The Experience

Island relaxation with a real safari experience built in.

The 10-Day Safari + Zanzibar Escape is designed for travelers who want both Zanzibar and safari, but prefer a lighter, more accessible version of the full Safari + Zanzibar journey.

You begin in Zanzibar, settle into the island, enjoy a curated cultural experience, then travel to the mainland for a coordinated safari experience before returning to Zanzibar to relax.

This package is ideal for travelers who want wildlife, beach time, cultural discovery, and support with the logistics — without building everything from scratch.

Safari structure, accommodation, transport, and final inclusions are confirmed based on your dates, travel season, budget, and preferred experience style.

  • Private Zanzibar airport pickup and drop-off
  • Zanzibar accommodation selected based on dates, budget, and travel style
  • 2 meals per day during the Zanzibar portion
  • Safari coordination and mainland transfer planning

  • Park fees based on final safari structure
