Sample itinerary - LUXURY RUAHA & ZANZIBAR

Your journey begins on arrival into Dar es Salaam, where you are met and transferred to the elegant Serena Hotel Dar es Salaam for a relaxing overnight stay. Set along the Indian Ocean shoreline, the hotel offers a calm introduction to Tanzania with its palm-fringed gardens, ocean views, and comfortable, well-appointed rooms—perfect for unwinding after your international flight.

The following morning, you return to the airport for your light aircraft flight into the wild heart of southern Tanzania: Ruaha National Park. Here, you will spend four nights at Ikuka Safari Camp, a beautifully positioned lodge perched high on an escarpment overlooking the vast wilderness below. Ikuka blends contemporary design with natural elements, offering spacious, open-fronted rooms with sweeping views. Days are spent exploring Ruaha’s rugged landscapes on expertly guided game drives, where large elephant herds, big cats, and diverse birdlife thrive far from the crowds. Evenings bring spectacular sunsets, fireside dining, and a true sense of remote African wilderness.

After your safari, you fly east to the spice island of Zanzibar, where a change of pace awaits. On arrival, you are transferred to Zuri Zanzibar for a four-night beach retreat. Set on one of the island’s most beautiful stretches of coastline, Zuri offers a stylish blend of contemporary luxury and African-inspired design. Spacious bungalows and villas are nestled within lush tropical gardens, while the powder-white beach and turquoise waters invite pure relaxation. You can spend your days unwinding by the ocean, enjoying spa treatments, or exploring the island’s rich culture, spice farms, and historic Stone Town.

Your journey concludes with a transfer back to Zanzibar Airport for your onward flight, leaving you with a perfect balance of Tanzania’s untamed safari wilderness and idyllic island escape.
