Tanzania: Off the beaten track (11N) – Value

The safari starts with three nights in the Selous Game Reserve, just under a one-hour flight from Dar es Salaam. The location of Lake Manze is one of the camp's main selling points as the camp is located inside the park, in the game-rich Siwanda area, where guests have the chance to spot game from foot, boat, and standard game drives. It is one of our favourite tented camps!

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation including all meals and bottled water. Standard game drives from a shared 4x4 game drive vehicle, along with walking and boating safaris, are all included in the price.

Leaving the Selous, we fly into Ruaha National Park. Flights over Southern Tanzania are nothing short of exceptional. Mdonya Old River Camp is located in the Mwagusi area of Ruaha, an area well known for its lion population and general concentrations of big game. Mdonya is a simple tented camp that was originally set up by a couple of lion researchers. It has since become a favourite for us and is one of the best-value camps in Africa.

Board basis and activities:
Full-board accommodation including all meals and bottled water. Standard game drives from a shared 4x4 game are included in the price.

From Ruaha, you will fly to Zanzibar for five days of sun soaking. Pongwe Beach Hotel is situated on one of the best and most secluded beaches on the island. A very chilled boutique hotel with gorgeous traditional Zanzibari design elements, a super team of staff, and lovely food – and all at such great value. This is one of our go-to properties on the island!

Board basis and activities:
Half-board basis (dinner, bed & breakfast). Activities at an additional cost include snorkeling, SCUBA diving, day trips to Stone Town, visiting a spice farm and Jozani Forest. 

On Day 12, you will fly to Kilimanjaro Airport and connect with your international flight.
