With nine days or more, you can explore both the northern and southern circuits of Tanzania, something shorter itineraries rarely allow. Most guests on shorter trips must choose between the northern or southern parks, but nine days gives you the flexibility to experience the best of both regions.
Typically, travelers divide their time between the two circuits—spending around six days in the northern parks like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, or Lake Manyara, and three days in a prime southern park such as Ruaha or Selous, often connected by a short domestic flight.
Nine days also allows for a balanced combination of safari and beach, giving you ample time to enjoy the wilderness and unwind by the turquoise waters of Zanzibar or other coastal destinations.
