Bush & Beach Safaris Collection

About this style

Bush & Beach Safaris combine the thrill of an African wildlife safari with the relaxation of tropical island beaches. This unique travel experience allows visitors to explore Tanzania’s famous national parks before unwinding on the beautiful shores of Zanzibar.

The journey usually begins with an exciting safari adventure in destinations such as Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, or Lake Manyara. During the safari, travelers can witness incredible wildlife including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and the legendary Big Five.

After the safari, the adventure continues with a short flight to Zanzibar Island. Here visitors can relax on pristine white sand beaches, swim in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, explore historic Stone Town, and enjoy world-class snorkeling and diving.

This combination of wildlife adventure and tropical relaxation makes bush and beach safaris one of the most popular travel experiences in East Africa.

Perfect for honeymooners, couples, families, and first-time visitors to Africa, bush and beach safaris offer the best of both worlds in one unforgettable journey.

Visitors can witness the calving season in the southern Serengeti, large herds moving across the central plains, or thrilling river crossings in the northern Serengeti. Great Migration safaris provide some of the most unforgettable wildlife viewing opportunities in Africa and attract photographers, nature lovers, and safari enthusiasts from around the world.
