12 Days of Wildlife, Wilderness & Island Relaxation

Experience the thrill of East Africa’s wilderness, followed by the gentle rhythm of island life. This safari and beach journey brings together Kenya’s Masai Mara, Tanzania’s Serengeti, and the tropical shores of Zanzibar.

Begin with a flight into the Masai Mara, where sweeping grasslands set the scene for your wildlife adventure. Head out on game drives in search of lions, elephants, giraffes, and other remarkable wildlife, with time to take in the beauty of the savannah.

Continue to the Serengeti for more extraordinary landscapes and wildlife encounters. From big cats resting in the shade to herds moving across the plains, every game drive offers something different.
