Even in as little as a week, you can experience Tanzania's most famous highlights: safari adventures and tropical beaches. Start with the wildlife as you embark on game drives across the savannas of Serengeti National Park to spot lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and more. Then spend a few days relaxing in Zanzibar, an oasis of white-sand beaches and coral atolls nestled amid a sea of sapphire and crystalline waters.
This 10-day adventure combines the best safari locations in Tanzania with beach time in gorgeous Zanzibar. However, before relaxing on those white sands, you'll test yourself on a day hike up Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa. In between, you'll embark on unforgettable safaris in the Ngorongoro Crater and legendary Serengeti.
Get ready for a safari adventure in Africa that covers not one incredible country but two. It begins in Kenya with visits to elephant and giraffe sanctuaries, plus a camping trip with tribal warriors. After viewing wildebeests and gazelles at the Masai Mara Reserve, you'll hop the border into Tanzania for a safari on the famous Serengeti to see lions, leopards, and more. The trip culminates with a drive over the volcanic crater at Ngorongoro to witness black rhinos in the wild.
You can't beat this itinerary for a trip that combines African cultural immersion with safari fun. It starts with some beach time in Zanzibar before hitting the road on off-the-beaten-path routes between cities in Tanzania. After relaxing at Lake Victoria, you'll cross over to Kenya for game drives in the famous Maasai Mara Reserve, plus spend time in tribal villages and participate in Maasai warrior ceremonies.
Experience one of the true gems of the Indian Ocean with a visit to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar. Over seven days, you'll enjoy this island's famed white-sand beaches plus discover its rich culture and cuisine on tours of its historic center. Finish the trip on the unspoiled island of Pemba for some snorkeling, fishing, and communing with nature far from the stress of the modern world.
Adventurous travelers who love the idea of climbing an African mountain but who don't want an extremely challenging experience will enjoy this four-day climb of Mt. Meru. Most days will include a few hours of hiking, while on the long summit day, you'll start in the middle of the night and be rewarded by sweeping views over the plains toward Mt. Kilimanjaro. Spot wildlife, trek through different vegetation zones, and afterward, relax at the beautiful and historic Rivertrees Country Inn.

Three weeks in East Africa gives you time to hop between numerous national parks and conservation areas in two to three countries. Kenya and Tanzania are the most popular options, and for good reason, considering they're home to the Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar, and Serengeti and Tarangire National Parks. If you're eager to spot chimpanzees and gorillas in the wild, swap in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks, or consider Rwanda for immersive cultural experiences.
Discover up to seven destinations on a two-week safari trip to Tanzania. An adventure itinerary splits time between safari hotspots and Zanzibar beaches, while a highlights itinerary focuses on Tanzania's national parks like the Serengeti and Tarangire. Get off the beaten path in southern Tanzania with waterfall hikes and Isimila's Stone Age Site. For a wildlife and culture-focused trip, add Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, and for mountain gorilla trekking, add Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.
Two weeks gives you time to visit two countries in East Africa. Each offers wildlife, outdoor adventures, and cultural activities, but travelers keen on gorilla trekking should head to Rwanda or Uganda. Culture enthusiasts can visit a Maasai village, join a handicraft workshop in Arusha, and learn about street art in Kigali. Foodies will savor a coffee tasting near Nairobi and a cooking lesson in Stone Town. Those interested in coastal exploration and a leisurely pace will enjoy sailing and snorkeling in Zanzibar.
