Wanderlust

Tanzania safari and beach holiday

This unique itinerary offers you the chance to experience and explore the Tarangire and Manyara National Parks, as well as the Ngorongoro Crater, plus you can interact with a Masai tribe at a local village. After all this safari excitement, you will need some down-time, so we suggest relaxing on a lovely beach alongside majestic coconut palms and the Indian Ocean.

In the wet season, the Manyara and Tarangire Pans fill with water which attracts huge flocks of flamingos and other wading birds. Your 2 nights at camp or lodge will give you the opportunity to see both Parks, before heading to your lodge.

The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest and most perfectly formed volcanic crater in the world. Within its caldera, some 30,000 animals roam, making it ridiculously rich in wildlife.

Finally, you’ll hit the beaches of Zanzibar, to sink your toes into soft white sand. Your resort is situated on a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean and offers panoramic views from every angle. You can enjoy breakfast overlooking the ocean or dinner under the stars and sundowners on the jetty or even from the balcony of your room. From walking on the beach, to windsurfing, to strolling amongst the mangroves at low tide, the Zanzibar resorts has something for everyone.
