Ultimate Tanzania Adventure
Ultimate Tanzania Adventure is a 13-day private journey designed for travelers who want to see, do, and feel everything Tanzania has to offer in a single trip. The itinerary opens with a day trek on Mount Kilimanjaro's lush lower slopes, moves into a full Northern Circuit safari through Tarangire, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, then closes with three days on Zanzibar's beaches. It's the ultimate Tanzanian odyssey.
Your guide handles the logistics across every terrain. Filly and Yusuph know the rainforest trails on Kilimanjaro's slopes, the elephant corridors in Tarangire, and the predator territories in the Serengeti. At Lake Eyasi, you walk with ancient Hadzabe hunter-gatherers and learn survival skills from one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes in Africa. In Zanzibar, the pace drops completely.
This is for travelers who have 13 days and want to use every one of them. Safari, mountain, culture, and coast. Like visiting five countries in one trip, except it's all Tanzania.
Pricing Note
Prices start from $9,800 per person and vary based on group size, accommodation tier, and travel dates. We'll give you an exact figure once we know your specifics. No hidden fees — the number in your proposal is the number you pay.
