Safari in Tanzania and beach life on Zanzibar

Discover Tanzania's wilderness on safari and finish with lazy days on Zanzibar's beaches. A journey with both adventure and relaxation.

From The Wild Rhythm Of The Savannah To The Calm Waves Of The Sea

Experience Tanzania's diversity through a journey that combines safari on the mainland with relaxation on Zanzibar. The island is part of Tanzania but offers a completely different atmosphere, where pristine white beaches and turquoise waters meet the historical culture of Stone Town. Together, it creates a journey that unites the drama of the savannah with the tranquility of the sea.

This 10-day journey takes you from Arusha, the gateway to some of Africa's most famous national parks, to Nungwi on the northern tip of Zanzibar. Four nights among savannahs, volcanoes, and craters are followed by six nights on the beaches of the Indian Ocean – a journey filled with variety and contrasts.

Arusha – The Gateway To Safari

The journey begins in Arusha, a city located at the foot of Mount Meru. From here, you can reach some of the continent's most iconic natural areas: the endless plains of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater with its unique concentration of wildlife, and the vast landscapes of Tarangire with elephant herds and baobab trees.

In Arusha, you can combine safari tours with hikes in the green highlands or soak in the city's lively atmosphere at markets, restaurants, and art galleries. Here you are met by a city that is both the starting point for great adventures and a place with its own charm.

How To Get Here:
You fly to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO). Transfer by car to Arusha takes about 1 hour.

Nungwi – Beaches By The Indian Ocean

After the days on the mainland, the next part of the journey awaits. You fly from Arusha to Zanzibar, a journey of about 1.5 hours.

How To Proceed:
From the airport in Stone Town to Nungwi takes about 2 hours by car. Along the way, you pass small villages, lush plantations, and coastal landscapes that provide a first glimpse into the island's everyday life.

In Nungwi, you spend six nights by the sea. The beaches here are known for their fine white sand and clear, turquoise waters that invite swimming, snorkeling, and diving. Along the coast lie traditional dhow boats, and in the evenings, travelers and locals gather to watch the sun set over the horizon.

If you want to discover more of the island, there are plenty of opportunities: join a spice tour, stroll through the narrow alleys of Stone Town, or take a boat trip to the coral reefs off the coast.

A Journey With Variety

From the wilderness of the safari in northern Tanzania to the coastline of Zanzibar, this journey offers both nature experiences and time for relaxation. You get to experience different environments and cultures in a smooth way – from encounters with Africa's wildlife to days by the sea.
