There is a reason why Tanzania is at the top of most safari enthusiasts’ bucket list – it is spectacular! This itinerary has been designed with romantic adventurers in mind, explorers who want to immerse themselves in the magic of an African Big 5 safari and tropical beach holiday, while also spoiling themselves and indulging in the finer things in life, curated by your expert Travel Cafe team and tailored to your unique needs and desires. Highlights include:



+ Exquisite bush dinners under dozens of lanterns suspended overhead from an Acacia tree

Your adventure of a lifetime starts with a safari that takes in three of the most impressive parks of Tanzania – Tarangire, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Your skilled driver-guide will expertly track Africa’s beautiful animal species during the day – from gargantuan elephants and lanky giraffe to rainbow-hued Fischer’s lovebirds. At night gaze up at the dazzling night sky, marvel at Maasai warriors’ traditional dances, enjoy a crackling bonfire or soak in a well-deserved bubble bath with views that stretch over the African plains. 



With scores of animal species checked off and viewed in awe, your adventure continues to the exotic spice island of Zanzibar. There you will walk its labyrinthine alleyways with the heady scent of cinnamon and cloves in the air, sail at sunset in a traditional dhow, snorkel in gin-clear water along pristine reefs and soak up the sun on unspoilt golden beaches.
