The Kenya Safari & Zanzibar Escape combines two genuinely different sides of East Africa into a single nine-day trip. The first half is a classic wildlife circuit through Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its flamingos and rhino sanctuary, followed by two full days in the Maasai Mara — including a Maasai village visit and a chance at the annual Great Migration in season.
From the Mara, a flight direct from the airstrip takes you to Zanzibar for five nights at an all-inclusive beach resort. Highlights include a guided tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a visit to a local spice farm, and genuinely unhurried beach days with optional add-ons like snorkeling, diving, a sunset dhow cruise, or a trip to Jozani Forest to see the rare red colobus monkey. Travel throughout the safari portion is in a private 4×4 land cruiser, priced for groups of 2 to 6 travelers.
