10-Day Zanzibar Safari — Private Itinerary
Travellers focused on Zanzibar with 10 days available.
A 10-day Zanzibar safari is one of our most-requested itineraries — long enough to settle into the rhythm of the bush and short enough to fit into a normal holiday. You'll spend 8 full days game-viewing in Zanzibar Archipelago with a private 4×4 and a senior driver-guide.
