Fly out from Seronera Airstrip (Serengeti) to Zanzibar

On our last day in the Serengeti, we wake up early for one last wildlife drive. Due to the inactivity of most predators during the heat of the day, the early morning is the best time to witness the excitement of the chase.

Please take advantage of your remaining time in the Serengeti National Park before we head to the Seronera Airstrip to board a flight to Zanzibar.

Relaxing on Zanzibar's pristine beach

You can spend your days lounging by the pool at your hotel or venturing out to discover the old area of Stone Town where you can get lost in the maze of narrow alleyways and centuries of history. Due to its status as one of the few locations globally where saffron is harvested, Zanzibar is commonly referred to as the "Spice Island". The island is also home to a wealth of cultural traditions. Be sure to take a tour of one of the local spice farms here to learn about this highly sought-after spice that is worth more than its weight in gold and to try some of the delectable exotic fruit that is cultivated here.

During your visit to this area, we strongly advise that you go on a dolphin tour. You will set sail at the end of the day to see pods of dolphins leap over the water and swim beside your boat.
