Few places pair wildlife and beach as perfectly as Tanzania and Zanzibar. Follow the Great Migration across the Serengeti, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater to see lion, elephant and black rhino, then fly to Zanzibar for white sand, turquoise water and the spice-scented alleys of Stone Town. It is the classic safari-and-beach holiday, and it still takes some beating.
We have been creating tailor-made holidays since 2007, and our specialists know Tanzania well beyond the northern circuit: the wild south of Ruaha and Selous, chimpanzee trekking in the Mahale Mountains and the quiet islands of the Mafia Archipelago. Timing is everything on safari, so we match camps to the season and the movement of the herds, and choose the right stretch of Zanzibar’s coast for the time of year. Every itinerary is built around your pace and interests.
The journeys below are starting points, not fixed tours. Each can be adjusted, extended or combined with Kenya, Rwanda’s mountain gorillas or a stopover in Oman.
