Inspirational safari & beach vacation to Kenya and Tanzania
This luxury twin-centre holiday combines a luxury tented safari in Kenya's Maasai Mara with a beach stay on the island of Zanzibar. Begin with a stay at Cottar's 1920's, situated in an untouched exclusive concession bordering the Serengeti, Maasai Mara and Loliondo reserves. Both the camp and the area guarantee privacy and an abundance of wildlife. Enjoy day and night game drives, game walks, and cultural interactions with the Maasai community, and then retreat back to camp for your pure Out of Africa experience. At Cottar's the golden age of safari is recreated in a heady cocktail of marquee tents, antique furnishings and liveried staff.
Then it's time to take the beautiful flight over to the island of Zanzibar for your stay at Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas. This stylish boutique hotel is located on the beachfront of Paje. The 11 luxury villas, with private pool, all face one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Whether you stick to the sun lounger or go diving or kitesurfing in the warm turquoise waters of the beach, Zanzibar is the ideal place after a safari.
