Beach & Safaris Package

Serengeti Safari Zanzibar: When most people think about a holiday in Africa, a wildlife safari followed by a leisurely break on a beach is what springs to mind. This exciting combination is at the top of many tourists’ wish list, and quite rightly so.

Nothing fits that bill better than the Serengeti – teeming with wild animals – and the exotic lure of Zanzibar. Here at Calabash Adventures, we can help you arrange a Serengeti Safari Zanzibar holiday that features both destinations as well as a selection of other options.

From your beach location in Zanzibar, we can arrange short safari packages starting from Arusha or Mpanda, lasting from one to six days, or more. Flights are available to Arusha or even Serengeti itself, from where you can start your safari.

There are a number of different extensions we can arrange to add on to your Zanzibar beach stay: safaris to witness the mighty migration in Serengeti; to see the chimpanzees in Gombe or Mahale, or to theLesser Kudu in Nyerere National Park in Southern Tanzania (formerly known as Selous); or even Mikumi National Park.

Our most popular request for extensions from Zanzibar is a three-day safari covering Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. If you are planning to visit Zanzibar, why not get in touch for us to find the most suitable option for your interests and budget to make your vacation extra special.

Alternatively, should the safari be your main reason for visiting Tanzania, why not add a relaxing beach extension in Zanzibar.

Another amazing safari extension is Mafia Island, a small island in the Indian Ocean, just south of Zanzibar, which is home to a marine park and is a heaven for divers. Both islands offer a choice of hotels and experiences, whether you are seeking a relaxing break or underwater adventures.

Mafia and Zanzibar have a variety of dive sites in the warm, clear waters where you can swim with darting schools of fish and lively dolphins with visibility up to 30m.

For those who are looking to unwind, you can enjoy a spa treatment or savor a cocktail under swaying palm trees on the beach, caressed by the balmy onshore breeze while enjoying glorious views of the traditional lateen-rigged dhows.

Step away from the sun-soaked beaches and you will discover the rich history and melting pot of cultures in Stone Town. Here, you’ll find winding side roads echoing with Swahili music, wonderfully carved wooden doors, and warm, friendly people.
