8 Days Safari & Beach: Nyerere to Zanzibar

Holiday 8 days Private From US$2,450
Overview

Three days of wild Africa in Nyerere with boat and walking safaris, then four nights on the Zanzibar coast to wash off the dust. One trip, two very different worlds.

Start in the bush, end in the sea. You fly from Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park for two nights by the Rufiji River: game drives, a boat safari and a walk with an armed ranger.

Then you fly back to the island for a night in Stone Town and four on the beach of your choice. Pick the beach and the place to stay from Zanta Booking when you book.
