From Savannah to Spice Island: The Ultimate East African Escape
This is more than just a trip—it’s a transformational journey across some of Africa’s most iconic and soul-stirring landscapes. Travel through the heart of Tanzania, where sunrises over the Serengeti ignite the sky in gold and the call of the wild echoes across the savanna. Then descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, before winding through the misty Usambara Mountains, where trails lead to remote villages and warm smiles.
Cap it all off on the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches, Swahili architecture, and crystal-clear waters offer the perfect finale. With every stop, you’ll experience the rhythm, beauty, and depth of East Africa—a place that lingers in your memory long after you’ve left.
- Explore the Serengeti, a wildlife arena like no other, and look for lions, leopards, elephants and giraffes in this iconic park.
- Take a mind-blowing safari across the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater in an open-roof 4WD vehicle for a chance to see the endangered black rhinoceros.
- Embark on a hike through the Usambara Mountains to the Irente viewpoint, then stop at a farm on the way back for a picnic lunch.
- Wander around Stone Town’s bustling bazaars and fragrant spice markets, and consider heading on an optional guided tour of the island’s spice plantations.
- Accompanied by a local crew — a leader, driver and cook – you’ll be in excellent hands for the duration of your adventure.
F.A.Q
Is this trip right for me?
This is an overland trip. That means you’ll be traveling with a group in a purpose-built vehicle, visiting remote communities, setting up your own tent, occasionally roughing it in the bush with no facilities, and getting the best possible views of the Big Five. While the trucks don’t have air conditioning, they do have sliding windows which let in the breeze and make it even easier to take spectacular snaps of the local wildlife. The drive days can be long, but it’s as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie.
What’s the accommodation like?
You’ll stay in a mix of permanent safari camps, lodges, and guesthouses, with the occasional rustic stay in more remote areas. All accommodations are clean, comfortable, and locally owned, offering a real taste of East African hospitality.
How physically demanding is the trip?
This tour is rated moderate, with daily activities including hikes, game drives, and walking tours. A basic level of fitness is needed, but the itinerary is well-paced and includes plenty of time to rest, especially once you reach Zanzibar.
What should I pack for this trip?
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing, a warm layer for cooler nights, sturdy walking shoes, swimwear, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a good camera or binoculars for wildlife viewing. A small daypack and reusable water bottle will also come in handy for hikes and excursions.
How do rooming arrangements work?
Trip prices are based on shared arrangements (typically two guests per room), unless otherwise stated. For solo travelers, we’ll pair you with another person of the same gender to share rooms and if there’s no one suitable to share with, there’s no forced single supplement. However, if you specifically request your own rooms, you can opt to pay the single supplement. Solo travelers who book within 120 days of departure, where there are no other solo travelers willing to share, will be required to pay the single supplement.
For Family Vacation bookings, families consisting of four guests traveling with children aged 17 and under will be automatically assigned one shared room. However, the following alternative rooming allocations are available:
- Families consisting of four guests with all children aged 13 and above are welcome to opt for additional rooms as per advertised double occupancy adult rates.
- Families consisting of four guests with at least one child aged 12 and under are automatically assigned a shared room. However, families can opt to pay the adult rates for all guests in their family to have an additional room.
- The same principles apply for families consisting of more than four guests.
Rooming preferences are subject to availability and must be communicated in writing at time of booking. Automatic assignments as per this policy will be applied in the absence of any specification provided by guests. Any request for additional rooms during trips will be at guests’ own expense and subject to rates made available by the accommodation provider at the time. All minors (guests aged 17 and under) must be accompanied by at least one adult.
