Itinerary
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is the main gateway to Zanzibar, welcoming travellers to this enchanting archipelago of Tanzania. Located on Unguja Island, near Zanzibar City, the airport connects the Spice Islands to East Africa, Europe and the Middle East. With a modern international Terminal 3, it is the ideal start for discoveries in Stone Town and along the islands’ famous beaches.
Mtemere Airstrip is a key access point for travellers undertaking fly-in safaris to the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park (formerly the northern part of the Selous Game Reserve) in southern Tanzania. Strategically located near the eastern Mtemere Gate and the Rufiji River, this crucial airstrip primarily serves tourists connected by charter or scheduled flight from major hubs such as Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Arusha directly to lodges and tented camps deep in this remote, game-rich area.
Selous is known as one of Africa’s largest and most historically significant protected wilderness areas. Originally called the Selous Game Reserve and now largely incorporated into the Nyerere National Park, this vast landscape in Tanzania is famous for its diverse wildlife, pristine nature and the mighty Rufiji River.
Escape to Zanzibar, a breathtaking archipelago off the coast of Tanzania that sparkles in the Indian Ocean. This iconic destination in East Africa is a mosaic of idyllic, white-sand beaches gently lapped by crystal-clear turquoise waters – the ultimate tropical island holiday.
At the heart of the island is Stone Town, a historic city of great cultural value, where ancient Arab, Indian, African and European influences can be felt in its narrow alleys and centuries-old architecture.
Known for generations as the ‘Spice Island’, the scent of cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon still hangs in the air – best experienced on a fragrant and colourful spice tour. Zanzibar is much more than just sun and beach: it offers a harmonious blend of enchanting coastal landscapes, a vibrant Swahili culture and a rich, compelling history.
