This cruise or holiday is shown here for your customers. Google is asked not to index it. Only Skylord Cruise & Holidays ranks for this shared content.

Discover the wild and untouched beauty of Tanzania on an extraordinary 11-day journey that takes you far beyond the traditional safari trail. Venture into the remote landscapes of Katavi National Park, one of Africa's most secluded wildlife havens, where vast plains are home to large herds of buffalo, elephants, lions and hippos. Guided game drives provide exceptional opportunities to witness nature at its most authentic, far from the crowds found in more familiar safari destinations.

The adventure continues in Gombe Stream National Park, made famous by Jane Goodall's ground-breaking chimpanzee research. Trek through lush forests alongside experienced guides in search of wild chimpanzees, enjoying intimate wildlife encounters in one of Tanzania's most fascinating conservation areas. Combined with spectacular scenery and rich biodiversity, Gombe offers a rare and rewarding experience that few travellers ever have the opportunity to enjoy.

After your safari adventure, unwind with a stay on the idyllic island of Zanzibar. Relax on palm-fringed beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters and discover the island's rich Swahili heritage through visits to historic Stone Town and fragrant spice plantations. With return UK flights, domestic flights, accommodation, meals as specified, park fees, expert guides and transfers all included, this remarkable journey combines remote wildlife encounters, unique primate experiences and tropical islands.

Itinerary

Depart the UK in the evening on an overnight flight to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Relax and rest on board, preparing for your Tanzanian adventure. Dar es Salaam. Dar es Salaam is the largest city and main commercial hub of Tanzania, located along the Indian Ocean coast and serving as a vital gateway to East Africa. Founded in the mid-19th century, the city has grown into a vibrant, fast-paced metropolis that blends modern urban life with deep cultural and historical roots. Its busy port plays a central role in regional and international trade, supporting not only Tanzania's economy but also that of several landlocked neighboring countries. Dar es Salaam is known for its diverse population, lively markets, and rich mix of influences from African, Arab, and South Asian cultures, which are reflected in its architecture, cuisine, music, and everyday life. Despite rapid urbanization, the city retains a strong connection to the ocean through its beaches, fishing communities, and waterfront areas, making it a dynamic center of economic activity, culture, and coastal heritage.
