Arusha – Ngorongoro Crater – Serengeti – Zanzibar
Dates:
June 6th – 14th, 2026 – Girls Trip
February 13th – 21st, 2027 – Co-Ed Trip
We’re headed back to Tanzania, and this time everyone can come! Be prepared to be whisked away in a private safari 4×4 vehicle where everyone has a window seat. When we’re in the park you can even stand up and look out the pop up roof at all the wildlife! Then after several days of wildlife spotting, you’ll board a plane and head over to the beautiful island of Zanzibar to have a nice relaxing island vacation too! Serengeti is one of the best parks in the world for safari due to its open planes that stretch for miles. With multiple days of safari we will hopefully catch all the big 5 and hopefully even the infamous cheetahs.
Full payment is due 60 days prior to the trip start & payment plans are set up so you can pay along the way!
Note: Rooms will be triple occupancy for the best price for a once in a life time safari trip – you can add an optional double occupancy or single occupancy room can be added for an additional fee!
Co-Ed Note: Since our trips are primarily female – if you’re coming with a significant other, or only 1 friend / family member of the opposite sex, please be sure to upgrade to a double occupancy room.
Today you will arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport any time after 6am, where you will be welcomed to Tanzania and grab a ride straight to the hotel.
We haven't planned anything for this day, giving you the chance to get whatever flight you can and head to the hotel for a dip in the pool, and a quick nap to prepare you for the week ahead.
Tonight we will come together to have a big family dinner, and raise a glass to a fabulous week together! We are heading off super early tomorrow, so make sure you grab plenty of rest today so you're ready to go!

After breakfast, you will head into the Ngorongoro crater, down a steep and narrow forested road, before entering a luscious green land filled with the best animals you can imagine. As you travel through the land, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the nature and life surrounding you.
If you're lucky, you might spot one or more of the "Big Five" - lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos or leopards! But, the crater is filled with stunning warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas and so much more, so you should be able to spot something that can't be spotted elsewhere!
This time of year is also BABY season - be prepared to witness tiny elephants and mini zebras all over the park!
We will also visit the Masai community, get to know everything about them and get to interact with this very elusive group.
