The combination of safari and beach strikes the perfect balance between the thrill of tracking down some awe-inspiring wildlife and the indulgence of taking it easy on the beach, as you enjoy the beauty of nature in its many forms. Nothing is overlooked with this itinerary, so you can be sure that you’ll experience the very best of Tanzania!
