7 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Package 2026–2027
Discover the beauty of East Africa with our 7 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Package, an exciting combination of African wildlife adventures and a relaxing tropical island holiday organized by African Trek & Travel. This carefully planned seven day journey takes you from the incredible wildlife habitats of northern Tanzania to the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of Zanzibar. Enjoy private wildlife game drives, professional local safari guiding, comfortable lodge accommodation and a beautiful beach escape along the Indian Ocean.
Our 7 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Package is designed for travelers who want a memorable wildlife safari followed by several days of coastal relaxation without spending two full weeks on holiday. The recommended itinerary combines Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with four nights in Zanzibar. In Tarangire, discover magnificent baobab trees and look for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and various birds. At Ngorongoro Crater, explore an extraordinary volcanic landscape with opportunities to observe lions, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, hippos and other animals.
Following the mainland safari, continue to Zanzibar using a suitable scheduled domestic flight from Arusha Airport. Upon arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, meet your arranged transfer driver and continue to your selected beach hotel. Depending on your preferences, choose accommodation near Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani or another suitable beach area. Enjoy the Indian Ocean scenery, comfortable accommodation and optional cultural or marine activities while leaving plenty of time to relax.
A major advantage of this 7 Day Tanzania Safari and Zanzibar Beach Package is its practical balance of travel time and holiday experiences. Rather than attempting to squeeze Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Zanzibar into seven days by road, the main itinerary focuses on two nearby and rewarding wildlife destinations. This provides a more comfortable short safari before the island stay. Guests who particularly want Serengeti can request a separate fly in Serengeti and Zanzibar itinerary, with the extra flights and different park selection reflected in the quotation.
African Trek & Travel offers private safari arrangements for couples, honeymooners, families, solo travelers and small groups of friends. Your mainland wildlife experience can include a dedicated four wheel drive safari vehicle and professional local driver guide. Accommodation can range from comfortable mid range lodges to selected luxury properties, while Zanzibar hotels can be chosen according to your preferred beach atmosphere, room category, budget and meal plan.
Our 7 day Tanzania wildlife safari and Zanzibar beach holiday can be customized for travel in the remaining months of 2026 and throughout 2027. Guests can request private airport transfers, suitable lodge rooms, domestic flight arrangements, additional Zanzibar excursions and special honeymoon services. The actual package quotation will show the proposed lodges, Zanzibar hotel, flight sector, national park fees, meals, transfers and complete holiday price.
Whether you are searching for an affordable Tanzania safari and Zanzibar holiday, a seven day honeymoon safari with a romantic beach stay or a comfortable private wildlife and beach package, African Trek & Travel can help organize the journey.
