Safari + Zanzibar
From the Wild Heart of Tanzania to the Shores of Zanzibar
Imagine starting your journey surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness, watching lions move through the Serengeti, elephants gather beneath ancient baobabs, and the landscapes of Tanzania unfold before you.
Then, after your safari adventure, trade the savanna for white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, tropical sunsets and the rich Swahili culture of Zanzibar.
A Safari + Zanzibar holiday combines two unforgettable sides of Tanzania into one seamless journey: an exciting wildlife safari followed by a relaxing Indian Ocean escape.

Why combine a Tanzania safari with Zanzibar?
A safari gives you adventure. Zanzibar gives you relaxation. Together, they create a well-rounded Tanzania holiday that lets you experience wildlife, landscapes, culture, beaches and the Indian Ocean without choosing between them.
Your journey can begin in northern Tanzania, exploring some of Africa's most famous wildlife destinations, before continuing to Zanzibar for several days of relaxation and ocean experiences. You can tailor the combination around your travel style, whether you're planning a honeymoon, family holiday, romantic escape, photography trip or luxury adventure.
Your journey can include:
Wildlife, culture, beaches and ocean, in one journey.
Zanzibar: end your journey by the ocean
After days of wildlife adventures, Zanzibar offers a completely different experience. Slow mornings. Warm ocean water. Palm-lined beaches. Fresh seafood. Swahili culture. Beautiful sunsets. Whether you want complete relaxation or a few days filled with activities, you can finish your Tanzania holiday at your own pace.
