Arrive in Tanzania’s vibrant coastal capital, where you’ll be warmly greeted and transferred to your charming waterfront hotel. Settle in, sip something refreshing, and let the anticipation of your journey begin

Embark on a scenic drive or optional flight to Nyerere National Park, one of Africa’s largest and most diverse protected areas.
Spend your days exploring by 4x4, boat, and on foot—cruising the Rufiji River, where hippos lounge and crocodiles glide, and venturing deep into bushland alive with elephants, lions, giraffes, and more.
Evenings bring tranquility, sunsets over the water, and the soothing sounds of the African night

Fly to Ruaha, Tanzania’s largest and arguably most dramatic national park. Remote and wonderfully wild, this land of baobabs and big cats offers thrilling game drives and unforgettable sightings—lions on the hunt, massive elephant herds, and rare African wild dogs.
Stay in a secluded camp just outside the park, where morning walking safaris and optional village visits connect you with both nature and culture

Travel deeper into the park to explore a new region with distinct landscapes—rolling hills, open plains, dense forests, and the ever-present Ruaha River.
Each game drive reveals something different, whether it’s a herd of buffalo moving through the dust or a leopard dozing in the trees. Your second stay in Ruaha brings fresh stories and richer insight into this captivating ecosystem

Leave the savannah behind and take to the skies once more—this time for the turquoise waters of Mafia Island.
Here, life slows to the sway of the palm trees. Swim, snorkel, or dive in crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. Discover colorful reefs, swim with gentle whale sharks (seasonal), or simply relax on soft white sands where time seems to stand still.
With its barefoot charm and untouched beauty, Mafia offers the perfect ending to your East African escape

As your journey comes to a close, take one last walk along the beach or enjoy a quiet breakfast overlooking the sea before flying back to Dar es Salaam or Nairobi to connect with your international flight.
Tanzania leaves an imprint on the soul—and it’s only a matter of time before you’ll want to return.
