The first light in northern Tanzania falls over a spindly acacia silhouette and the engine hum of a 4x4 becomes the day’s metronome. You push off from Arusha and the landscape changes from cultivated fields to the wide, grazing plains of Tarangire where elephants gather and the river dares you to come closer. Over nine days you move through Serengeti’s endless grassland, peer into the volcanic bowl of Ngorongoro Crater, then swap dust for the coral sand and coconut palms of Zanzibar.
