9 Days Tanzania Safari & Zanzibar Beach Experience
Safari Meets Beach
Nine Days Across Tanzania's Wildlife Parks & Zanzibar's Shores
This itinerary moves through two completely different worlds without losing its pace — five days deep in Tanzania's northern safari circuit across Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro region, then a domestic flight to Zanzibar for Stone Town, a dolphin tour and white sandy beaches. One of East Africa's most complete travel experiences.
