Tanzania Safaris
Tanzania holds the distinction of having some of the world's highest populations of several animal species. Enjoy enthralling game drives through its famed game reserves to spot lions, black and white rhinos, leopards, buffalo and more.
As you traverse the region's wide open plains, look out for chimpanzees swinging through the trees, elephant herds, and giraffes peeking out through the ancient baobab trees. If you visit during the Great Migration months, you will get to witness the breathtaking sight of almost two million wildebeest and zebras thundering through the Serengeti in search of greener pastures.
Zanzibar
After exploring the region's amazing wilderness and wildlife, the island paradise of Zanzibar is the perfect place to relax and round off a memorable holiday.
Go diving or snorkelling in the glistening blue waters, and swim with bottlenose dolphins, seahorses and octopus. Zanzibar is also famed for its postcard perfect beaches, and warm sunny weather.
Along the coast, meet the local fishermen and farmers that are the backbone of the 'Spice Island'. Savour the local cuisine infused with fragrant spices such as cinnamon and masala. You can also learn about the island’s multi-ethnic history as you explore the winding streets and unique architecture of Stone Town.
