Tarangire National Park: The Best Chance of Seeing a Leopard & Lion & Cheetah Outside the Serengeti
This national park is often people's favourite park on the northern safari circuit outside of the Serengeti since there is so much wildlife waiting around every corner and this is the park to visit if you want to see the big cats outside of the Serengeti.
Thanks to a heterogenous array of topography which provides lots of different plant and tree species ample room to grow, a diverse species of herbivores has been attracted to the area, which is why Tarangire National Park is the “Home of the Elephants” in Tanzania, along with lots of other animals including buffalo, eland, gemsbok, zebra, wildebeest et al. Naturally, this attracts the attention of the predators that are always following closely behind their prey, the lions, leopards, cheetah, hyena, caracal, serval, jackal et al.
While there are no guarantees, nine times out of ten safaris, you are likely to see a cheetah, a leopard, and a lion in Tarangire National Park, the best chance to see a leopard outside the Serengeti.

Travel Back in Time With the Hadzabe People: A unique cultural experience that should not be missed
Spend the day with the Hadzabe people, one of the last ancient hunter-gatherer groups in Africa, who inhabit the land near Lake Eyasi, a gorgeous soda lake, part of the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, and soak in the experience of the Hadza people's traditional way of life.
The Hadza speak a unique language known as Hadzane, which incorporates clicking and popping sounds as well as more familiar sounds. According to their own history, which they preserve through oral tradition, the Hadza have lived in their current environment bordering the Serengeti plains since their first days as a unique group. This is relatively close to the spot where Homo habilis, one of the earliest hominids, lived 1.9 million years ago. Genetically, the Hadza show one of the oldest lineages of contemporary humans.
Guests will have the opportunity to engage with the charismatic Bushmen and learn all about their time-honoured hunting techniques, survival skills, food preparation and cultural norms.

Catch your Connecting Flight to Zanzibar to stay at the Luxurious Kobe House Hotel on Paje Beach
This remote village is a quiet fishermen village which has kept its rustic charms, with no massive tourism resorts dominating the beach, like they do in Nungwi.
The beach is called Paje, a stunning, white sand pristine beach with blue turquoise water colours, that really portrays the postcard picture perfect feel of a tropical island beach paradise of the Indian Ocean.
Paje's white-sand, palm shaded beaches and clear, blue sea are a haven for honeymooners and rest-seekers who wish to escape the touristy crowds in Nungwi.
Bordered on one side by an unbroken band of swaying coconut palms and on the other by the Indian Ocean’s turquoise waters, Paje's beaches are the firm focus of this paradisiacal peninsula.
Kobe House Hotel is located right on the beach, the lazulite waters of the Indian Ocean glistening temptingly right outside your room, making this the perfect place to end the perfect holiday as you surrender to serenity in comfort and style.

Zanzibar is an island steeped in culture and history – a destination which brought adventurers, seafarers and traders from far and wide. The Zanzibar archipelago is set in the Indian Ocean and made up of the larger islands of Pemba and Unguja (also called Zanzibar Island). Zanzibar is also known as the ‘Spice Island’ due to the delicious variety of spices grown on the island’s many plantations.
On the beach you are welcome to wear bikinis and swimming shorts, but if you head into the village, kindly exercise a bit more modesty.
You’ll likely see local women collecting seaweed at low tide in Paje, who turn the seaweed into soap, which is sold locally via a women’s cooperative, which is a good way to sustainably support the community since the soap is fantastic, comes wrapped in a banana leaf and can be bought in local shops.

Sumptuous, Sublime, and Serene, Zanzibar's Paje Beach is the Perfect Paradise to Soak in Serenity
Paje has a beautiful 7 km long beach with swaying palms. In contrary to some beaches in the north, this beach has powdery white sand and hardly any rocks or sea-urchins.
The barrier reef lies a few kilometres out, with a beautiful crystal turquoise lagoon in between. The broad lagoon of swallow water is perfect for wading, snorkeling and diving and offers an excellent view of the marine.
Thanks to its steady sideshore winds, Paje is also an ideal spot for wind- or kitesurfing. At high tide it’s nice to swim in the Indian Ocean and at low tide you can enjoy a nice beach walk.
Start the day by snorkelling at the Blue Lagoon, a beautiful reef full of coral and tropical fish. Treat yourself, after snorkeling, to nice food and drinks at The Rock. This restaurant is built on a rock in the ocean. An awesome place to enjoy the views. End the day at Kae Funk in Michamvi where you can experience the most beautiful sunset in Zanzibar.
