As the sun paints the horizon with the colors of dawn, we gather with expectant hearts to embark on a journey filled with history and beauty. Our journey begins as we sail from Dar es Salaam to the famous island of Zanzibar, a jewel in the Indian Ocean. Upon arrival in the enchanting old town of Stone Town, we are greeted by labyrinthine streets that whisper stories of bygone eras. Here, amidst the echoes of the past, we lay down our burdens of worry for the land and embrace the promise of adventure with lighter souls. Day 2: Unveiling Zanzibar's spice-laden splendor. With the first light, we step into the vibrant canvas of Stone Town and follow in the footsteps of explorers and traders through its historic alleys. Our journey then takes us beyond the city's borders, into the heart of Zanzibar's spice-scented landscape.

Today is your arrival day in Zanzibar and is available for you to explore the city. We recommend that you check in with the crew at the Maru Maru Hotel at 4:00 PM, who will check you in and give you a brief orientation of what to expect in the coming days. Please note that a walking tour of Stone Town is included in your tour for the following day.
Beaches of Zanzibar
With a rich history, this bustling port was once a landmark on both the slave and spice trade routes. Our morning begins with a city tour of Stone Town to discover the more well-known landmarks, including the birthplace of Freddy Mercury. After our city tour, we travel by car to our base for the next 2 nights. Before our arrival, we stop along the way to enjoy a guided spice tour that takes us through villages and spice plantations. You will experience first-hand how spice farm workers climb the trees and look for specific plants, and you will have the opportunity to buy fresh spices directly from these farms.
Beaches of Zanzibar
Today is a free day to enjoy some of the many attractions and activities that are offered. Water sports are at the forefront. Whatever you choose today, you have plenty of opportunities to create some memories of the island. Explore the many attractions on offer or simply relax on the beach and enjoy the sun.
Bagamoyo
We say goodbye to the island and board our return ferry; upon our arrival at the port of Dar es Salaam, we meet our truck again and return to Bagamoyo, where we spend the night.
Arusha
This morning we are heading north and crossing the northern regions of Tanzania. Our destination for the night is the vibrant city of Arusha. Northern Tanzania is home to the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro, and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Karatu
Although it is a short distance to Karatu, we will be on the road for most of the day to move closer to the Ngorongoro Crater. Before our arrival in Karatu, we will visit the Mto wa Mbu market, located in the small village of Mto wa Mbu. Known for products like rice and their distinctive red bananas, the town is located on the main road that leads directly to the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area. This evening, our guide will inform us about our 2-night trip.
Ngorongoro Crater & Serengeti National Park (Seronera) excursion
We get up early and are picked up from our camp and transported by 4x4 safari vehicles to the Ngorongoro Crater. In the morning, we will explore the crater floor and look for the animals that roam the plains. In the afternoon, we will reach our camp in the Seronera region, located in the heart of the Serengeti National Park. The camp is surrounded by spectacular views and abundant wildlife, and tonight, while enjoying a cold drink, we will experience the sights and sounds of nature passing right in front of our Meru tent.

Kenya - Nairobi
This morning we cross the border into Kenya and make our way to Nairobi. You will have time in the afternoon to repack your bags for your trip to the Masai Mara. The visit to the Masai Mara will be in safari vehicles and not by truck. For this reason, you are asked to pack a small overnight bag for traveling. You will need your towel, clothes, toiletries, and camping gear.
Masai Mara National Reserve
We leave the capital Nairobi and travel to the Masai Mara, which is world-famous for its endless plains with wild animals and spectacular beauty. The visit to the Masai Mara is conducted with safari-like vehicles and not with the truck. For this reason, you are asked to pack a small overnight bag for traveling. You will need your towel, clothing, toiletries, and camping accessories.
Masai Mara National Reserve
The rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara offer ideal opportunities for wildlife observation and photography. The animals that can be found here include elephant, black rhino, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle. Hippopotamuses and crocodiles teem in the muddy brown waters of the rivers that run through this reserve. Today we will spend the whole day wildlife watching in the Mara, in search of all the animals.
Lake Nakuru National Park
This morning we say goodbye to Mara before we drive to Lake Nakuru National Park, where we will enjoy a game drive through the park in the afternoon. Lake Nakuru is home to large flocks of flamingos and pelicans as well as black and white rhinos, leopards, lions, and numerous antelopes. Originally established as a bird sanctuary, Lake Nakuru was elevated to the status of a national park in 1968.
Lake Nakuru - Nairobi
We get up early and say goodbye to Lake Nakuru and head to Nairobi. After our arrival in Nairobi, we will visit the Nairobi Giraffe Centre, followed by a safari through Nairobi National Park. Nairobi National Park is home to black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and much more.

Translated from German · Show original
Die Organisation der 14-tägigen Erlebnisreise durch Kenia und Tansania war durchdacht und strukturiert. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die täglichen Briefings, die vor den Etappen im Amboseli Nationalpark und Tsavo Nationalpark abgehalten wurden, sowie die klare Routenplanung, die eine ausgewogene Balance zwischen Safari-Aktivitäten und Erholungsphasen an den Stränden von Sansibar bot. Das engmaschige Betreuungsverhältnis in der Gruppengröße von maximal 20 Personen trug zur positiven Erfahrung bei.

FAQS
-
What insurance do I need?
Zanzibar requires tourists to have additional insurance despite having their own foreign health insurance, which must be applied for in advance and costs $40. This is seen as a rip-off by many tourists, but if you want to vacation in Zanzibar, you have to go through it. This insurance must be applied for online in advance.
