| Trip Length | Route Idea | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 4–6 Days | Arusha + Tarangire + Ngorongoro + (short Serengeti) | Quick Northern Circuit safari |
| 7–10 Days | Tarangire + Serengeti + Ngorongoro | Classic Tanzania safari |
| 10–14 Days | Northern Circuit safari + Zanzibar | Best first-time mix |
| 14+ Days | Kilimanjaro trek + safari + Zanzibar | Full Tanzania experience |
Tanzania works year-round, but safari conditions and the Zanzibar vibe can feel different depending on rainfall and heat.
For a solid safari, 7–10 days is ideal. If you add Zanzibar, plan 10–14 days. If you add Kilimanjaro, many travelers do 14+ days total.
Tarangire → Serengeti → Ngorongoro, then fly to Zanzibar for beach days.
Most travelers do safari first, then finish with Zanzibar to relax.
