kayaking, and sailing. Its rich marine world makes it ideal for snorkeling and diving among dazzling reefs, where encounters with dolphins, green turtles, and even whale sharks (seasonally) create unforgettable memories.
Sadly, your unforgettable Northern Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar journey with Wildhorn Africa comes to a close. After enjoying breakfast at your accommodation, you’ll be transferred to Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) for your onward international flight home.

Kibale is a remarkable place where the rainforest meets the savannah, offering an incredible mix of flora and fauna that makes the park one of Uganda’s most unique and rewarding wildlife destinations
After an early breakfast, Wildhorn Africa will take you on a long but incredibly rewarding drive, filled with breathtaking landscapes, diverse scenery, and endless opportunities for photography. The journey itself is an experience, and your guide will be there to share insights and stories along the way—so feel free to keep asking questions as you soak it all in. You’ll pause for a relaxed lunch before continuing on to Murchison Falls National Park, where you’ll visit the iconic Top of the Falls to witness the Nile’s powerful plunge through a narrow gorge. The day concludes with dinner and an overnight stay inside the park.
Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda’s largest protected area, is home to the world’s most powerful waterfall—Murchison Falls. With Wildhorn Africa, your day begins with an early morning game drive, bringing you up close to giraffes, elephants, buffaloes, and, with some luck, predators such as lions, leopards, or hyenas. Afterward, you’ll return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, enjoy some relaxation, and have an early lunch.
In the afternoon, you’ll set out on a magical boat cruise along the Victoria Nile, traveling to the base of the falls. Here, you’ll witness the awe-inspiring sight of the Nile forcing its way through a narrow gorge before crashing down with immense power—a moment that perfectly captures the wonder of nature and creation.
After an early morning breakfast, Wildhorn Africa will transfer you to Entebbe International Airport for your return flight home. Along the way, you’ll have the option to stop at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a one-hour rhino tracking experience, adding a final touch of adventure to your safari. You’ll also enjoy lunch en route before continuing to the airport for your late evening departure.
The best time to visit is generally considered to be during the dry season, when weather conditions are more pleasant and travel is less likely to be disrupted, typically based on your preferred destinations. During this period, landscapes are at their most vibrant, wildlife sightings are more frequent, and activities can be enjoyed with greater ease. While visits are possible year-round, choosing this window is often recommended to ensure the most rewarding and comfortable experience.
