Itinerary Highlights

Snorkelling/Diving

Immerse yourself in beautiful waters either beach side or off a boat. There are plenty of places to hire, dip and dive nearby.

Dive with Whale Sharks

Snorkel with the largest fish in the seas off Mafia Island from October to February as they come in to feed on the plankton blown in from mainland Tanzania.

Beach Fun & Watersports

There’s always something to do on the beach but if you need something a little more active try the plethora of motorised and non motorised watersports at hand.

Off the Beaten Track

Avoid the crowds and optimise your safari by choosing smaller camps away from mass tourism with top guiding and abundant wildlife.

The Stunning Beaches of Zanzibar

There’s nowhere quite like it for the stunning white-white fine sand and turqoise warm sea. Have fun swimming or just chilling on the beach and watching the dhows sail by.

Read our testimonials

I am just back from Tanzania and wanted to thank you very much for a fantastic itinerary. I loved all the accommodation choices made, all the connecting flights worked well and the guide was superb. I had a great time and let me know if you want to get some more feedback on any of the properties suggested by you and also Pongwe Beach which excellent.

Armin

Many thanks for a truly great holiday! Nyerere National Park was a great success as we saw the wild dogs on 2 occasions and some great lion kills. In fact we saw a pride of 10 lion including cubs within 10 mins of landing in the Nyerere National Park! Zanzibar was wonderful! The sunshine hotel was beautiful and the staff were lovely.

Andrew Morton

The welcome and kindness and generosity we have received, in all of our camps and stops has been tremendous. Although we have both travelled a lot over our years together, we both agree this holiday has been outstanding, and one of the best experiences of our lives.

Tanzania Northern Parks & Zanzibar, August 2019

Thank you for organising a fabulous holiday for us – memories of which will last a lifetime. We have arrived back completely awed by Tanzania and Zanzibar. We saw the all the wildlife we could possibly wish to see. Our driver was charming and looked after us brilliantly. Lodges were excellent and food fantastic.
