Southern Tanzania and Zanzibar Beach Escape
Combine a more secluded and off-the-beaten-track safari experience in the Nyerere National Park (previously Selous) and the Ruaha National Park with a beach stay on the tropical island of Zanzibar. Tanzania's southern safari circuit is still relatively undiscovered, and the result is a safari experience that very few places in Africa can match for sheer adventure. In both parks, aside from game drives, you can expect rewarding walking safaris, boat safaris, fishing and opportunities to go fly-camping.
You will stay at sister camps Asilia Jabali Ridge and Asilia Roho ya Selous, both camps offer an intimate, close-to-nature safari experience. Finish with some well-earned relaxation time on the stunning Zanzibar coastline, staying at the luxurious Zuri Zanzibar. Enjoy the private beach, a host of watersports and luxurious spa treatments.
