Tanzania & Zanzibar

Serengeti Safari

The Serengeti National Park one of Tanzania's treasures. With millions of migrating wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebra, as well as lions and other big game, the Serengeti is a dream safari destination. Take an experienced guide and explore these endless plains with your camera at the ready.

Tanzania & Zanzibar

Mnemba Island & Atoll

Part of the Zanzibar Archipelago, this small island features a lush interior circled by a ring of fine white sands and cradled in the colourful Indian Ocean. It's a popular scuba diving and snorkelling site that gives you the chance to encounter the amazing marine life here, including dolphins, humpback whales, turtles and whale sharks.

Tanzania & Zanzibar

Kilimanjaro National Park

Whether you decide to take a hike up or around Mount Kilimanjaro or decide instead to enjoy a safari in its shadow, you'll feel awestruck in the presence of Africa's largest mountain. Stretching over 5,000 meters above sea level, Kilimanjaro is probably one of the only things that will pull your camera's focus away from the wildlife.

Tanzania & Zanzibar

Stone Town

Known as Mji Mkongwe, Stone Town is the oldest section of Zanzibar City. The architecture dates back to the 19th century and has European and Middle Eastern influences, among others, reflecting the change in rule this island has undergone over the years. Visit the House of Wonders and the Palace Museum, which is home to exhibitions dedicated to Swahili culture.

Zanzibar Beaches

With white sands between your toes and the Indian Ocean lapping your feet, Zanzibar beaches are the perfect place to relax and unwind. Two of the finest beaches on the island are Nungwi Beach, with its wide, palm-lined bay and turtle sanctuary, and Kendwa Beach, whose clear aquamarine waters are ideal for snorkelling.
