What is the best 15 days Kenya Tanzania safari and Zanzibar beach holiday?
A 15 Days Kenya Tanzania Wildlife & Zanzibar Beach Safari combines Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar, offering Big Five game drives followed by a relaxing Indian Ocean beach escape.

The 15 Days Kenya Tanzania Wildlife & Zanzibar Beach Safari is a perfectly balanced safari-and-beach journey designed for travelers who want to experience East Africa’s greatest wildlife destinations and unwind on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar. Covering Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti National Park, and the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, this itinerary delivers world-class wildlife viewing before transitioning to a tranquil Indian Ocean retreat.

Curated for 2026, 2027, and 2028, this safari is led by expert local guides, uses carefully selected lodges and tented camps, and follows a logical routing that minimizes backtracking while maximizing game-viewing time. Unlike mass-market packages, this tour is locally operated, flexible, and conservation-minded—supporting community conservancies and eco-certified accommodations.

From elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, rhino tracking in Lake Nakuru, predator action in Masai Mara, endless plains of the Serengeti, and the wildlife-rich caldera of Ngorongoro, the safari portion is nothing short of spectacular. The journey ends with several nights in Zanzibar, where turquoise waters, coral reefs, and Swahili culture provide the perfect contrast to the safari adventure.
