Why You’ll Love This Trip!
This journey gives you three very different moods in just over a week: classic Zanzibar beach time, deep wilderness safari and a peaceful, adults only island retreat. It is ideal if you want the drama of big game viewing without sacrificing days of sea and sand, and if you like the idea of ending somewhere small and secluded where you can slow down completely before flying home. The routing and inclusions keep things simple, so you can focus on enjoying the beaches, the wildlife and the quiet in between.
