Bush and Beach
Finish the plains and the crater on the Indian Ocean. It's the most natural way to end a Tanzania trip — and the easiest to get wrong if the order and the flights aren't planned properly.
Safari days start before dawn and cover a lot of ground. Zanzibar afterwards gives your trip a proper ending rather than a rushed departure straight from the bush.
We hold the internal flights, transfers and hotel timings together so the handover from bush to beach is a single arrangement instead of three bookings you have to reconcile yourself.
On the Island
Narrow streets, carved doors, spice markets and a food scene worth an evening on its own.
Snorkelling and diving on the reefs, plus dhow sailing at sunset from the north and east coasts.
A short inland drive explains why the island shaped centuries of trade.
Home to the endemic red colobus monkey and an easy half-day from the coast.
Sandbank and reef excursions for clear water and long, slow afternoons.
Frankly the point. After early game drives, several days of doing very little is the best part.

Almost always safari first, beach second. Early game drives are demanding and the coast is the natural place to slow down afterwards.
Short scheduled flights connect Arusha, Kilimanjaro and the Serengeti airstrips with Zanzibar. We build the connection into your itinerary so you are not managing transfers yourself.
Three to five nights suits most travellers: enough to rest, see Stone Town and spend real time in the water without the trip feeling stretched.
The north-east and east coasts are best for beach time and water sports, the north for swimming at all tides, and Stone Town for history and food. We match the coast to what you want from those days.
Both, though the right hotel differs a great deal. Tell us who is travelling and we'll suggest accommodation that fits rather than a one-size-fits-all resort.
