What you'll do

Sometimes you can’t beat a classic, and this route is exactly that. Whether you’ve seen hundreds of lion in your lifetime or this is your first visit to Africa, Tanzania’s northern parks tick many of the memorable safari boxes – and the stop in Zanzibar is the sunshine-hued cherry on top.

After taking in the sights at Lake Manyara, start your journey with a bang at Bougainvillea Safari Lodge in the Ngorongoro Crater, which brings memory-card filling sightings of the Big Five.

And then it’s off to Kati Kati Camp in the Serengeti, for big cats and the enthralling Great Migration (in season). You probably couldn’t squeeze in any more bucket list experiences, even if you tried.

Is there a better way to end such a trip than with a few days of snorkelling, beach walks and chilling out at Zanzibar's Shooting Star Lodge?
