You'll enjoy both morning and afternoon game drives to witness the wildlife in one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. Don't forget your camera. Mornings are the best time to see the animals as they are most active. During these early hours, you'll likely see grazing giraffes and zebras—and perhaps even lions as they hunt wildebeest and gazelles. Other animals you're likely to spot include elephants and buffalo, with leopards and rhinos being a less common sight. You can choose to have lunch on the road or back at camp, after which you'll continue the game drive into the afternoon. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

In the morning after breakfast, you'll catch a flight from the Serengeti's Seronera Airstrip to Zanzibar.20 miles off the coast of Tanzania lies a cluster of islands, a holiday paradise that many have heard of but only a few had the chance to visit. This archipelago is regarded as one of East Africa's most beautiful island destinations. The time has come to find out why Zanzibar has remained the prime destination for those interested in experiencing a unique and diverse culture amidst a gorgeous natural Zanzibar landscape. Upon arrival at the airport, a personal driver will be waiting to transfer you to your beach hotel. After unpacking, feel free to kick back on the sand amid the tall palms and enjoy the fantastic views of the Indian Ocean.

Depending on the hotel you select, you may have all modern conveniences and creature comforts at your disposal, such as a private butler/chef, rooftop deck, and plunge pool overlooking the stunning coastline. If that's the case, you may want to spend the day at your villa and later enjoy a romantic evening. However, if you feel like venturing out, there's plenty to do. Take a stroll down the beach, go snorkeling, or participate in one of the many activities available on the island. If you're traveling with that special someone, you can enjoy a romantic lunch on your own private sandbank. Like in the Serengeti, there's no need to rush because you'll have multiple days to explore every corner of the island.

There are many optional activities to keep you busy in Zanzibar. Of course, the main attractions are its inviting beaches. You can spend this day relaxing on one of these prized stretches of sand.
Or, if you're feeling social, there's no shortage of beach clubs and party vibes in the coastal village of Nungwi. If calm and relaxation are your goals, head to Michamvi Kae for some isolation.
Maybe you'd prefer a snorkeling or diving tour. Matemwe, on the northeast coast, is the best place for either activity, as it provides access to the coral reefs around the Mnemba Atoll. Or spend a day at Jozani Forest, home to exotic animals like the red colobus monkey. Explore the Kuumbi Caves in Jambiani on the southeast coast for more nature. There are options besides swimming and hiking, like surfing, kayaking in mangrove forests, or cycling around the island.
You could also head out to sea for a sport-fishing adventure to reel in some marlin and sailfish.

You'll want to spend time in the main town, too. Besides beaches and nature, Zanzibar boasts a rich history. The medieval center of the capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This warren of alleyways, shops, bazaars, and mosques is home to some of Zanzibar's most historic buildings. One standout is the Arab Fort, a defensive fortification built in the 17th century. A great activity is to stroll Stone Town and admire its unique mix of Arabic architecture and Indian influences. You can also visit the solemn site of a former slave market and learn about this sad part of the island's history.

Unfortunately, it's time to leave the tropical paradise. You'll transfer to Zanzibar's airport in the morning and fly to Arusha, where you'll catch your connecting flight home.
