Tour Overview

Experience Tanzania at the right pace.

Combine an active southern Tanzania safari with time to unwind in Zanzibar. Beginning at Julius Nyerere International Airport, this thirteen-day proposal visits Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha before an arranged air connection to the island for four nights by the coast.

The safari portion includes long transfer days and a guided forest walk; Zanzibar provides a change of pace with two full leisure days and optional excursions. Flights between Ruaha and Zanzibar may route through Dar es Salaam. Accommodation, seasonal road access and flight connections must be confirmed together. The journey finishes in Zanzibar, not at the original Dar es Salaam arrival airport.
