Wilderness to Waves

12 DAYS

FROM 4,300 USD

OVERVIEW

Wilderness to Waves 12 by Sheventures Safari is an efficient loop for travelers who want a deep safari experience followed by an island escape. It spends more nights in fewer parks so guests get familiar with animal territories and rhythms before unwinding on Zanzibar. Ideal for travelers who prefer fewer transfers and longer wildlife immersion.

Arrive at Kilimanjaro International Airport and transfer to your hotel in Arusha. Meet your Sheventures Safari guide for a welcome briefing and dinner while getting ready for your adventure. Overnight in Arusha.

After breakfast, drive to Lake Manyara National Park, known for its scenic beauty, birdlife, and tree-climbing lions. Enjoy a morning game drive and picnic lunch by the lake. Later, ascend to the Ngorongoro Highlands, with sweeping views of the Great Rift Valley. Dinner and overnight at your lodge overlooking the highlands.

Descend into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater — a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife. Spend a full day on game drives spotting elephants, black rhinos, lions, and hippos. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the crater floor before ascending to your lodge in the evening. Dinner and overnight in Ngorongoro.

Depart for the legendary Serengeti National Park, entering via Naabi Hill Gate or by air (optional). On arrival, enjoy an afternoon game drive en route to your lodge or camp, where the vast plains stretch endlessly before you. Overnight in the Serengeti.

Spend a full day exploring central or western Serengeti (depending on the season). Witness herds of wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, and predators roaming freely. Picnic lunch in the wild followed by more game viewing. Dinner and overnight in the Serengeti.

Another exciting day in the Serengeti with early morning and afternoon drives. Track big cats in action, enjoy sundowners as the sun sets over the plains, and soak in the raw beauty of Africa’s wilderness. Overnight in the Serengeti.

Dedicate this day to follow the great migration herds or focus on predator-rich areas. Your guide will tailor the drives based on wildlife movement and your interests. Dinner and overnight at your Serengeti camp or lodge.

Enjoy a final morning game drive before your transfer or flight to Arusha and onward connection to Zanzibar. Arrive in the evening and transfer to your beachfront hotel. Relax by the Indian Ocean and unwind after your safari. Overnight in Zanzibar.

Take the day to rest and rejuvenate on the island’s pristine beaches. Swim, sunbathe, or enjoy optional water sports at your leisure. Overnight in Zanzibar.

Discover Zanzibar’s cultural heart — Stone Town — with a guided walking tour through its historic streets and spice markets. Visit a local spice farm to learn about the island’s fragrant crops and traditional uses. Overnight in Zanzibar.

Embark on a full-day snorkeling excursion to explore vibrant coral reefs or opt for kite surfing and other water activities at Paje Beach. Spend your last evening soaking in the tranquil island vibe. Overnight in Zanzibar.
