Tanzania: let us journey from the Savannah to Zanzibar to discover the vast wild areas of East Africa, inhabited by the so-called Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhinoceros) and numerous other wild animals! This is the perfect tour for you if you wish to immerse yourself in nature and get lost in the vastness of the Serengeti. A complete tour to discover the peoples, habits and customs of this land!
Our trip to Tanzania begins in Arusha , where we immediately immerse ourselves in the natural landscapes of this central African country. We will visit the Arusha National Park and embark on a walking safari, in the hope of seeing the cute monkeys that live in these parts. Then we start with the actual safari at Tarangire National Park , which is home to more than 500 species of birds, and pay a visit to Lake Manyara , where lions like to climb trees. We then move on to Ngorongoro , where, with a bit of luck, we will be able to spot black rhinos, wildebeests and zebras, and to the plains of the Serengeti National Park - here our hunt begins for the famous big five, but not only them: wildebeests, zebras, pink flamingos and more!. A quick stop in Karatu , where we come into contact with the native Bushmen, and then we will fly to Zanzibar. For the final part of our journey, we enjoy the Kendwa beach and the Indian Ocean - between snorkelling, relaxation and postcard sunsets, this is for sure to be a memorable time. Tanzania offers emotions that are difficult to sweep away, and we will return home in love with this land.

Itinerary
Welcome to Tanzania!
Check in: Our journey starts from Arusha!
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly. This is to give you maximum freedom of choice!
Check-in at the hotel in Arusha and meet the rest of your group! We will have the evening to recover from the long flight - let's grab a drink by the pool and some food together to toast to the beginning of our safari adventure!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast
Not included : transfer from the airport, meals and drinks
Arusha National Park
Monkey paradise
Let the adventure begin! After meeting our guide, we will head towards Arusha National Park . Here we will dedicate ourselves to our first day of safari: this park is famous for its blue monkeys and is the only park in the area where it is possible to see the beautiful Colobus monkeys! Here it is also possible to carry out a Walking Safari, a beautiful walk in the middle of the park in close contact with the animals, obviously escorted by the park rangers. What better way to start our adventure than by walking in nature?
Included: overnight stay with breakfast, jeep with driver and entrance to Arusha National Park, walking safari tour
Not included : transfer from the airport, meals and drinks
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire National Park
We set off north and reach Tarangire National Park , famous for its wildlife, which are at their most spectacular between June and September, in the dry period. During this time thousands of animals, wildebeests, buffaloes and antelopes migrate towards the river in search of water. Lions, leopards and other predators follow the herds, obviously hunting their daily meal, and therefore following that famous circle of life. Tarangire is also home to over 500 varieties of birds, so we'll have our work cut out for us today with binoculars and spotting scopes. Will we already be able to see the famous lions?
In the evening we then move to Karatu, where we will spend the night.
Included: overnight stay with full board, jeep with driver, entrance to Tarangire National Park
Not included: drinks
Lake Manyara
Journey to Lake Manyara
After breakfast we start heading to Lake Manyara National Park , where we will spend the day on a safari trying to spot many wild animals! Lake Manyara National Park is known for its tree-climbing lions (cool right?!) and the park covers 390sqkm and is a sanctuary of over 400 species of birds which include pink flamingos, pelicans, storks, Ibis and Egyptian geese. There is also a huge herd of buffalo and elephant - will we be lucky enough to see it? Fingers crossed!
We will also have the opportunity to visit a unique local village where representatives of more than 120 different tribes live together in peace: Mto wa Mbu . We get on our bicycles and enter the streets characterised by the scents and colours of local craftsmanship, from paintings to wooden objects, and pay a visit to the local market.
Included: overnight stay with full board, jeep with driver, entrance to Lake Manyara National Park, bike excursion to Mto wa Mbu village
Not included: drinks
Ngorongoro National Park
Safari to the Ngorongoro Crater
New day, new safari! Today we descend with the jeeps into the crater and we will spend the whole day on safari. One of the largest craters in the world at 20 km wide, Ngorongoro is also one of the best wildlife viewing areas where you can even see black rhinos, if you're lucky! The crater is 2,286 m above sea level, surrounded by very steep walls and covers 260 square km. Over 30,000 animals live here, and almost half of them are zebras and wildebeests: it is no coincidence that Ngorongoro is listed as a world heritage site!
Included: overnight stay with full board, jeep with driver, entrance to Ngorongoro National Park
Not included: drinks
The Serengeti Plains
The endless plains
We wake up early and set off in our jeeps - in a couple of hours we will arrive at the Serengeti National Park which is undoubtedly the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world with wildebeests, antelopes and gazelles that pass through during migration. This is arguably going to be one of the best days of the tour and hopefully we will see some incredible animals up close!
Included: full board overnight stay, jeep rental with driver, entrance to the Serengeti National Park
Not included: drinks
Serengeti National Park: Lobo Valley
Lobo Valley
At dawn we wake up and set off again to arrive at Lobo in the remote northern Serengeti. The Lobo Valley is one of the natural routes for the annual wildebeest migration and this area has one of the highest concentrations of lions in Africa , which we will admire from the safety of our jeep. Don't forget your camera!
This is our last day in this spectacular park. We cross it all from north to south to look for the animals that we weren't able to see the previous days: we have to see them all by the end of the journey! In the evening we return to our accommodation in Karatu.
Included: overnight stay with full board, car rental with driver, entrance to the Serengeti National Park
Not included: drinks
Karatu: Local Culture
Immersion in local culture
Today we will pay a visit to the natives, that is, the Bushmen, locally known as Hadzabe or Tindiga. The Hadzapi people live on Lake Eyasi and are an original hunter-gatherer population of East Africa. Then there are the Taturu, sometimes known as Mang'ati, who still live according to their traditional customs.
In the afternoon we move to Arusha to catch our flight which will take us directly to the paradisiacal beaches of Zanzibar! It is time to relax!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast and dinner, jeep rental with driver and domestic flight Arusha - Zanzibar

Money pot: any entrance fees, activities and excursions

Zanzibar: Snorkelling on Kendwa beach
Into the sea!
Today we have the day free and at our disposal so let's decide together how best to use our time here in Zanzibar. Shall we just relax on Kendwa beach? Maybe we will then embark on an exciting boat tour among the crystal clear waters and white beaches. There is also plenty of opportunity here for snorkelling enthusiasts!
Included: overnight stay with breakfast and dinner
Money pot: any entrance fees, activities and excursions
Not included: other meals and drinks
Zanzibar
Relax and crystal clear water!
It's our last full day together in Tanzania and it's up to us to decide whether to venture into one of the many bays and islands of this African island or to stay and relax on the beach.
After seeing the endless African savannah, the immense herds of animals, the dawn among the acacias, the local tribes, the beaches and the crystal clear water, it is time to say goodbye to Tanzania, but not before having toasted this adventure together with cocktails at sunset.
Included: overnight stay with breakfast and dinner, cocktail at sunset

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to meet all needs:
1. Credit or debit card from Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
2. Installment payments for certain countries only
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you can pay the balance from your MyWeRoad Personal Area via bank transfer.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.

WeRoad is not authorised to provide this information due to privacy reasons.
However, there is a solution - you can connect with your travel buddies by joining our Facebook group. Look for a post related to your trip, or ask the group admins for help in connecting with your future travel companions!
If a Travel Coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you're interested in, you can easily find their introduction post in the group via the website: in the tour list, click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip details page, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator's name] for information on this trip in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!

Trip details page
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curios to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can contact us by WhatsApp at +447716573700
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
