Tanzania and Zanzibar safaris: all inclusive packages
Safaris in Tanzania and Zanzibar are the perfect combination of savannah adventure and island paradise relaxation: a journey that unites two opposing worlds in one unforgettable African experience.
The first part of the trip takes you to the parks of northern Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara), where you’ll experience close encounters with the Big Five and, during the right months, the great herds of the Great Migration, amidst landscapes of immeasurable beauty.
Then, with the seaside extension to Zanzibar, you’ll immerse yourself in the crystal-clear blue of the Indian Ocean: white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and an enchanting tropical atmosphere. Zanzibar, the Spice Island, offers much more than idyllic beaches: you can savor the history of Stone Town, the local culture, snorkeling and diving among coral reefs, encounter dolphins, or relax in exclusive resorts.
Our Tanzania and Zanzibar safari packages last from 11 to 15 days and start from âŹ2,999 per person: each itinerary balances safari days with beach days, for a complete experience perfect for couples, families, and those who want to conclude an African adventure with the well-being of the dolce vita on the most captivating island in the Indian Ocean.
Safari in Tanzania + trip to Zanzibar
Why choose a Tanzania and Zanzibar safari?
A trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar combines two contrasting yet complementary experiences: the adrenaline rush of the savannah and the relaxation of the sea. The first part of the journey is spent in Africa’s great parks, including dawn game drives and encounters with the spectacular local wildlife, where lions, elephants, giraffes, and countless other animals await. After such intense days, the seaside extension to Zanzibar is the ideal counterpoint: white beaches, Stone Town, and relaxation by the Indian Ocean are the perfect way to end the trip, slowing down rather than rushing.
In a single experience, you can experience safaris in Tanzania’s most iconic parks, immerse yourself in nature and have close encounters with the Big Five, relax and have fun on breathtaking white beaches, and observe the ocean floor, on a trip suitable for families, couples, and honeymooners!
The packages offered range from 11 days (Happy Family Tour, designed for families) to 15 days (Leopard Tour, the most comprehensive), with intermediate options of 12 days (Rhino Tour) and 13 days (Zebra Tour).

The dry season (JuneâOctober) is ideal for safaris, with low vegetation making wildlife easier to spot and park roads easier to travel on.
