14-Day Tanzania Safari and beach holiday

Experience Africa with a local touch.

Short Overview

The price for this 14-day combination trip, which includes an unforgettable safari through Tanzania’s most iconic national parks followed by a relaxing beach holiday in Zanzibar, varies depending on several important factors. Key considerations include the travel season, as peak periods typically have higher rates due to increased demand, the level of accommodation selected ranging from budget-friendly lodges to mid-range comfort or luxurious five-star resorts and the total number of travelers, since traveling in a larger group, such as four people, usually reduces the per-person cost compared to a smaller party of two.

 Verified Fantastic Tour Company! I strongly recommend going with Sarafika Tours! Jasmine and her team were incredibly accommodating, setting up a fantastic, affordable, package that were tailored to our wants and asks. We went on a four-day Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro, and stayed at fantastic places. Our guide—Isaack—was fantastic, exhibiting a wonderful sense of respect and admiration for nature and the fauna that constitutes it. Anyone looking for a genuine, kind, and highly detailed tour operator: Sarafika is where you should go.

 Verified Fantastic Tour Company- highly recommend I had a wonderful experience with Jasmine of Sarafika Tours. I made a last minute change in my travel plans and decided to add Tanzania to my itinerary. Jasmine was super responsive and attentive to all my questions and concerns while putting together a 4 day safari and 3 night stay in Zanzibar in less than 3 weeks prior to departure for my mother and I. The private safari was fantastic- our guide was great and we enjoyed all the accommodations. Ngorogoro and the Serengeti were amazing. Everything went seamlessly and Jasmine checked in regularly throughout our entire trip to make sure we were satisfied. I reached out to multiple safari companies and Sarafika offered the best priced packages for my needs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sarafika Tours when visiting Tanzania.

 Verified Family safari We came across Jasmine from Sarafika Tours through someone else. She is Tanzanian but has lived in the Netherlands for a long time and therefore also speaks Dutch. We wanted to travel with 7 people, including 3 small children (4, 7 and 9) and grandparents in their 70s, and therefore had some wishes regarding overnight stays (preferably with a swimming pool, family rooms, not driving too far distances, etc.) . Jasmine understood this immediately and immediately drew up a good program for this. Everywhere with family rooms / tented camps so that we could sleep together with the children. There was also a swimming pool everywhere so that the children could splash around after a long safari day (and we could have a quiet drink). At Rhotia Valley the waiter even played games with our children. Baraka was our guide and this was also a success. We laughed about how he scared away monkeys during our picnics. He spotted a lot of animals. And he had a good sense of what we wanted. Sarafika tours also offered a good price compared to other operators, but with excellent quality.
