Overview

This itinerary takes you to the north of Serengeti and Zanzibar for a chance to witness the Great Migration as well as the beach. While the sight of hundreds of thousands of wildebeest and zebras thunder across the plains is spectacular, the Mara River crossing is absolutely one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in Africa. Dust exploding, lions stalking a moveable feast, gigantic crocodiles and fast flowing wild rivers await. It is sensational, impressive and dramatic at the same time.

The Zanzibar Archipelago vies with the Serengeti is Tanzania’s most precious natural asset, able to hypnotize even the most jaded traveler into focus contemplation. Undoubtedly, one of the jewels in East Africa’s crown, Zanzibar (Unguja) can only be described as peace of tropical heaven. Turquoise blue waters gently lap palm-fringed beaches, which stretch for miles; traditional white-sailed wooden dhows sail on warm sea breezes.
