Southern Tanzania & Pemba Island

Your journey begins in the heart of Zanzibar’s old town. Stone Town is a maze of narrow alleyways, carved doors, vibrant markets and sea-salt air. Influenced by Arab, African and European cultures, the city tells centuries-old stories at every turn. Visit the former slave market, sip coffee on a rooftop terrace, or simply wander and take it all in. It’s a place of contrasts and atmosphere – the perfect start before heading into the Tanzanian wilderness.

Southern Tanzania offers a safari experience shaped by water and wildness. Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous, is defined by rivers, floodplains and forests. Game drives reveal lions, elephants and giraffes, while boat safaris along the Rufiji offer close encounters with hippos, crocodiles and kingfishers. Wildlife here moves freely and naturally. And between activities, there’s time to slow down – to listen, to watch, and to be present in the rhythm of the bush.

Ruaha is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. The landscapes are dramatic: baobab trees, rocky hills and dry riverbeds stretch across a vast, untamed wilderness. It’s home to large lion prides, herds of elephant, rare antelope species and over 500 bird species. You’ll head out in open vehicles with few others around – following animal tracks in the early morning or golden evening light. Each day feels different. There’s no script, just pure, unscripted safari. The silence stays with you long after you leave.

Finally, you’ll fly to Pemba – Zanzibar’s quiet, green sister island. It’s a place of peace and privacy, where coral reefs fringe the coast and traditional dhows glide across the sea. Whether you’re snorkelling the reef, exploring spice plantations or relaxing in a hammock by the ocean, life unfolds at its own pace. Here, nature sets the tone – and you follow. The perfect place to reflect, reconnect and rest after the rhythm of the wild.
