Kenya & Tanzania (Nairobi to Zanzibar)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Nairobi to Zanzibar route spans two of East Africa's most iconic destinations, taking travellers from Kenya's bustling capital through Tanzania's legendary wilderness to the spice-scented shores of the Indian Ocean. Kenya and Tanzania together are home to the Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Kilimanjaro — the backbone of the world's greatest safari circuit, including the annual Great Migration of wildebeest and zebra. The journey typically combines game drives across sweeping savannah, cultural encounters with Maasai communities, and time in Zanzibar's Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site layered with Swahili, Arab, and colonial history. Zanzibar's white-sand beaches and coral reef diving make it the perfect finale to an overland East African adventure.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
