A trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar offers an extraordinary blend of adventure, culture, and natural wonder. In mainland Tanzania, travelers can experience iconic safaris through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, where the "Big Five" roam freely across golden plains. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, challenges hikers with its towering presence, while local tribes like the Maasai share centuries-old traditions that add depth to every encounter.
From there, a short flight takes you to Zanzibar—a spice-scented island paradise. Its capital, Stone Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with labyrinthine alleys, ancient doorways, and Swahili-Arabic architecture. Beyond the city, white-sand beaches and turquoise waters invite endless relaxation, snorkeling, and dhow sailing adventures.
Tanzania and Zanzibar together offer a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience: a seamless blend of wild landscapes, rich heritage, and tropical serenity. Ideal for honeymooners, solo explorers, and adventure-seekers alike.

Exploring East Africa, including safaris, tribe visits, and local experiences, requires specific mobility considerations for a comfortable trip.
1. Safari Vehicles: Safaris use specially equipped 4x4 vehicles. These have high steps, so a moderate level of physical mobility is necessary to get in and out of these vehicles. We offer a mobile step to assist you to get into the vehicle. Please note that you will be getting in and out of the vehicle several times a day (for rest stops, meals, shopping, etc.).
2. Walking on Uneven Terrain: Safari and local cultural experiences involve short walks on uneven ground to explore specific areas. Good mobility helps navigate these paths.
3.. Long Drives and Bumpy Roads: A reasonable level of physical stamina is beneficial for safari drives, which can last several hours. It's essential that you are comfortable with sitting for extended periods and are able to handle the rugged, bumpy roads.
4. Footwear: Wearing sturdy, comfortable footwear is important for managing the terrain. A good pair of sneakers or hiking shoes is a must-have on this trip.
If you have specific mobility needs, it's crucial to communicate these to Overton Travel at the time of booking. We may be able to make special accommodations, such as providing steps for the vehicles, arranging for certain room types, or offering assistance with activities.
By planning ahead and working together, we may be able to create a comfortable and enjoyable cultural experience in East Africa for you.
