The Ultimate Tanzania Escape: 11-Day Luxury Fly-In Safari & Zanzibar

Fly into the heart of the Serengeti, experience Tanzania’s legendary wildlife in exceptional luxury, and finish your journey on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar.

Welcome to an extraordinary 11-day luxury Tanzania safari and Zanzibar escape with Shiri Adventures, designed for travelers who want to experience the very best of Tanzania while enjoying exceptional accommodations, private game viewing, and seamless travel.

Your journey begins in Arusha, where you’ll be welcomed by the Shiri Adventures team and spend your first night at the elegant Gran Meliá Arusha, surrounded by beautiful gardens with views toward Mount Meru.

The following morning, trade the road for the sky as you fly directly into Serengeti National Park. Landing in the heart of one of Africa’s greatest wildlife destinations means more time experiencing the Serengeti and less time traveling. Your stay at the iconic Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti combines unforgettable game drives with world-class comfort in the middle of the wilderness.

From the Serengeti, continue to the spectacular Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where you’ll descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater in search of lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and an extraordinary concentration of wildlife.

Your journey then continues toward Tarangire National Park, famous for its impressive elephant herds, ancient baobab trees, and beautiful landscapes, complemented by a luxurious stay at Manyara’s Secret.

After an unforgettable safari, leave the African wilderness behind and continue to Zanzibar, where Meliá Zanzibar welcomes you for the final chapter of your journey. Slow down, relax beside the Indian Ocean, and enjoy beautiful beaches and island luxury after days of adventure.

With Shiri Adventures, this is more than a luxury safari. It is a seamless journey through Tanzania’s most iconic experiences, combining the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Zanzibar with carefully selected luxury stays and personalized private service.

Day 2 & 3

Serengeti National Park

Discover just why so many safari visitors fall in love with the Serengeti. Keep an eye out for big cats, even bigger elephants, and almost every kind of safari wildlife you can imagine. You might also see giraffe, impala, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, hundreds of species of birds, and that may all just be before breakfast. You’ll never forget watching these animals interact, whether you see a hunt, a vast herd or a mother protecting her cub or calf. The Serengeti’s scenery is also unforgettable – observe Africa’s iconic acacia trees, the park’s golden grasslands and great piles of boulders known as kopjes.

Central Serengeti National Park

Exploring the Central Serengeti means experiencing acacia trees silhouetted against a backdrop of endless savannah. The wildlife viewing here is excellent and big cats are always a possibility.

Evening Game Drive, Serengeti National Park

Going on an evening game drive is one of the highlights of any safari. This is when temperatures cool, the light becomes softer and the wildlife begins to get active. Not only will you be out when the light is best for taking photos, but it's also one of the best times of day for seeing the animals.

Activities Day 2

Morning

You'll fly into Seronera Airstrip this morning.

Morning till Afternoon

You never quite know what you'll see on your guided game drive in the Central Serengeti as your guide takes you through some of Tanzania's best wildlife country.
