A trip to Tanzania doesn’t have to be just about game drives — it can be so much more. Combo safaris offer the perfect way to blend Tanzania’s iconic wildlife experiences with its other unforgettable highlights, from the sun-drenched shores of Zanzibar to the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro and the rich cultures of local communities.

Tanzania is a land of contrasts — from thundering wildlife herds to tranquil turquoise waters, from snow-capped peaks to ancient cultures. With our combo safari options, you can seamlessly blend Tanzania’s top experiences into one unforgettable journey. Here are some of our most popular pairings:
Safari + Zanzibar Beach Escape
Start with the thrill of the wild — explore the iconic national parks of Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, where lions roam and wildebeests thunder across golden plains. Then, trade your safari boots for flip-flops and fly to Zanzibar, where white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters await.
This is the perfect combo for honeymooners or anyone looking to balance action with relaxation. Enjoy optional spice tours, strolls through historic Stone Town, and marine adventures like snorkeling, diving, or sailing on a dhow at sunset.
Safari + Mount Kilimanjaro Trek
For the bold-hearted, this combo brings together two of Tanzania’s most legendary adventures: a classic safari and a Kilimanjaro climb. Begin by tracking elephants in Tarangire or lions in the Serengeti, then take on the challenge of Africa’s highest peak.
Choose from scenic routes like Machame, Marangu, or Lemosho, each offering unique landscapes and climbing experiences. With acclimatization days and expert mountain guides included, this combo is ideal for active travelers and those chasing a true bucket-list achievement.
Safari + Cultural Tours
Add a deeper dimension to your adventure by combining a wildlife safari with authentic cultural experiences. Visit traditional Maasai villages, spend time with the Hadzabe bushmen around Lake Eyasi, or connect with the Datoga people and their time-honored blacksmithing traditions.
This combo is perfect for travelers who want to go beyond game drives and learn about Tanzania’s diverse communities, customs, and conservation efforts — making your safari not just exciting, but also enriching.
Northern & Southern Circuit Combo
Can’t decide between the classic parks of the north and the off-the-beaten-path south? Why not experience both? Start in the famed Northern Circuit — Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire — where wildlife is abundant and landscapes iconic. Then venture into the wild, untamed beauty of the Southern Circuit, featuring Selous (Nyerere), Ruaha, and Mikumi.
This combo is ideal for repeat visitors or those seeking varied landscapes, fewer crowds, and exceptional biodiversity. From lion prides to river safaris, this journey showcases Tanzania’s full natural splendor.
The best time to embark on a combo safari in Tanzania depends on what you want to experience — whether it’s dramatic wildlife encounters, summit views from Kilimanjaro, or relaxing beach days on Zanzibar.
For classic game viewing, the dry season from June to October is ideal. This is when animals gather around water sources, making sightings in places like Serengeti and Tarangire more frequent and dramatic. It’s also prime time for witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration river crossings in the Northern Serengeti.
If you’re drawn to the magical calving season, plan your safari between January and March. This is when herds gather in the Southern Serengeti, and thousands of baby wildebeest are born daily — a time full of life, beauty, and predator-prey action. It also aligns with favorable weather for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, offering clear skies and manageable trails.
Zanzibar is a year-round destination, but the best months to visit are from June to March, when the weather is warm, dry, and perfect for beach activities, snorkeling, and exploring Stone Town.
No matter the time of year, there’s a perfect combination waiting — and we’ll help you match your safari dreams to the best season for the ultimate experience.
