A short, scenic flight takes you deep into the heart of Nyerere National Park (formerly the Selous). Over the next five days, you'll experience a safari far from the crowds. Enjoy thrilling game drives, peaceful walking safaris, and exclusive boat safaris along the Rufiji River, returning each evening to the warmth of your luxury camp.
Spice & Stone Town - The Zanzibar Transition

We'll fly you back to the mainland for a relaxed return to city life. Spend the afternoon exploring the upscale Slipway, discovering beautiful local boutiques for unique, curated pieces to take home.
