Tanzania And Zanzibar Safaris

The endless Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and the beaches of Zanzibar, planned as one journey.

Tanzania holds some of Africa's most famous wildlife areas, including the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. It also has Zanzibar, one of the most appealing places to end a safari, with white beaches, warm water and the historic Stone Town.

We plan Tanzania as a stand-alone trip or as a second chapter after gorillas in Uganda or the Masai Mara in Kenya.
