Description
Boasting many incredible and diverse landscapes, there are few better ways to see Tanzania than by going on a Serengeti safari and visiting Zanzibar!
Spending 8-days exploring these incredible landscapes is the best way to experience the country. Along the way, you will visit the eighth wonder of the natural world, see some of Africa's most iconic wildlife and relax on some of the world's best beaches.
The adventure begins with a visit to Lake Manyara National Park, where we will get the chance to see giraffes, elephants, impalas, buffaloes, blue monkeys and baboons with the incredible backdrop of the lake.
From here, we head to Serengeti National Park, where we will explore the expansive grassland (serengeti means 'endless plains' in the native language) and get the chance to see even more wildlife.
The world's most famous national park is home to the great migration of wildebeests as well as zebras, antelopes, lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas.
From here, we will continue on to the eight wonder of the natural world: Ngorongoro Crater. Sprawling over 264 square kilometers (102 sq miles) and boasting walls that are 600 meters high (2,000 feet), the crater is truly immense.
Inside there are plains, lakes and forests that are home to just about every animal native to East Africa, including the rare black rhino and the world's largest elephants.
After exploring the crater thoroughly, we will depart the mainland and head to Zanzibar. Here, we will have two days to relax, with the option to take some short tours of the island (not included) or enjoy the immaculate white sand beaches and turquoise blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
