Reviews
Jasper
CoupleIf you're looking for the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, we highly recommend the Fly-In Safari and Zanzibar Beach Tour. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, every detail of our journey was seamlessly organised, including all transfers between the airport, safari, and Zanzibar.
One of the biggest highlights was starting our first game drive immediately after arrival, making the most of our time in the wilderness. Our guide and driver were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife, helping us spot all of the Big Five and making every game drive an unforgettable experience. Throughout the safari, everything was taken care of—from meals and refreshments to the daily itinerary—so we could simply relax and enjoy the incredible landscapes and wildlife.
After the excitement of the safari, our stay at Blue Moon Resort in Zanzibar was the perfect way to unwind. The peaceful beach setting provided the ideal contrast to the adventure of the safari, and the convenience of storing some of our luggage during the safari made the transition effortless.
