Beach or Bush? Why Not Both?

When it comes to planning a trip to East Africa, you might be torn between two incredible experiences — the thrill of a safari adventure in the wild or the relaxation of powdery beaches and turquoise waters. At Great African Wonders, we say… why not both?

With the perfect blend of bush and beach, you can chase lions by sunrise and sip cocktails by sunset — all in one unforgettable journey.

Start in the Wild: The Safari Experience

Imagine waking up to the sounds of roaring lions or trumpeting elephants. With us, you can explore:

  • Serengeti National Park – For epic wildlife encounters and the Great Migration

  • Ngorongoro Crater – A natural amphitheater packed with diverse wildlife

  • Tarangire & Lake Manyara – Home to ancient baobabs, tree-climbing lions, and flamingos

  • Selous & Ruaha – Off-the-beaten-path parks with intimate, crowd-free safaris

Guided by our expert team, your days will be filled with game drives, sundowners, and luxury bush camps under starlit skies.

Then Unwind by the Sea: The Coastal Escape

After the dust and drama of the bush, nothing beats the calming contrast of the coast. We take you to:

  • Zanzibar – Historic Stone Town, spice farms, and serene white beaches

  • Pemba Island – Untouched and lush, ideal for honeymooners and divers

  • Mafia Island – A diver’s paradise and home to seasonal whale sharks

  • Mainland beaches – Quiet gems like Pangani and Bagamoyo, rich with Swahili history

Swim, snorkel, sail, or simply soak in the sun — your beach escape is as adventurous or relaxed as you wish.island
