Description

Embark on the ultimate 9-day Spice Island & Safari Journey, a perfect blend of cultural exploration and thrilling wildlife encounters. Your adventure begins in Zanzibar, where you’ll explore the historic spice plantations, learning about the island’s spice trade while enjoying the rich scents of cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Afterward, dive into the vibrant streets of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you’ll discover its blend of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European influences through its winding alleys and architectural marvels. On Day 3 and 4, you’ll fly to Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous), one of Africa’s largest and most pristine game reserves. This untouched wilderness is perfect for adventurous souls, offering a blend of boat safaris along the Rufiji River and thrilling game drives across vast savannahs. Keep an eye out for lions, elephants, giraffes, and the rare wild dog, as well as large populations of hippos and crocodiles along the riverbanks. With fewer tourists, the park offers an exclusive safari experience, allowing for intimate encounters with nature. Stay in luxurious lodges or tented camps, where the sound of the wild will lull you to sleep under the stars. After your time in Nyerere, return to Zanzibar for the final leg of your journey.
