Best of Both Worlds

Safari + Beach Combos

Early mornings with lions, then a week where the only decision is which side of the shade to sit on. This is the trip most travellers wish they had booked.

Why combine safari and beach?

A safari is intense in the best way — pre-dawn starts, long drives, hours of watching and waiting. Zanzibar is the natural other half of it. Because the island sits a short flight from the parks, you can go from the Serengeti to the Indian Ocean in a single morning, and end a demanding trip completely rested. It is the reason we build more safari + beach itineraries than any other kind.

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose your safari

    Three days in the crater and Tarangire, or a full week across the Serengeti — we pick the parks that suit your season.

  2. 02

    Fly to Zanzibar

    A short scheduled flight from Arusha or Dar es Salaam. No long transfers, no wasted day in transit.

  3. 03

    Relax on the beach

    Finish on the north or east coast with nothing scheduled — or add a dhow trip, spice tour and reef snorkelling.

Combo packages

14 safari + beach journeys, each one adjustable in length, hotel level and pace.
