Safari and sea - a classic combination
After exploring the African plains on safari, wash off the dust of the bush with a few days of rustic beach bliss on the tropical island of Zanzibar before heading back home.
The raw and remote wilderness areas of southern Tanzania - namely Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park - are within easy access of the Spice Island of Zanzibar, making this a convenient combination.
The seclusion of southern Tanzania's parks pairs particularly well with a stay in Zanzibar, where you can relax in style in this sublime tropical paradise.
