About this safari
Experience the thrill of an authentic African safari without leaving your Zanzibar holiday behind. This carefully designed 2-Day Safari from Zanzibar combines seamless domestic flights with two of Tanzania's most celebrated wildlife destinations, allowing you to experience incredible game viewing in just two unforgettable days.
Begin your adventure with a morning flight from Zanzibar to Arusha, where your private safari guide will welcome you before travelling to Tarangire National Park. Famous for its giant baobab trees, vast elephant herds and beautiful savannah landscapes, Tarangire offers an exceptional introduction to Tanzania's wildlife and provides excellent opportunities to spot lions, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and a remarkable variety of birdlife.
Spend the night at a carefully selected safari lodge before continuing to the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five. Descend onto the crater floor for an unforgettable game drive through this extraordinary natural wonder, home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including the endangered black rhino, elephants, lions, hippos and thousands of grazing animals.
Throughout your journey, you'll enjoy the comfort of a private 4×4 safari vehicle, an experienced professional guide and handpicked accommodation, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience from beginning to end. After your crater safari, return to Arusha Airport for your scheduled flight back to Zanzibar, where you can continue your beach holiday with unforgettable safari memories.

Frequently asked questions
- 01
What does a private Tanzania safari cost?
It depends mainly on the season, the number of days and the lodges you choose. Our private northern-circuit itineraries start from about US$3,100 per person for five days in Classic comfort, and rise with Mid-Luxury and Luxury camps. Park and conservation fees are set by the government and make up a significant share of every safari, and they are included in our prices. Every itinerary page shows a starting price per person, and we quote exactly for your dates.
- 02
Is every Emnel safari private?
Yes. You have your own vehicle and your own guide for the whole safari, and the daily pace, start times and stops are set around you, never around a group.
- 03
Who will our guide be?
One of Emnel's own guides. The team that plans your safari is the team that runs it. About two weeks before you arrive, we send your trip companion, with your guide's details and everything else you need for the journey.
- 04
When is the best time to go on safari in Tanzania?
Tanzania offers excellent game viewing all year. June to October is the classic dry season, with easy game viewing and the migration in the north. January to March brings the calving season in the southern Serengeti. The long rains of April and May are quieter and greener, and some camps close. We will recommend the best timing and route for what you most want to see.
- 05
How does booking work?
Tell us your dates and ideas, and we will design an itinerary and send a detailed proposal. To confirm, we ask for a 30% deposit plus any domestic flights, which are issued on confirmation. You then receive your official confirmation, and about two weeks before you travel, your trip companion with every final detail.
- 06
Can we add Zanzibar to our safari?
Yes. A short flight from the Serengeti or Arusha takes you to Zanzibar's beaches. We recommend at least one night in Stone Town alongside your beach stay.
