Tanzania
Discover the natural wonders of Tanzania with a safari and seek out wild animals in their natural habitat. With its contrasting landscapes, national parks and underwater reserves, this country has so much to offer. Let yourself be whisked away to a park populated by baobabs with the magnificent Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Take a camera and go in search of the Big Five: buffalo, leopard, rhino, elephant and lion await you. Whether in the famous Serengeti National Park on the border of Kenya or in one of the lesser-known but equally impressive smaller parks such as Tarangire National Park, where you can embark on a safari to observe the great migration or marvel at Tanzania's natural treasures! Seize the opportunity to have unforgettable encounters and immerse yourself in Tanzanian culture. An excursion to the Ngorongoro Crater also offers impressive views and unforgettable experiences. After your wild adventures, be tempted by a few days of well-deserved relaxation on the breathtaking beaches of Zanzibar.
Zanzibar
The historic spice island of Zanzibar lies just off the coast of Tanzania, and promises everyone a once-in-a-lifetime holiday experience, whether that be at the tail end of a thrilling safari or independently as an island adventure. Zanzibar caters for every traveller, whether that be those looking to backpack on a budget, or those interested in enjoying a luxurious and exotic getaway.
In terms of attractions, Zanzibar is as varied as it is beautiful, ensuring guests in search of diversity are constantly surprised. Stone Town should be number 1 on any tourist's bucket list. Charismatic, full of life and rich in history and culture, the quaint, cobbled streets of Stone Town are a delight to explore and offer up no end of treats, including the relaxed seafront promenade, the faded colonial buildings, the colourful food markets and unique touches such as the Aldabra giant tortoises at Prison Island (a short 30-minute boat ride from Stone Town itself). Given its historical focus on the spice industry, an informative spice tour is also highly recommended!
For those who simply wish to lay back, soak up the sunshine and unwind with a cocktail in hand, Zanzibar's many beaches are also destined to delight. Favourites include Nungwi and Kendwa in the north of the island, where tourists are sure to be awe-struck by an untouched Indian Ocean paradise.
