Inspirational safari & beach honeymoon to Tanzania
A safari and beach combination which focuses on the southern regions of Tanzania, an area of the country that is comparatively untouched by tourism. As an experience this is a real treat both for the experienced safari goer as well as first timer. The fly-in safari takes place in two incredible parks, the Nyerere National Park (previously Selous Game Reserve) and Ruaha National Park. These untamed wilderness areas offer a very different - but equally rewarding - Tanzania safari from those more famous safaris of the Northern Circuit. You will stay at sister camps Jongomero and Siwandu. It's a more secluded and off-the-beaten-track experience offering more than the standard game drives. Here you can expect rewarding walking safaris, authentic cultural visits, boat safaris, fishing and opportunities to go fly-camping.
After an active safari, spend 4 days on the beaches of Zanzibar putting your feet up. Ziwadi Hotel is a private, intimate getaway beach retreat with only 12 spacious villas. Enjoy swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean throughout the day regardless of tides and can go snorkeling straight from the beach.
