On your fifth day, head to Ngorongoro Crater. Continue with game drives here as well and visit the local village to explore their culture. On day Six, travel to Kilimanjaro. On day Seven take a feel of hiking Mt Kilimanjaro by going upto their base camp. On Seventh day travel to Zanzibar Islands and stay there for three days. In these islands you can enjoy their local delicacies, explore Stonetown, watch beautiful sunset from one of the highest buildings of the city while enjoying your sundowner meal. Next day go to Nungwi beach where you will finally dip into ocean, enjoy Dhow cruise there and end your day by enjoying island’s nightlife. End your vacation by snorkelling in clearest waters of Mnemba Islands.
We have added budget and luxurious stays to the itinerary. The tourism season in Tanzania is separated into two seasons: the high season and the low season. The dry season months of May to October are the high season, and most tourists visit Tanzania during this period since it is considered the best time to go on safari in Tanzania.

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?

The full 10-day itinerary, day by day: timings, real places with map links, stays, and food. You can read it in your browser or download the PDF, both the minute you pay. It also sits in your account, so you can open it again from any device, and the GST invoice is emailed with it.

Is there any support after I buy?

Yes, and it is free. If something in the plan does not suit you — a stay outside your budget, a different transport option, restaurants for a dietary need, or combining this with another itinerary — tell us and one of us will sort it out with you on WhatsApp. Message +91 98733 95006 or write to hello@diytinerary.com. We reply on weekdays.

These are not my dates. Can I still use it?

Yes. The itinerary is written by day, not by date, so it works whenever you go — the seasonal notes tell you what changes. If you would rather have it built around your actual dates, group and budget, use Adapt this itinerary for my dates above: that is a new itinerary written for you, and it costs less than one written from scratch.

Can I change the stops?

Not on this one — we have no other Tanzania itinerary close enough to lift a stop from. If you want a different route, ask for a custom itinerary and we will plan it around the stops you name.

Is it refundable?

A ready-made itinerary is a file you receive immediately, so it is not refundable as a matter of course. A refund can be requested within 24 hours of a first purchase, and we look at genuine problems case by case — if the document will not open or is not what the page described, tell us and we will fix it or refund it. The full terms are on our refund and cancellation page.

Is GST included?

Yes. The price you see is the final amount, with 18% GST already inside it. Nothing is added at the payment screen, and the invoice carries your state as the place of supply. If you are buying for a company, add the GSTIN on the form and the invoice comes with it so you can claim the input credit.
