Serengeti's endless plains, Ngorongoro Crater, Kilimanjaro's summit, and Zanzibar's spice-scented beaches.
Overview
About this package
Six days on Zanzibar's Swahili coast — a walk through Stone Town's UNESCO-listed alleyways and its old slave-trade site, a spice-farm tour where cloves, vanilla and nutmeg are tasted straight off the plant, and a sailing dhow trip out to the Nakupenda sandbar that appears and vanishes with the tide. Nungwi's beach bars close out each evening.
