Southern Circuit & Zanzibar
About this journey
This unique combination pairs Tanzania's hidden southern gems with Zanzibar's finest beach. While most safari-beach combos follow the well-trodden northern route, this journey explores the wild, uncrowded south — Nyerere's river safaris and Ruaha's elephant-filled landscapes — before flying you to Zanzibar for four nights of barefoot luxury.
