Inspiration for your own tailor-made trip
Spice Islands & the Tanzanian Coast,Western Tanzania
100% customisable for you
Your Tanzanian adventure begins with your international flight into Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival you will be met by and transferred to your hotel in Arusha, where you will be able to relax and recuperate, ready for your safari adventure to begin the following morning.
Early this morning you will be met and transferred to Arusha airstrip, here you will take a light aircraft to the remote and untouched Katavi National Park located in the far west of Tanzania. On route you will touch down in the Serengeti and Tabora to refuel, arriving into Katavi in time for a late lunch and siesta.
In the late afternoon take a short walk with an experienced safari guide and armed scout to see more of the area surrounding the camp, arriving back into camp in time for sundowners around the fire and dinner.
Today you wave goodbye to Katavi as you head to your next stop on your Tanzania adventure - Mahale Mountains National Park. After an hour long light aircraft flight you will arrive at Mahale airstrip, where you will continue your journey in style with an hour and a half minute dhow ride, complete with a yummy picnic lunch.
Arriving into the lodge by mid-afternoon spend the rest of the day at leisure, settling into your new lodge and surroundings. Why not take a dhow cruise down the lake, do a spot of fishing, a short forest hike, or simply relax on the beach. Meet at the bar in time for sundowners before having dinner in the dining area.
Relaxation is on the cards for the next two days; think lazing in hammocks, wandering deserted beaches, sunbathing by the pool and indulging in a spa treatment or two. The Tanzanian coast is incredibly beautiful and you'll want to savour every moment spent soaking up the laid back lifestyle and picturesque scenery here. If you needed proof, Pangani Beach was voted one of the world's best by the Sunday Times!
For the more adventurous, there are forest walks to be enjoyed and kayaks which are perfect for exploring the nearby lagoon. Keep your eyes peeled for Colobus monkeys in the treetops too! Divers are exceptionally well catered for here, and can take a boat out onto the archipelago that hosts Zanzibar and the other Spice Islands for some world class diving on the incredibly colourful and diverse coral reefs.
