What people love about Beach Tours in Tanzania
Our experience on this tour was nothing but amazing. We asked to personalise the itinerary to be sure we would have the perfect Safari we dreamt of. Medison, our guide, was very knowledgeable and brought us on Game Drives across 4 different parks, allowing us to see all the wildlife (not just the Big Five). Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very high-level, with luxury-tents in Serengeti and great Lodges in the other locations. Our stay in Zanzibar was relaxed and well taken care of. I highly recommend this operator for a great Safari experience!

- 11-Day Kilimanjaro Climb via Marangu Route with Zanzibar Beach Retreat
The experience was very positive and safe. The team is very supportive and patient until I arrived to the highest peak. The Zanzibar beaches were very great experience. Hakuna matata :)
- 12 Days Tanzania Wildlife Safari & Zanzibar Beach Holiday
We did a fantastic tour with Jerome and Msange. They both know the best places to go to, we saw more wildlife than we could dream of and we had the best meals ever. We did a camping safari and felt very safe with them. We had lots of fun and learnt a lot about life in Tanzania. Our children liked the tour a lot as well and enjoyed relaxing on Zanzibar in the 2nd half of our journey. We would love to go back and recommand the guides to everyone. We really hope to come back one day!
