The coming days are devoted to a full diving program with dives on the island's best reefs. In our free time we relax on the beach, swim in the ocean and soak up the atmosphere of a tropical island.
The program includes 10 dives in total — Zanzibar's reefs suit both experienced divers and those just starting out.
Sunshine Marine or similar
Early in the morning we fly from Zanzibar to Arusha and set off for Tarangire National Park — one of the best places in Tanzania to watch elephants, giraffes, zebras and other savanna dwellers. During the safari we enjoy a picnic lunch out in nature. In the evening we move to a cosy lodge in the Karatu area.

After an early breakfast we head to the famous Ngorongoro Crater — a unique nature reserve often called one of the best safari destinations in Africa. Here we have the chance to see the Big Five and many other animals in their natural habitat.
After a picnic lunch we return to Arusha airport, fly to Zanzibar and continue home — arriving in Moscow on 11 January.

Useful Information
map[text:When we go. Early January is the warm season in Tanzania. In Zanzibar it's +30…+32 °C and the ocean warms to +28 °C — perfect for the beach and diving. On the mainland, around Tarangire and Ngorongoro, it's cooler thanks to the altitude, and the bush is green and scenic.
Visa. Tanzania requires a visa (around $50), most conveniently arranged online in advance or on arrival.
Currency. It's handy to carry cash US dollars; the Tanzanian shilling is also in use. Cards are accepted in hotels and larger establishments.
Time. UTC+3 — the same as Moscow, so no adjustment needed.
Health. Tanzania is a region where malaria prophylaxis is recommended. Consult your doctor in advance. title:About the region]
