Tour Plan
Itinerary
We will start the tour toward Karavasta National Park . The park is bordered by Shkumbin river in the north, by the Divjaka hills in the east, by the Seman river in the south and by the Adriatic sea in the western part of it, Divjaka – Karavasta national park is characterized by its forest with typical flowers which grow in the country, Mediterranean pines and dense bushes. The most important feature of it is the existence of many natural habitats and the biodiversity of flora and fauna. These habitats serve as shelters for many waterfowls which are very rare in Albania. The lagoon of Karavasta shelters the Dalmatian Pelican, which in this area represents about 5 percent of the total number of this specie in world scale.

Only a 20-minute drive from Fier are the Ardenica hills, famous for the Monastery of the Nativity of the Theotokos and many breathtaking landscapes. A pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis had existed where the Monastery sits now, which explains the origin of the name Ardenica. The most interesting historical event recorded in Ardenica is Skanderbeg’s wedding to his lifelong wife Donika, hosted on April of 1451 at the Chapel of St. Trinity Church, the monastery’s very first church, built in the 10th century.

From the moment we set foot in Arusha, we knew we were in for an adventure our family would never forget. The wildlife encounters surpassed our hopes—seeing elephants and lions up close was surreal, and our guide’s knowledge truly enriched the experience. Each night, we fell asleep in cozy lodges, listening to the sounds of the African night, which was a magical touch.
Transitioning to Zanzibar for some beach relaxation was the cherry on top, though we felt the itinerary could have included an extra day to fully soak in the sun and the stunning ocean views. The local cuisine was a delightful surprise, and we loved trying all the different dishes. Overall, we left with incredible memories and a deeper appreciation for Tanzania’s beauty and wildlife, but a bit more time on the beach would have made it perfect.

Our group of friends just returned from an unforgettable journey through Tanzania, where we marveled at the incredible wildlife and relaxed on the stunning beaches of Zanzibar. The safari portion highlighted diverse landscapes, from the vast Serengeti to the lush Ngorongoro Crater, where we encountered majestic elephants and playful lion cubs. Each day brought new adventures, and we particularly appreciated our accommodations in Arusha; it felt like a cozy home base between excursions, complete with friendly staff who genuinely cared about our experience.
While the wildlife encounters were breathtaking, the time spent on Zanzibar was a perfect contrast—we loved lounging on the pristine beaches and exploring the vibrant local culture. However, our only minor hiccup was the occasional transport delays between locations, which sometimes ate into our itinerary. Despite this, the warmth of the locals and the sheer beauty of Tanzania made every moment worthwhile. Overall, this trip was a fantastic blend of adventure and relaxation, solidifying our bonds as friends and creating memories we’ll cherish forever.

Our family was completely captivated by the stunning wildlife encounters and the breathtaking beaches that made this getaway unforgettable. While the safari accommodations were comfortable and welcoming, we did wish for a bit more variety in the dining options during our stay.
