Combine Tanzania's headline safari with its headline island. Start with Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, then fly from the bush to Zanzibar for three nights of Stone Town's alleys, spice farms and Nungwi's white sand.

Safari and beach connected by internal flights — no wasted days.

Safari expert's note

Fly Seronera–Zanzibar direct so your beach days start the same afternoon you leave the plains.
