8-Day Safari & Beach Combination: Nyerere & Mafia Island

8 Days Nyerere National Park, Mafia Island, Tanzania Abakombe Tours and Safaris 5.0/5 from 1 review

Overview

A safari-and-beach combination pairing Nyerere National Park's river-based wildlife with Mafia Island's whale shark snorkeling and marine park - a genuinely different pairing from the standard Serengeti-Zanzibar combo.

This itinerary swaps the classic Serengeti-Zanzibar formula for a southern Tanzania alternative - Nyerere's boat safaris and game drives followed by Mafia Island's marine wildlife, appealing to travelers who want both a quieter safari and a quieter beach destination.

Migration Serengeti Safari provided a wonderful safari tour. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the trip was well organized, and the Serengeti experience was amazing. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
