Safari & Zanzibar Highlights

Why Choose This Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Holiday?

This 8 Days Tanzania Summer Vacation Safari & Zanzibar itinerary is designed for travelers who want to experience two very different sides of Tanzania in one holiday.

The safari section focuses on wildlife and landscapes, while the Zanzibar section provides time to slow down and enjoy the Indian Ocean.

Instead of spending the entire holiday on safari, you have time to relax after your wildlife adventure. This makes the itinerary particularly suitable for honeymooners, couples and families who want a mixture of adventure and relaxation.

The itinerary can also be adjusted depending on your international flight schedule, preferred accommodation category and activities you would like to experience in Zanzibar.
