Overview
For travellers short on time who still want both sides of Tanzania: the Serengeti's plains and Zanzibar's beaches, without committing to a full ten-day trip. A tight, efficient itinerary that still gives two full days of game driving before switching entirely to beach mode.
Trip Highlights
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1Arrive Serengeti
Fly into the Serengeti, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive in the Seronera area, known for reliable year-round sightings of lion, leopard, and resident herds.
Day 2Full Day, Serengeti
A full day of game driving across the Seronera Valley, with morning and afternoon drives split by lunch back at camp. The Seronera is the Serengeti's year-round engine: leopard in the fig trees, lion prides on the kopjes, and cheetah on the open grass.
Day 3Fly to Zanzibar
A final morning game drive, then a flight to Zanzibar, arriving at your beach resort by early afternoon with the rest of the day free. From the savannah to the Indian Ocean in a single morning.
Day 4Full Day, Zanzibar
A full day at leisure on the beach or in the water: snorkelling or diving the reef, a sunset dhow cruise, or simply the beach and the pool. Zanzibar's east coast is calm and reef-protected year-round.
Day 5Depart Zanzibar
Free time in the morning, then transfer to Zanzibar International Airport for onward or international connections. End of Saringi Tours services.

Good to Know
- Use soft bags for safari flights. We confirm baggage limits, airstrip stops and onward connections; airfare coverage is listed in your quote.
- Serengeti herds move with rainfall. Camp location matters more than a fixed migration calendar; ask about the area for your travel month.
- Marine outings depend on sea and weather conditions. Optional beach activities cost extra unless listed; check your insurance covers the activities you choose.
- Arrange the applicable government inbound insurance through NIC for your mainland-and-Zanzibar arrival. One valid policy covers this insured journey; do not buy a second for the island transfer. Check eligibility and exemptions in the insurance guide below; personal travel insurance is separate.
