7 Days of Pure African Magic: Masai Mara Safari to Zanzibar Beaches
detail informations
A Brief Description
7 Days/ 6 Nights
Picture this: You’re sitting in your safari vehicle as a lioness walks just meters away, her cubs playfully tumbling behind her. Three days later, you’re sipping a cold drink with your toes in warm sand, watching the sun melt into the Indian Ocean. This is exactly what awaits you on this incredible 7-day journey from Kenya’s legendary Masai Mara to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar.
We’ve designed this adventure for people who want it all – the thrill of African wildlife and the bliss of beach relaxation, all wrapped up in one seamless experience.
Day 1: Welcome to the Wild Side
Your adventure kicks off with a flight from Nairobi straight to the Masai Mara Safari. No bumpy 5-hour drives here – just a smooth flight over Kenya’s beautiful countryside until you land right in the heart of Africa’s most famous game reserve.
The moment you step off that small plane, you’ll feel it – that electric energy of the African bush. Our team meets you at the tiny airstrip and drives you to Governors’ Camp, where you’ll be staying in a luxury tent that’s nothing like camping back home. We’re talking proper beds, hot showers, and a private deck where you can watch elephants drink from the Mara River while you enjoy your morning coffee.
After settling in, you’ve got options. Hungry? Enjoy a delicious lunch at the camp. Ready for action? Grab a picnic and head straight out for your first game drive. The choice is yours!
Days 2-3: Living the Safari Dream
These are the days you’ll remember forever. Each morning starts with someone bringing fresh coffee or tea right to your tent door – trust me, there’s no better way to wake up than with that first sip while listening to the sounds of Africa waking up around you.
After a hearty breakfast (they do amazing eggs here), you’ll head out with your expert guide who knows this reserve like the back of his hand. These aren’t just drivers – they’re passionate wildlife experts who grew up in this area and can spot a leopard hiding in a tree from half a mile away.
What makes these days special:
The game drives are incredible. You might see massive elephant families teaching their babies how to use their trunks, or witness the drama of a lion hunt. Every drive is different, and your guide will make sure you’re in the right place at the right time.
Between drives, you can relax by the river, maybe get a massage at the spa tent, or just chill on your deck with a good book. The evenings are magical – sundowners overlooking the plains while your guide shares stories about the animals you’ve seen that day.
The food is fantastic too. Some nights it’s a big buffet where you can try local specialties alongside familiar favorites. Other nights, they serve you a beautiful three-course meal under the stars. And yes, the wine selection is excellent!
Day 4: From Savanna to Sea
This morning, you’ll say goodbye to your new Mara family (and yes, they do become like family after just a few days). Then it’s time for another flight – this time to Zanzibar, where everything changes from golden grasslands to turquoise waters.
The flight takes about three hours, and watching the landscape change below is half the fun. You’ll see Mount Kilimanjaro if the weather’s clear, then the Tanzanian coast, and finally those picture-perfect islands scattered across the Indian Ocean like jewels.
Landing in Zanzibar feels like stepping into a different world. The air smells of spices and sea salt, and there’s a relaxed island vibe that immediately makes your shoulders drop. Our local team meets you and drives you to Nungwi Dreams, perched right on what many consider the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar.
Your room has a view that’ll make you want to take a thousand photos – endless blue ocean stretching to the horizon. But here’s a tip: put the camera down for a moment and just soak it in.
Days 5-6: Island Life at Its Best
These two days are all about finding your rhythm. Some people want to be active every minute, others just want to lie on the beach with a good book. The beauty of this place is that you can do whatever feels right.
The beach life: The sand here is soft and white, the kind that squeaks under your feet. The water is that impossible shade of blue-green you see in postcards, and it’s warm year-round. You can swim, snorkel, try some water sports, or just float on your back watching the dhow boats sail by.
Beyond the beach: Just a short walk from your hotel, there’s something really special – a turtle sanctuary where you can actually swim with green turtles in their natural lagoon. It’s run by a local conservation group, and seeing these gentle giants up close is incredibly moving.
If you want to explore more, there’s Jozani Forest where you might spot the rare red colobus monkeys that only live here. The forest feels like a secret garden, with butterflies everywhere and birds you’ve never seen before.
The food and drinks: Everything’s included, from your morning coffee to that sunset cocktail. There’s a restaurant right on the beach where you can eat with your feet in the sand, plus a rooftop bar that’s perfect for watching the sun disappear into the ocean. The seafood is caught daily – try the grilled lobster if you’re feeling fancy!
The two infinity pools are perfect for cooling off during the heat of the day, and there’s always a good spot to find some shade with a cold drink.
Day 7: Until We Meet Again
Your last morning in paradise. Take one more walk on the beach, maybe grab a final swim, or just sit with your coffee and reflect on the amazing week you’ve had. Our team will handle all the airport transfers, so you can just relax until it’s time to go.
