Amboseli, Serengeti & Zanzibar: All-Inclusive Wild-to-Ocean Escape
Amboseli · Central Serengeti · Zanzibar 10 Days / 9 Nights From $6,480 per person
Overview
The journey
A 10-day all-inclusive fly-in safari — one of our Kenya and Tanzania safari tours. An all-inclusive fly-in safari — every flight between parks, conservancies and countries, park fees, meals, drinks and activities included — through Amboseli, Central Serengeti and Zanzibar. The route runs in one direction with no doubling back, and saves the best for last — stone town and the white beaches of zanzibar.
Why this safari
What makes it different
10 days across 4 camps, every sector flown, with your own guide on the ground.
4 distinct ecosystems in 10 days
Nairobi · Amboseli · Central Serengeti · Zanzibar — each chosen for a different animal, landscape and light, and ordered so you never double back.
A tight, purposeful route with no wasted days
Every move is planned around game movements and light, so short days still deliver full game-viewing mornings.
Your own 4x4 Land Cruiser and private guide
No shared vehicles and no fixed departure times — you decide when to leave camp, how long to sit with a sighting, and where to have breakfast.
Every transfer flown by private charter
You are in a game vehicle minutes after landing, with luggage handled planeside — the same route by road costs the better part of two days.
Ultra-Luxury is genuinely all-inclusive
All meals, premium drinks, laundry, park and conservancy fees, private guiding and the charter flights are in the price. You should not need your wallet until you tip.
Priced honestly, with fees shown up front
Park and conservation fees, taxes and levies are itemised on your proforma invoice — 50% confirms the booking and the balance is due before travel.

Maasai Mara · 6 nights

Amboseli & Tsavo · 5 nights
“The migration timing advice was spot on. When one camp went full they moved us to a better one in the same conservancy at no extra cost, same day.”
