SAFARI TRIP TANZANIA& ZANZIBAR

11 DAYS SAFARI TRIP TANZANIA ZANZIBAR

Experience the rhythm of the wild and the serenity of the Indian Ocean with Maridadi Travel’s signature 11-day Tanzania and Zanzibar journey. This adventure brings you face-to-face with the Big Five in iconic safari parks, followed by a retreat to Zanzibar’s sun-kissed shores.

From the golden plains of Serengeti to the ancient baobabs of Tarangire, and from Ngorongoro’s breathtaking crater to the cultural heartbeat of Stone Town—this itinerary offers the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. Karibu Tanzania, in true Maridadi style.

When is the best time to visit Tanzania?

The best time to visit Tanzania depends on what you want to experience. Generally, the dry seasons — June to October and December to February — are ideal for safaris and beach holidays. During these months, wildlife is easier to spot around waterholes, and the weather is pleasant for game drives and trekking. However, the green season (March to May) offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and lower prices — perfect for photographers and budget-conscious travelers.

What can I expect from a safari in Tanzania with Maridadi Travel?

A safari with Tanzania Specialist offers a personalized, luxury experience with expert local guides, high-quality 4×4 safari vehicles, and carefully selected accommodations. You’ll explore iconic parks like the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, witnessing breathtaking wildlife including lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, and more. Every trip is tailored to your needs — from private safaris to family-friendly adventures and honeymoon escapes.

How can I personalize my Tanzania trip with your services? ?

We specialize in tailor-made travel. You can customize your trip based on:

Your budget and travel dates
Preferred national parks and activities (e.g., hot air balloon safaris, walking safaris)
Accommodation type (budget, mid-range, luxury, or boutique lodges)
Special interests (photography, culture, birdwatching, wellness, etc.)

Our travel experts work closely with you to create a unique itinerary that matches your travel style.

Can I see the Big Five in Tanzania?

Yes, Tanzania is one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The Ngorongoro Crater is especially known for offering a high chance to see all five in one day. The Serengeti and Tarangire also provide excellent opportunities for spotting large herds of elephants, prides of lions, and elusive leopards.

Is it safe to travel to Tanzania?

Tanzania is considered one of the safest and most welcoming countries in East Africa for tourists. The people are friendly, and the main tourist areas are well-developed and secure. However, like any destination, we advise taking standard travel precautions: avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas, keep your valuables secure, and follow your guide’s advice. We also recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance before your trip.
