Tour Overview
Tanzania offers two completely different versions of paradise. This holiday gives you both.
Four days of thrilling wildlife safari come first. Four days of barefoot luxury on the Indian Ocean follow. Together, they create a combination that sounds almost too good to be true , yet Tanzania delivers it with complete ease.
The safari takes you through three of Northern Tanzania’s greatest parks. Tarangire brings elephants and baobabs. The Serengeti brings Africa’s most famous wildlife spectacle. The Ngorongoro Crater brings the Big Five inside a natural enclosure unlike anything else on earth. You spend enough time in each park to feel genuinely immersed, rather than simply passing through.
Then a short flight carries you to Zanzibar. White sand beaches and warm turquoise water provide the perfect counterpoint to the dust and drama of the bush. Moreover, Zanzibar rewards those who look beyond the beach , Stone Town’s UNESCO-listed Swahili architecture, spice farms scented with cloves and cinnamon, and world-class snorkelling at Mnemba Atoll all add remarkable depth to the island experience.
