Seif was absolutely great! We had a great chat on the walk from the hotel to the pier. The lads on the boat were such a laugh. We enjoyed it so so much. Thanks to everyone!
Unbelievable safari! Was able to see all of the Big 5 except for the leopard. Accommodations were in a camp like setting with a big tent and decent bed giving the outdoor experience.

Set your alarm for an unforgettable morning: the Kizimkazi Dolphin Tour is a family-friendly trip to Zanzibar’s premier dolphin-spotting location, on the southern coast of the island. Glide across shallow waters where both bottlenose and the more elusive humpback dolphins are frequently seen nursing, feeding, and socializing.
Early departures maximize your chances of spotting these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, though patience is sometimes rewarded with rare appearances. Beyond its marine marvels, Kizimkazi is also home to a 12th-century mosque—one of East Africa’s oldest—offering a unique blend of wildlife and cultural discovery.
This tour package’s standout feature is its combination of dolphin watching and historical exploration, making it an ideal choice for families and young adventurers eager to experience the best of Zanzibar’s coast.
Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater form the backbone of this 5-day camping adventure—perfect for wildlife enthusiasts craving the raw, untamed beauty of Tanzania.

Next, experience the world-famous Serengeti, where the Great Migration unfolds in a spectacle of survival and drama. Watch as game animals traverse crocodile-filled rivers and predators stalk their prey in real time. The journey concludes in the Ngorongoro Crater, a unique ecosystem where rare species like the black rhino thrive, and the chance to spot the Big Five in a single day is high.
